WLS Food Pyramid
Has anyone ever developed a food pyramid for people who have undergone Weight Loss Surgery?
The FDA's pyramid includes several servings a day of Grains, Vegetables, Fruits, Milk, Meat & Beans, Oils. But with various people "dumping" when they eat certain foods.. it would seem that the pyramid has some flaws for those who have had WLS. In addition, it seems to me if you ate the minimum number of servings for each food group, you would eat too much food to really lose weight. I know that's why we take vitamin supplements.. but what about the proper amount of things like fiber and fat that we need to function?
What's in your food pyramid?

My pre-op diet was 40% Protein, 40% Carbs and 20% Fat. With the emphasis on protein, you could be right.
