I do, I wasn't losing weight but gaining weight so me and my Nut decided I needed to try something I knew how to do, well that was my words and she agreed so Now I eat healthy choice, smart ones, lean cusine, I can only eat a little more then half depending on how big that certain dinner is. But I dont think its making a difference I have dropped only a couple pounds in this last week since I started, if by the end of this week I don't lose anything I'm thinking about seeing my surgeon. Sorry I went on and on I'm just having a hard time with having this major surgery and very little weight loss.

I could eat them, but avoid them because most are loaded with simple starches (rice, noodles, potatoes, etc), and light on Protein. The salt content is also typically quite high.

I ate them pre op all the time ... Now I keep my carbs below 40 and they dont work in my plan. When my carbs are high I am hungry, have cravings, and dont lose weight. You will deff lose weight with low calorie but you will lose weight quickly with low carb. I wanted to be at my goal weight yesterday so I am following the 600 to 800 calories/less then 40 carbs/more then 60 prot/min 64 oz Fluid. I know each doctor is diffrent and every nut has their own suggestion. I am a mexico sleever and didnt like my doctors post op plan. He basically didnt have restrictions on carbs or calories. I am followingg the eating plan that a lot of the successful vets on here used. It is working for me. I have lost 122 lbs in about 5 1/2 months! Best of luck to you. I hope you find a plan that works for you!

Seems like you're doing great! 122 in 5.5 months is amazing. We have similar eating plans (even though im not hitting each goal every day) and I was just wondering what your exercise is like if you don't mind my asking.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
