Specific diet after WLS??

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone tried to follow the South Beach diet after WLS? This is what i've most had success with (as far as losing weight) and wasn't sure if anyone else tried this after surgery and had success. Thanks!

Not by the book but my diet is closest to South Beach. I eat low GI carbs with healthy lean Proteins. I do not eat anything with white flour in it. I get my carbs from natural sources, oatmeal, fruits, veggies and dairy and occasionally have whole grain wrap bread. I don't eat starches (pasta, potato, rice, corn etc.) and I don't eat sugar. I don't count carb and Protein grams but it is pretty much the same principle.

I actually keep South Beach frozen dinners on hand for when I am in a pinch for something to eat. And I use their Cereal bars every so often to satisfy my sweet tooth.

Me too! Not by the book, but my doctor has a rule. Protein first and everyhting else there after. So basically it follows the some componets of the South Beach diet, in getting plenty of protein and low carbs.
