It's a plan but not a very DS friendly plan. Eating lean, low-fat foods is not how someone with a DS will lose weight (at least not in my experience).
Did you look at what you were eating over the last 2 months to have gained 25 pounds? It's all about going back to the basics (for the DS). Keep a food diary. High protein (at least 125 grams) and low carb (20 grams) plus lots of water (at least a gallon).

I had a stricture - had to be dilated twice (at four weeks out and eight weeks out). I had gastric bypass, though - not DS. In RNY, strictures (when they occur) are usually located at the stoma (opening between the pouch and the small intestine). Same deal, though - it's just overgrown scar tissue. They usually appear 1-3 months after surgery - they're pretty rare after that.
I think my life has been saved...
My gallbladder had to be removed, but I believe the balloon dilation did the job..
I had never heard of this, but apparently the opening to my stomach was almost closed.. now that I can eat without vomiting, the DS surgery affects appear to be working.
I've lost 5 pounds in the week since this procedure.
has anyone else heard of or had this procedure? Did it work or did you have to have a second stretching?
yes, it's rather common. It's called a stricture. It might happen snd have to be dilated more than once.

Most people lost one to two pounds a week. If you stick to your diet, you could drop 25 pounds in about three months. The real secret of weight loss is lowering calories. So weigh and measure everything and track it somewhere like MyFitnessPal. You need 10 calories per day for every pound you maintain. To maintain 150, eat 1500. To maintain 200, eat 2000.
To lose one pound per week, cut out 3500 calories. That is is 500 per day.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
I would buy some keto sticks at the pharmacy. Cut them in half, lengthwise so you double the number of tests. Test your urine daily and make sure you are in ketosis. If you are not, dump the bananas. Make some hard boiled eggs for snacks. Just keep them in the fridge.
A 10oz bottle of Muscle milk is only 18gr protein. But there are different kinds with different counts. I think the Fairlife shakes taste a lot better plus they are 30 gr protein. You might want to try them!
You will drop the weight quickly. In a month or 2 if this is truly all you eat!
I have gained almost 25lbs in the past 2 months. I'm eating out of boredom and depression. So I've decided to just eat chicken breast, tilapia and pork chops all grilled in my air fryer so no oil. I'm also going to have 1 or 2 chocolate/ banana shakes a day made with Muscle Milk so more protein. And lots of water. Does this sound like a good workable plan? Comments please.

I got my test results back from a full ds blood tests. 14 are either high or low. Mostly things improved. My copper went up, as did most of my low stuff however my red blood count tests went down, my white blood count went up. Hmm. To me it seems a low copper might have cause all the other problems. I'm feeling a lot better then last week. I'm happy to see most things getting better but I have not talk to my doctor yet. I eat lots of protein almost to much food but because normally I don't eat anything bad like I snack on roast beef. I dunno I'm not complicated and I just want to get better. I need to work out but I feel to tired too. So I don't know how to start. I'm taking everything my ds doctor told me too. So I'm covered on the stuff doctors tell you to do. I have great doctors. Ive never gained muscle in my life. I've worked out but I never managed to get in shape... Guess I'll look on you tube for work out stuff and maybe start writing down what I eat so I can add up my calories, drink more water, and I need to talk to my doctor about my latest results.
