Gastric Bypass diet? OK...
| Fri, 06-24-2005 - 2:15pm |
My mom recently had gastric bypass and has been on a liquid and puree diet and will be for a few months. in just over a week she has lost 10 lbs. would it be ok if I did this as well? she is only allowed 4oz at a time and has to wait 45 min between "meals", she must drink 62oz of water every day and drink at least 2 protine shakes. along with a good multi-vitamin, would this be ok for me? I walk 2 miles every day during work and go to the gym every day after work for 1-2 hours doing either an aerobics class weights and the bike or the eliptical, weights and the bike. would this still be healthy?

My initial reaction would be absolutely not!! I don't think you would get enough calories to support your exercise program for one thing. I also don't think you would get enough fiber. She has to eat that way because of the surgery and it's under carefully supervised conditions. So without a doctor's okay, I would no, don't do this!
