Hopefully this will work.. Very good article on different kinds of fat heart issues.

Unless you dump on fat, fat is your friend.  ; )

I did low fat for years and it worked for awhile.   Then it began to get more and more challenging.  Now I focus on sugars and carbs and calories and really dont worry about fat. It also helps that the amts of food we get in arent very large so it isnt that much fat.  I do know some RNYs who dump on fat though.

Interesting stuff!

I used to dump on fat and stayed away from it like the plague, but not anymore (in reasonable amounts).  Yes, if I eat fried chicken, I'll feel bad... but otherwise I can tolerate butter, etc very well.

Thanks for posting this - it was an interesting read.

I NEVER ate fat before WLS .... and that regimen did keep what I FELT was 100 lbs off ...despite raging metabolic syndrome diabetes induced weight gain etc... .

Post -op Ive become MUCH more relaxed and experimental ... jus trying to figure out and enjoy his new body and much less restrictive lifestyle .  

My common sense  still kicks in though.  I see TV "chefs " using half a cup or more  WHATEVER oil in a recipe and say  oh but no !  We might as well grab that oil and APPLY it to whatever empty fat cells we have .. because they WILL fill up THAT efficiently after that high fat meal guaranteed .   Excess Fat cells ' (  of which we have FAR more than the average person because we were MO  remember ?  ) whole reason for existence is STORAGE  and WLS has emptied them out but NEVER gotten rid of them ( only PS can do that and only very partially ).

Why go through a very painful cycle of regain and restrictive dieting and over -exercising when you don't have to ?    Evening primrose oil / flaxseed oil capsules give us the healing / brain stimulating benefits of the BEST oils while dulling cravings for more fat .
