mediterranean diet can we do it?

Hello i have a question i am still struggling to loose ten pounds i have already cut back on what i was eating i left the breads the tortillas the pastas the junk food and nothing..i don't gain anymore weight but i also dont lose..my cousin was telling me of the mediterranean diet she was doing and i was reading on it and it is a healthy way of living so i wanted to know if anyone here has ever done or know of anyone who had gastric bypass and it has worked for them..also if you have any other suggestion on how i can start to lose weight again please let me know i would really appreciate it.

I'm not exactly familiar with that type of dieting, but I know any well rounded diet is fine after RNY. I would say to stick to whatever dieting plan that works for you and hope 10 pounds will come off over time. Just don't deprive yourself so too much trying to lose 10 pounds. You wouldn't want to put yourself in a deprive binge cycle.

 It should not only help you get rid of the 10 pounds, but be excellent for your overall health.  

With it's emphasis on lean protein (chicken, fish, veal) and fresh veges and fruit, healthy fats....olive oil etc.) it might be pretty similar to how you were eating as a post op.......no refined carbs etc. It's certainly a healthy diet as it emphasizes healthy food from local sources.......but food is only one part of the equation - particularly when you are a few years out and 10 pounds from goal. What's your exercise like? That might be the variable to explore. Susan

Thank u all for responding well i had started to do zumba but on april 1st i had a lumbar puncture done and ever since then when i try to do it my back kills me so i try and stick to walking..i have a question do u think that drinking protein would help me..?

At this point out I think eating protein from solid sources is a better way to manage hunger. If you have trouble meeting protein goals because you can't eat protein in denser forms then absolutely.....you need to minimally get 60 grams per day. Drinking calories when you can get nutrients from food is never a good strategy if you're trying to lose. We rely on shakes in the beginning because we generally can't eat sufficient solid food ...but once we can.....any food that has more staying power will get you from meal to meal without the desire to graze etc. Susan
