DIET is a 4 letter word with many meanings

 Most of us want to get away from quick loss-short term diets.  These are the diets we have often had in the past.  When I refer to my diet, I am merely referring to my manner of eating.  I am following a way of eating which is can also be called a diet.  Differentiating between them may be difficult at times, but I'm not going to go to great lengths to explain what my long term post-op diet is.

I have had to change my post-op diet over time because just following the simple rules I was given when I had my RNY back in 2000.  I lost over 200 using my original food plan.  I do eat a balanced food plan that my doctor has approved.  I try to keep at about 1600 calories per day.  Expecting me to eat only 1000 cal per day 10 years post op is unrealistic.  I know I have to watch out for simple carbs.  I am following a food addiction diet.
