 Hey all, I just found this guide online which had a lot of good detailed information presented in an easy to read way. It looks like it comes from Dr. Cirangle's office so some might already be familiar. Also within this guide was a list called the 10 Weight Loss Comandments.,,
  THE 10 WEIGHT LOSS COMMANDMENTS  • Thou shall exercise 5 times per week for 40-45 minutes.  • Thou shall not covet the carbohydrate. • Thou shall not eat more than 3 meals per day and shall not have unhealthy snacks between meals. • Thou shall drink at least 8 glasses of water each day. • Thou shall eat a minimum of 70 grams of protein each day. • Thou shall honor thy commitment to good health and healthy choices. • Thou shall keep follow-up appointments with thy doctor. • Thou shall always take thy vitamins. • Thou shall not weigh thyself more than once-a-week. • Thou shall always keep the memory of the past and the hope of the future as a clear image in thy mind

I feel like printing this out and posting this on my fridge. 
Anyway here is the guide... enjoy :)

PERFECT! Thanks for posting. I will print and post on my fridge and bath mirror.  I love the coveting carbs one!

I'll send the guide to my surgeon. I think this guide is more detailed than most.

 Yes it was definitely much more detailed than the 1 my surgeon gave me. Although I got a lot of information from my nut. it is helpful to see it all written down and diagrammed. Everyone's surgeon recommends different things but I felt that this guide very closely fit what my surgeon's guidelines are and is from a very reliable source.
