Has anyone else read this book by Dr Matthew Weiner? It seems like a really good plan once we can eat normal food again. (The book is not just for WLS patients). He may lean a little closer to vegan than I prefer but adding in more plant Proteins wouldn’t kill me. Just curious about others takes on his plan.

I think it's a good approach.

Lots of plant food and therefore lots of phytonutrients but I'm definitely biased towards vegan and/or plant based.

I found it very interesting that even some things that dietitians recommend like crystal light he says to stay away from. That would be my hardest thing to kick I think. Since surgery I do drink Water most of the time but I splurge like once a day with crystal light.

His YouTube videos are great, he explained a lot of stuff that I found really helpful. Good suggestion on his book, I’ll have to pick it up.

I loved his videos as well. Helped me go from anxious to excited about surgery when I felt all alone (before I found this site). Let me know what you think of the book.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
