My problem was that I could loose without a problem but could never keep it off... I'd get down to a weight I was happy with & go back to my old ways again, even with Atkins I struggled to maintain, b'coz of my pcos, insulin resistance & diabetes I'm pretty much screwed when it comes to carbs so they figured that with my dieting discipline WLS would help me maintain, even on a heavyish carb week I can maintain or lose a little still. I'm always going to have watch my carbs thats one thing that has become very apparent after wls but I'm hoping that the odd jacket potato, rice dish etc won't upset the apple cart too much.
I've already been able to up my carbs to 40-60g per day which is helping me lose at a steady 2lbs per week any less than that & I feel I'm losing too quickly (never thought I'd say that) I shall keep an eye on them as I suspect the further out I get & the closer to my target weight I shall need to perhaps reduce them again.
I ummed & ahhhed so much before my op b'coz of how well I was doing but knew in my heart of hearts that I wouldn't be able to maintain it as well as I should be able to post op.... plus its cured/reversed several ailments of mine!
Sorry waffled on a bit there. x
