See Liz I can and do eat all those veggies and fruits you mention regularly ... and even whole grain bread and sometimes pasta ... and fat free dairy and even fat free desserts in moderation ... ( no I don't go to town on the desserts mainly because I honestly find them way too sweet unless I bake them myself ..and even then .. Im not that attracted ) Thank God MY Body doesnt gain weight from eating vegetables and fruit and salads .
Just to put it out there . There are a LOT of RNYers complaining ( especially years out ) of reactive hypoglycemia .. which is basically quick blood sugarswings after meals due to not having a pylorus valve anymore .
The only cure is to eat little and often... basically all day grazing . And to eat a diet high in carbs .
Guess what .. I suspect fat free may be the ONLY way to eat with that condition and successfully maintain the weight loss.
My having RH is the reason I did not get the RNY, I knew I had it already and so no reason to make it worse.
Low carb is the best way to handle RH.

I was worried about the RH too. My dr thinks I have that and it is a yucky feeling! I notice it after eating carbs! Doesn't your body need some fat. If you only absorb 20% of fat and you geat really low fat, what happens? Do you have dry skin, hair etc. What if I got pregnant in a few years after DS? A baby has to have fat for brain development. I guess I could ask the DR. about that...
Exactly, Mel, your body does need fat as long as it's the good kinds, olive oil is a real biggie.
For a DS'er fat is our friend Since we only absorb 20% then we have to have lots of it to equal what someone without WLS would need daily, which is about 30 grams. So given that a normal person needs around 30 grams, we can have well over 100 and still be fine. 20% of 100 is only 20 grams.
Keep asking questions!
