Ideal Protein diet

To anyone who might have information to share...

I had my RnY in Oct 2003.  I was at about 265 and in the first two years I was down to about 170...We moved from VA (Military) to San Diego, and I dropped another 20 pounds...now we are in WA state and I have am back up to 200 and climbing (I "affectionately" call it hibernation weight cause the weather is so miserable here!)

I have tried everything that I can to stop the climb, and nothing seems to be working!  I have some friends (fire-fighters) that are using the Ideal Protein diet and it seems to be going really well for them...I would like to try it, but am unsure if it's a good idea post-op...  Does anyone have experience with this?  The military docs up here are ridiculous - the nutritionist is bigger than I am!  And the rest of the docs don't seem to want to do the follow up the way they did in VA.

Help! 

Just went to the gastric bypass Doc...I just moved here to Wyoming from Alaska I am right there with ya hibernation will kill ya...I too gained and now am trying hard to get it off....the suggestion from them was success habits /colleen cook...look it up..also only protein and veggies....its hard...really really really hard but i am trying my best....would just kill for an apple or some grapefruit:) I hope this helps...good luck...stay away from anything white...sugar and flour and anything that contains them
