When at goal, what food rules do you follow?

[Jacquie Christie]

Hi guys!

I've been sitting here thinking about the various posts saying the bypasses eventually stop working etc and figured it is best to get into the good habbits I will need as soon as possible, after all we all have had bad eating habbits and I could be easy to slip back into them!


These were the ones I had in mind -

3 meals a day, no snacks

No drinks with meals

2 litres fluid per day(between meals)


What other ones can you suggest???

BypassBee,

I know exactly how you feel, but once I reach goal I just think that I will need a few really basic rules, certainly don't want to be counting calories or anything else for that matter!!

I think on the whole I try and keep it healthy, with the odd indulgance here and there... ive been a bit relaxed of late so need to get my normal head back on.. but im a newly wed, so hey, its allowed?! lol

protein first, no drinking with meals are good rules... i some times have a small drink with meals, mainly only if im out as i find food too salty.

I am wondering where all this 'bypasses eventually stop working' thing is coming from?......a bypass can't stop 'working', post-op patients are always going to have some degree of malabsorption & restriction...but you've hit the nail on the head... it's the bad habits people may slip back into that stops the tool being so effective, imho xxx
