I avoided fats, healthy fats from my diet like avocado, walnuts, cold pressed virgin olive oil. I have cut the carbs, sugars and dairy from my life except those found naturally in low glycemic fruits and veggies and added minimal healthy fats and higher protein foods (salmon) to my diet plan. I really am not experiencing the weight loss I anticipated, however I have lost 3 inched from my waist…I am also exercising 3 – 4 times weekly….Could this lack of weight loss be related to my having a gastric bypass RNY in 2006? I have been on this food plan 2 weeks and feel great!

Gastric Bypass and Fat absorption?

This is awesome. Keep it up. Losing waist inches is much more important than losing pounds. Muscle also weighs 2.2 times fat.

I’m so glad you’re feeling great! Gastric bypass surgery can often result in a lower absorption of nutrients due to the decrease in surface area of the stomach, and reduction in gastric secretions. Thus, it is extremely important that you establish (if you haven’t already) a regular high quality multivitamin and probiotic regimen to make sure you have as healthy a gut as possible to allow for more optimal nutrient absorption. This can help with weight loss and management considerably. If you haven’t gotten all the “Know Your Numbers” lab work, I would encourage you to do so as this will offer a good starting point for understanding what supplements might be most advantageous to you.
Thanks Zoe…I have completed the Know Your Numbers labs and have spoken to Dr. Filidei…My numbers were relatively good, T3 low side, Adrenals need improvement was suggested by the Dr. Filidei to take DHEA 25mg and to increase my D3 to 5000, was taking 2000 per day but numbers were low. Also, I have an appointment with Dr. DeNise on June 29th in NY to discuss my results and recommendations for thyroid and adrenals.
