I am 3 yrs post op and need help with some regain. I am trying very hard and have lost SOME but want to try and get all of it back off.

I was thinking about changing it up and trying the diet from Dr Now, since the folks on My 600 Lb Life seem to do pretty well.

However, when I went to the website I was kind of shocked. Their 'outreach' page lists nutritional information and advises women post op to consume 5-6 servings of grains a day INCLUDING RICE and 8-9 servings of FRUITS/veg...

okay, I'm confused.

I hear Dr Now tell people on the show to totally restrict carbs, fruits, etc. So why is the website so different??? Any input?

It's because, due to liability reasons, Dr. Nowzaradan and his handlers are far too astute to publish their real post-op diet on the world wide web.

It would be akin to providing medical advice to masses of patients who have never been assessed by the good doctor. Then when something goes wrong, someone out there wants to file a lawsuit.

There are no secrets or magic associated with losing a substantial regain. The dietitian or nutritionist at your bariatric practice will also probably waste your time by providing garden variety information about creating a modest caloric deficit of 25% each day to slowly lose the regain.

You indicated you're a nurse practitioner, so you are educated presumably at the masters or doctorate level. You have more than enough information on nutrition to lose the regain. It's really simple: to lose it, return to the basics that caused you to lose during the first six months out.
