Potassium is one of the nutrients gastric bypass patients tend to be deficient. In fact many weight loss surgery patients supplement their diet with potassium.

There are many foods rich in potassium which are well tolerated by most weight loss surgery patients. Foods such as apricots, butternut squash, grapefruit, salmon, halibut and chicken are all potassium powerhouses. By incorporating these foods in our meals after gastric bypass we benefit from flavor, variety and healthful nutrients and perhaps stave-off some of the food boredom we all complain about. In addition, we know WLS patients are at risk of potassium deficiency so why not get some the old fashioned way - delicious home cooked food.

This is an outstanding recipe for the whole family. The flavors are fresh and intense and the nutritional value is terrific with about 30% daily value potassium in one normal serving. Always remember, eat just until full and save the rest for lunch the next day.

This tip is not conventional, but it is guaranteed to help you
follow any diet that you choose…

Follow your diet religiously for six days a week and then on the
seventh day forget about your diet and have a free day.

This may sound unusual advice, but there is a logic here you
need to consider and its psychological impact on your state of
mind.

If you overeat once a week you remove the one reason many diets
fail, which is when choice is removed from you of a food you
want it even more.

Say you love Burger King, spaghetti, chocolate or whatever and
you told you cant have them for 12 weeks or whatever period your
diet is set for.

Guess what? You crave them even more!

By allowing yourself one free day you can say: I will stick with
the diet and I can still have my favourites i.e I have a choice.

So wont this ruin all the good work of your diet?

No it won’t, and there are three reasons why:

Firstly, you will have been eating sensibly on the other six
days and one day won’t make much difference.

Secondly, by overeating and having treats you will perhaps
realise that that your body has adjusted to better eating habits.

This day may not be the pleasure you thought i.e. when every day
was a free day, or you don’t actually want to eat as much as you
thought before you came to your free day.

Thirdly, it gives a choice, we all like to make autonomous
decisions and by giving us choices we are more likely to stay
with the diet we have chosen.

Don’t set yourself up for failure give yourself some breathing
space.

To gain weight you have to eat a lot

Consider this gaining weight is a long term process and you
won’t undo the good you have done on the other six days on your
free day.

What you will do is give yourself the choice and make sticking
with a diet less onerous.

No one wants to be told they can’t have the odd treat now and
again, the free day gives you this and helps you stick with
sensible eating longer term.

You can do your free day on any day you like in the week.

If you have tried to diet and find you can’t stick with a rigid
program give yourself some freedom and some choice and we all
like that!
