Yes, no processed foods. Clean means simple.

I was told don't eat anything White cuz it's going to be crap.No white flour,

no sugar, etc

Milk is the only thing white that I imbibe and even that in real small moderation,

only in my tea or coffee. Obviously one can get carried away with the word"processed",

any oil could be described as processed -

I mean oils and vinaigres etc could be called processed but that's not what

we're talking about here. Those things have been made for a millennia, we're talking about avoiding

modern processing processes in factories, so this cuts out a ton of food, but I don't know about

you guys, but I wanna change my life and the habits that got me to Bariatric surgery in the first place

Hi. Also means whole food organic Protein powders. Read about them. Once you start, it's your new addiction. I also switch my brands around and use 2 at a time alternating to take advantage of all the different nutrients. Clean eating makes you feel wonderful and it can only help.

Good Luck Lynn

I would add that you should also pay attention to your meat selections. The nutritional makeup of grass fed beef is significantly better than most of the beef that is available in the grocery store. We eat such a small amount and the Protein and other nutrients that it provides us are so vital - it is so important to get the most nutritional value out of every bite we are eating. It is also lower in calories. Free range chicken is also much better for you. It takes some time, but is worth learning about.

Here is a link to a good article that explains it well:

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
