Fat does not spike insulin, which is actually what triggers fat storage. Insulin is a big culprit in weight gain. It's so lipogenic, if you give yourself insulin shots in the same area, you wind up with a giant fat deposit. Ketogenic diets are very good for weight loss, as well as overall health. I get about 70-100g of protein daily. The rest of the calories are primarily fat, then maybe 5-10% (at most) come from carbohydrate.
Fat also naturally suppresses hunger. Insulin stimulates it. Even a year out, when I eat very low carb and high fat I am never ever hungry. It comes roaring back the instant I have a significant amount of carbs, even if its from fruit.
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

I believe fat is important. I never did low fat while losing. We need fat too.

I think there's something to it. I never did low fat, usually food that was low fat was low flavor too & to make up for the flavor they added more carbs/sugar which is something I try to avoid. I do luv me some bacon, but it does have a lot of salt, & nitrites yeah there's that but I figure there are worse things to worry about.
Someone mentioned healthy fats, that's cool, I do like avocado, but the nuts I can go overboard on & it ups my calorie count, plus all the carbs, just a bit too much for me right now.
No one surgery is better than the other, what works for one may not work for another.
