Okay, we’re all here because we struggled with (or struggle with) food. Most of us have probably spent a good portion of our lives thinking about food. But how much did you know about nutrition before considering weight loss surgery? Did you know which foods are low-calorie, and which are likely to make you hungrier? Or were you clueless?

Now that you’ve started thinking about WLS or you’ve had it, how much would you say you know about nutrition? Do you feel like it is enough?

I don’t know a whole lot. I think it is “enough,” but I wouldn’t mind knowing a little more. I know how to recognize a lean Protein, and I know that vegetables and fruit are good, and I know that portion control is necessary. Beyond that, I’m not an expert on nutrients, so I just hope I’m getting a well-rounded diet.

Did you get any after support from the doc?

How do we get back on track when we have had a WLS surgery? I been eating all the wrong foods and of course have put a lot of weight back on, I need to know how to get back on track?
Thank you.

I took nutrition in high school along with cooking and food safety I know alot about it but the bad stuff just tasted better and I was lazy and hated cooking. Now I love cooking and trying to mix up things in the crock pot
