Can I use Medifast if I have had gastric bypass surgery?
We have had many individuals use Medifast prior to and after having gastric bypass surgery. Your meal plan should be adjusted based on when your surgery was completed. Medifast Meals are portion controlled, high protein, low carbohydrate and fortified with vitamins and minerals. Medifast recommends (as with any weight loss program) that you consult with your doctor prior to and throughout the weight loss process. Your physician may want to monitor your labs and medications, or may suggest a different calorie level than our standard 5 & 1 Plan. We will be happy to work with you and/or your physician to help meet your needs.
