How to get back on track if you gained weight after Bariatric Surgery. Use the 2+2 Diet!
The best way to start if you have gained some weight after either your banding or your bypass is to pick a simple way of eating that is not too extreme. My 2+2 diet works well with my patients. The diet consists of drinking a protein shake for breakfast and as a snack at around 3pm in the afternoon. Costco sell a premade shake that has 160 calories and 30 gms of protein called premier protein. It has 4 points if you use the weight watchers system. For lunch include a salad and fish or chicken. At dinner time have salad, vege and a meat or fish. Most people do well with a total of 1000 to 1100 calories per day. This will allow you to drop about a pound per week. You can eat around 700 calories for lunch and dinner together. Good luck.
