Is "low carbing" the way to go?
Is this a good plan after having had a bypass? It seems to me that you'd miss getting some things you need. I know protein is a big one, but where would your calcium come from (no milk)? I know you can have cheese, etc...but somehow that just doesn't seem like a good plan.
I'm two years post op, btw. I'm not doing this, but someone else who has had a bypass has mentioned that she is doing this. I just wondered what y'all thought.
I lo-carb it myself. Not no carb. I do drink carb countdown milk, the chocolate on for my calcium. I usually have one cheese stick as well. I may have some a slice of whole wheat toast once a week. But mainly it's all protein. My doctor also makes us take Pepcid complete twice daily. That has more than enough calcium in it. It's worked for me so far, 3 months out as of yesterday and down 81 lbs.
