weight loss

A low-carb, high-protein diet is standard after weight loss surgery, and that makes it nearly impossible to fit in many fruits and fruit juices due to their high sugar and carb contents together with lack of protein. For example, a banana or cup of fruit juice has about 30 grams of carbs - mostly from sugar or starch - and almost no protein. 

The post-op weight loss surgery diet has a lot of rules, including how much protein to eat, which foods are allowed or not, and how much fluid to consume. Portion control is another important aspect. By knowing exactly how much you are eating of which foods, you can keep your calories and carbs in check to keep weight loss on track.

Have you experienced weight regain after you successfully lost weight following weight loss surgery? It is certainly common, and unbelievably frustrating. One solution may be a pouch reset diet. A Pouch Reset Diet is a diet plan that is intended to help your pouch “reset” itself to the way it was right after bariatric surgery. 

If you are losing weight, dessert is off the menu...or is it? Most desserts are packed with sugar, fat, starch, and/or calories, but the BariatricPal Store says desserts are completely fine for weight loss! The trick is to choose the right ones.

Ready, set, lose! A 2-week weight loss plan can get you on your way or back on track if a few bad habits have crept back in. But how do you get started?
