Processed foods are often high in simple, refined carbohydrates. Think cakes, pies, cookies, breakfast bars, donuts, ice cream, fruit drinks and soft drinks. Even if you are avoiding simple sugars (as you should be after weight loss surgery), refined carbs are often found in muffins, breads, cereals and pasta. These can cause quick spikes and drops in blood sugar levels.
