I went to a pre-surgery meeting at about three months for a refresher. When asked if I had anything to say, I told the group to be prepared to follow a diet plan after surgery. Boy, did I get a glare!
However, just because you have the surgery and loose the weight, it doesn't mean you will be able to ignore your diet. Everything I've read says that the patient of wls will regain a percentage of the weight lost. So we need to STILL eat right, exercise and take into account any specific problems we might have....it IS a tool to be used with a continuous program for good health. I, too, have stalled. AND I feel like I did before the surgery. Frustrated.
However, I am trying to follow my own advise...continuing to exercise, drink h2o, and eat right.
Good luck to you all.
