Diet from my PCOS doc

I hit a stall for the past 5 weeks, and my PCOS doc said I need to go on the south beach diet. Has anyone kind of far out tried this? 

I'm not sure if anyone on here has done it. I haven't, but there is this other forum I go to called SoulCysters and there are women there that have success with it. I've gained some weight, quite a bit, about 50lbs. And I plan on trying to stick with the 70% protein 30% veggie. That's what my surgeons nurse recommends. Also going back to only eating 3-4oz.

I was on South Beach Diet between 2003-2004.  It DOES work!  The problem I have is that I crave sweets and carbs RELENTLESSLY!  I am due to have surgery in December and am worried about this.  I almost wish I would dump and get sick with carbs after the surgery so I won't want them.

I hate to burst your bubble :-(  I had my RNY 11/14/2007 - my cravings for sugars got really bad in 2009 and are out of control and although dumping is HORRIBLE, the cravings almost always win.  The dumping can take 15 minutes or more after eating whatever sweet to happen and when you want that candy bar or ice cream so BAD - your mind is screaming at you - you convince yourself that a) maybe I won't dump this time or b) i seriously don't care if I dump, it's worth it.  Also, I learned very quickly from reading food labels exactly how many grams of sugar I could handle at once without dumping and so I knew if I ate half a snack sized snickers and saved the other half for an hour later, I could have the whole thing without dumping.  I need something to help me not have the sugar cravings at all :-(

I did South Beach pre-op and had a lot of success with it. My post-op diet isn't much different aside from the fact that my food volumes are much smaller. It's focused on the good carbs and good fats - and reducing carbs overall. There's a two week Phase 1 that is like an induction - No bread, fruit, sweets, at all, then Phase 2 you can reintegrate good carbs (whole grains, raw fruit, etc) slowly.
