I'd suggest skipping the cabbage diet and going back to the very basics of WLS eating, along with weighing & measuring everything and tracking it in My Fitness Pal or something similar.
That way you'll be in a pattern that you can continue, rather than a short-term diet.

I need to know if I can go on the cabbage diet after having gastric bypass. I've recently gained 10lbs. in the last 3 weeks and I am disgusted with myself, and I feel this is a good way for me to jump start my future diet, yet I don't know if it is safe for a bypass patient. Can anyone help me in this regard? If it's not safe for me, is there, or what can I do, to start to lose that weight. I was comfortable at 145lbs, I am grossed out with myself for this weight gain. I know one of my biggest issues is lack of exercise, but I suffer from fibromyalgia, severely, so much so that many days I can barely get off the couch for moments at a time. Any suggestions as to what I can do, cuz I know I could stick to the cabbage diet for 7 days, I love cabbage, yet I know how much we have to have protein, so I don't know what to do. Any helpful tips will be great. Thank you for anyone *****ad my story.
I am 1 year post op and I eat 15 max carbs per day or 5 per meal. May calorie intake is less than 600 and my protein is between 60-80. This is what my surgeon recommends for weight loss. I had the VSG one year ago today. Hope this helps.
Hi there,
i know the website says obesity help, but most people on here have opted for weight loss surgery.
If that's not something you are considering, I would suggest you google various low carb diet plans.
Like: keto diet, paleo, whole 30. Weigh****chers. If you google any of those terms plus menu or recipes, you will find tons of ideas.
Also, google weight loss and behaviour change. You will find tips on how to change your eating habits, or how to avoid falling into the same routines (like stress eating, boredom eating etc)
Start tracking the food you eat now. Get an idea of how many calories and what kind you are eating. I use the app My Fitness Pal. Once you know what you are eating, you can start to cut or reduce certain things. Like simple carbs (bread, rice pasta, pop)
keep reading on here. Even if surgery isn't t for you, there's lots to learn here.
take care,

I need strict diet recipes two lose weight and lots of it anyone have any ideas what kind of meals to eat what's the best thing to lose large amount weight
I also love to cook.
My scale has a hold button. It even will set zero when I turn on the scale.
what this means is the if I put a plate on the scale, then turn it on zero is now set to ignore that a plate is on the scale. If I then put 3 ounces of meat on the scale, and press the hold button, the scale resets the zero. I can then add 6 ounces of veggies.
You may want to see if your scale will let you do that.

Help, I need to boost my iron quick, my ferritin is at 9 and transferrin at 434. I did not realize it was this dangerous until checking with others and of course my Dr. told me to take 324 mg. ferrous sulfate iron? What carbonyl iron and how many mg can I take to boost my iron- sundown naturals perfect iron is being discontinued from what I see online and vitaladys tender iron is on back order, is the Cypress Iron brand (Polysaccharide-150mg Elemental) good to take? Thanks!

I wanted to add that as someone in the soft food stage, I forgot my lunch the other day. I walked over to the Quiznos (sub sandwich shop) and asked for a scoop of tuna in a dish. She gave me two huge scoops and charged me $2. I could only eat a little of it of course, but it was perfect, just soft tuna and mayo.
Our team went out for Thai food the other day. I just skipped the rice and had red curry on it's own. That seemed to work just fine and I got a container of the rest to go. There was some pressure for me to eat the raw spring rolls but I'm not able to eat raw veggies just yet -- too bad since otherwise it'd be a pretty healthy choice, it's like raw lettuce, cabbage, carrot, sprouts in a thin rice wrapper.
Had a birthday dinner for a family member at Red Robin and looked up the menu in advance -- had the small cup of chili and some unsweetened iced tea.
I figure there's usually some workaround at whatever restaurant you end up at. If nothing on the menu looks right, you can talk to the waiter/waitress and see if they can modify something for you.
