    I was dead set on doing Keto after surgery and my surgeon and nutritionist are not totally supportive. They both explained that our bodies do not absorb the nutrients in food the same after surgery and because we take in smaller portions we do not want to exclude healthy food groups. They believe a well balanced diet is a healthier option. But of course number 1 rule eat Protein first.

    Me personally I believe whatever works for you and makes you happy healthy and successful on your journey is what is right for you.

    I have been living on both sides of the border for 8 years and get all my healthcare in Mex.
    I had my sleeve done in Mexicali by Dr Juan Francisco Arellano. I am receiving excellent care by Dr Arellano and his team. I had my sleeve done on 12/20/17 after care up to one year is completely covered in the cost of the surgery. I am able to reach the surgeon directly if needed 24/7. Dr Arellano is very dedicated to the success of each patient.

    Surgery was on 12/20 started liquids 2 days before that and been on them ever since. I strayed once and had an once of tuna because I could not take it anymore.
    I am so sick of shakes I pretty much stopped drinking them and just living on Water air and sunshine...lol
    I am down 48lbs...31 since surgery...so trying to stay focused and motivated.

    Sorry, wasn't trying to be snippy. Old habits from forum arguments in the past...lol. Used to get into it with people that would just post a random link as proof. It's frustrating sifting through all the info out there. In the end we have to just figure out what works for us individually.

    Cheers!

    The article states exactly what you are saying it is a suppressant but by being a suppressant and causing you to skip a meal or burn off an enormous amount of energy in the end it could have the opposite effect because your body is now in starvation mode.

    No problem and thank you. I think I should have been more descriptive in my first post.

    That's why I added that for some it may have the opposite effect. My point is that the general consensus is that it acts as a suppressant. As with virtually any medical subject we can trade hyperlinks all day long where one contradicts the other. Something from the mayo Clinic holds more Water than a random blog.



    I was not debating just adding information to the thread. Have a good day!

    Yes, mine was:
    Days 1 and 2 (day 1 was surgery day) - clear liquids
    Days 3-14 - full liquids
    Days 15 and 16 - pureed foods
    Days 17-28 - very soft foods
    Days 29-42 - soft foods
    Days 43+ - general diet
    I'm considering starting soft foods this weekend (should start on Wednesday the 17th) bc I've tolerated else I've tried and I'm starving eating only very soft foods.



    I had my surgery on 12/20 Clear Liquids the first 14 days and than full liquids for 28 days...she said next appt 1/31 she will see about adding pureed.
    I tried 2 oz of tuna 21 days out and had no issues but she was not happy.

    I have no energy and getting frustrated.
