Whole foods: Simple sugars and processed carbs should be avoided or limited. This includes any flour product. The fine grind makes absorption quick, and spikes your blood sugar which increases Insulin and promotes weight gain. Good fats such as olive oil and coconut oil are fine in sensible amounts. Eat a rainbow of organic vegetables and 3-4 oz protein with each meal 5 hours apart.

Healthy diet: Based on your height and weight and activity level. You need to ask a nutritionist or your family doctor to tell you how many calories you need per day and find a healthy diet based on your individual needs. It also depends if you have any health issues such as diabetes or are overweight and want to lose some. If you exercise or have a physical job, you will need to adjust and eat a bit more.

Healthy Lifestyle.: Congratulations on having had these procedures performed; you are correct in that the best results are seen when patients pay careful attention to their diet and exercise “program” after surgery as well. A well-balanced diet with a regular exercise program ( varies from one person to another) is key.
