I do not regret getting my surgery done. I had few (if any)

complications though.

I can eat everything now (8 months out). That's dangerous though

because that includes bad things.

Gave you a list of things you can't eat after surgery? Do you mean a

diet for the first few weeks/months? I can understand a restricted

diet following surgery but you do get your diet back you know. This

isn't a miracle solution that changes your relationship with food or

your eating habits. It only helps and even then is some what

temporary. I did get sick on rice once about 5 weeks out but after

three months I was able to eat meats of all color (not the green ones

though, yuck) and rice.

January? Cool! Have it done on the 20th! That's my one year

anniversary.

Hello,I have no regrets of the surgery.I feel so much healthier that I

wuuld do it again in a heartbeat.

I have eaten red meat with no problems & I am 2 1/2 months post op.If

I have anything with alot fat I notice I get sick in the stomach.I

really don't have it often at all but the few times I did I felt

ill.Also we are supposed to avoid sugar.

All surgeons have different rules but when it comes down to it most

patients end up doing most of the same things.

Best of luck to you.

I do not regret this surgery- not for one second of one day

What you eat, or choose to eat, depends on your committment to this new

lifestyle and the healthier choices you make for yourself poat surgery.

You will hear from people who eat everything, even sugary foods, and

never feel sick or regret it. People eat carbs, even white carbs or

empty carbs regularly. I have chosen to stay away from sugars ( no more

than 5g) in fear or belief that I will dump. I am staying away from

whte carbs for the most part, have had a bit of potato but that is

about it. I get my carbs from fruits and vegetables using a glycemic

index as a guide. I also swear by FITDAY.COM I log everything that goes

into my mouth.

ive feet tall. On my surgery day of 7/19 I weighed 264 pounds. It is

not two full months later and I weigh 218 as of yesterday! 46 pounds

gone!!

I am 39. I am f
