Hi, i too seem to be able to eat anything at 7 weeks post. This weekend was my bday weekend and i put on 2 pounds. Back on track Sunday. Are you still losing weight? If so how many calories are you doing a day?

I honestly think your Protein Shake sounds like overkill. Shoot for 60-80g Protein daily (per my RD/program), get your 64+oz liquid in. Eat lean, dense protein first, low glycemic veg second, healthy fats, plus anything else in small quantities. I also was eating somewhere between 500-700cals/day and hitting my goals. I kept carbs down to 20ish grms net--between 20-30g total.
Keto needs to be modified if you're obese. You do not need a bunch of dietary fat when you're trying to burn/utilize fat IMHO. A simple low carb approach works better for me, cuz my fat is much lower than modern day "keto definition" or the "LCHF" regimine. Psssst, I'm still in ketosis by virtue of my caloric restriction and also my carb restriction. LOL. So in "theory" you could say I'm "keto" but I don't do all the fat bomb, exogenous fat stuff right now. Maybe I will add fat once I'm trying to maintain a very low body fat weight...I would theoretically need the exogenous/dietary fat at that point.
Oh and equally important--take those vitamins! Also start walking daily.

I am almost 7 weeks out and consume 600-700 cal a day. I only have a shake if I can't get my Proteins in through food. Not sure how far along you are, but weight loss is not linear, it is more like a set of stairs. Lose a little, stop, lose, stop.
Your primary focus should be on meeting your Protein and Water goals. -

Hi, i am torn as my brain thinks if i stick to Keto then i will lose more weight, but im losing very slow and im wondering if im not eating enough. I am hiting my Water goals. I am 6 weeks post op and have lost 6 pounds in 4 weeks .
Most days I have a premier shake with added Protein Powder, 55g total for shake. 2oz chicken and 1/2 cup cauliflower rice. 2 oz ham n cheese, dinner 3oz fish and 1/2 cauliflower mash. This is what i try on a daily basis. Is this too little?

I had surgery on 8/25/18. My sleeve was outpatient. They sent me hime as soon as i woke up. I live in Florida. I was very nervous about not having a hospital stay, luckily everything went great but would have preffered an overnight for piece of mind.
