  1. 5/25 - Went to the gym and worked out cardio. My shoulders were really killing me from the workout the day before. I did not get to see the trainer today because he does not oversea cardio days. I ended up working out for an hour and trying to keep my heart rate in cardio.

    I went home and started reading up on Ketogenic diets more. I found out that when Bariatric patients are required to do a liquid diet (low in carbs), we end up putting out body into a Ketogenic state. This allows our body to start burning fat as a energy resource. I was really intrigued and decided to do a full Ketogenic diet as an experience. I have foods that I omitted (red meats, bacon). I very barely would eat red meat prior to surgery so it was easy to omitted that option. I meal prepped enough chicken for the week. I can eat YASSO  frozen yogurt ice cream which is 100 calories and low in sugar with 5g of protein. I used to eat them for dessert twice a week. I made chicken breast, brocolli, mozzarella cheese (reduced fat). The remaining chicken breast, I am using to follow the Ketogenic Diet now. 

    5/26 - Went to my Granny's house to spend time with her. She loves seeing my progress and oh baby does she like to hear about the foods I can and cannot eat. She enjoys seeing my meal preps and just praises me for sticking to staying away from junk food.

    For breakfast: I had boiled egg whites (hate the yoke). 

    For snack: I had 7 olives and a powerade zero calorie drink.

    For Lunch: I had 4 oz of chicken breast, 1 tsp of guacamole and 1 tbsp of sour cream. 

    For snack: the remainder of my brocolli and cheese.

    For Dinner: I will have 4 oz of salmon and 1 tsp of guacamole.

    I have attached a picture below of my portion8 container. This takes me about 45 minutes to eat in it's entirety. 

    And a picture of the happiest baby I know. My little cousin.

      Good luck with the Keto. I was eating low carb for about 5 months before my surgery. It was great at lowering my bs and I did lose 20 pounds. However: my cholesterol and triglycerides went up a lot. I stopped eating red meat also. Steak is a big trigger food for me so i have to stay away from it.

      I don't blame you on the the vegan. I love my meat and cheese too much.

      @Apple1 Thank you. That is one of the things I worry about. Cholesterol mainly. I just do not want to eat soo much fat that I end up causing more damage then good. Yeah I have never really been a red meat eater. I prefer chicken and turkey.

      I eat a lot of fish, chicken, and turkey... well I used too..lol tomorrow will be my first time trying some baked salmon. I figured that would be a good meat to start with since it is so soft.
