Many patients who have had weight loss surgery can still healthfully eat a plant-based diet.

Dr. Garth Davis, a bariatric surgery specialist from Houston Methodist, joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll with insight on how a plant-based diet and lifestyle chance can increase the chances of patients maintaining dramatic weight loss long term.

Chuck has used the surgery in conjunction with a healthier diet and lifestyle to maintain a nearly 300-pound weight loss for well over 10 years.

Topics Discussed

- Protein after weight loss surgery

- Fiber, gas, and bloating

- Nutrient absorption and supplements

- Obtaining nutrients from food with less emphasis on supplements

- What supplements WLS patients may still need

- Cognitive behavioral therapy for long-term success

- Is abstinence necessary from ultraprocessed and junk food?

- And more!
