I am going in for my initial resting metabolic rate testing and nutritional consult tomorrow. I know from my research and my initial consultation visit that this program focuses on a low carb diet after surgery and I assume also in the pre-surgery stage.

I've done low carb many times, including most of June and every time, I experience digestive issues with loose stools. This doesn't resolve until I go back to eating grains.

Has anyone had a similar experience and if so, how did you deal with it, especially after surgery (bypass, in my situation)?

I'm concerned that my new diet after surgery will leave me life-long digestive issues.

Two hours is a little too frequent. I eat every 3. Grazing is sort of picking at food all day, at random. Eating every 3 hours, by the clock, is not the same as grazing. It's just eating by a particular plan.

I have already faced the iron deficiency last year that cause so much hair loss & I was very disappointed also feeling so weak. I don't know about this product but if your doctors recommend you this so maybe I would be good for you.

I used google and added my meals...turns out you have to do it on the computer and can't do it on mobile, which I was trying to do.

Although 35 lbs might not be where you want to be, it's still a significant amount. I'm afraid that being restricted to such a low daily calorie goal will be hard. Do you feel hungry?

Thank you for your answer! How did you adjust MyFitnessPal to 6 meals? I have looked at everything in settings and can't find it.

I also appreciate hearing what a typical day looks like in reality. Are you overall happy that you had the surgery?
