List of VSG Post-Op Diets from Surgeons

[mistysj 1,940]

Here are links to several VSG diets from well-respected bariatric surgeons, hospitals, and clinics around the world. I didn't make this list for the purpose of "diet shopping". It is remarkable how similar the advice is in most of these lists. We all know it:

• Protein first
• Lots of Protein (I think the lowest plan here calls for 50 grams)
• Don't drink with meals
• Drink 8+ glasses of Water a day

If your surgeon's plan is not on this list already and it's published online, leave the link as a reply and I'll add it. Maybe we can get this thread added to the stickies.

Great resource of information. Thank you!

Thank you - this is wonderful. I find it interesting, as the information I get is a little different. I think the problem is that the others go by weight and can do 40 some grams a day and be ok.
