A member asked:
Is there a diet that i can go on to shrink my gastric bypass pouch back down to the size that it was. have lost over 200+ want to go another 50 lbs. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Diet alone will not shrink the pouch. However, limiting your portion sizes should help. Be sure you are limiting high fat foods and carbohydrates. Most people eat too much of these. If you limit them you should lose weight. Also, are you exercising? If you walk daily it should help with weight loss. Be sure to talk with your doctor about a good goal weight. Good luck!
