Hi all!
I got great guidance from the Drs in Mexico on the first 30 days post op, but as I enter day 31, And I can stomach meat now. I'm hearing and reading different messages.
So, I get the no carbs and that is consistent. But here is where I got lost. I've read and watched, keep calories under 1200 a day and eat low fat proteins. But, what I crave is fats of all kinds. Salad dressing, Mayo, fatty meats, sauces, olives, and any other type of savory fats.
Like today, I had 1/2 a hamburger and but I must of had 3 or 4 table spoons of ranch dressing and creamy hot sauce on it. Should I not be doing the sauce thing during the weight loss phase? That is 300 or 400 calories right there. I want to maximize my weight lost stage, should I be avoiding extra fats.
Also, there seems to be consistency that do NOT eat and drink at the same time, but if I eat slowly, I don't seem to have this problem. For example, yesterday, I had 12 oz of ice tea while I had two pouched eggs and two slices of smoked salmon over about 45 min.
Thanks for your help.
