Hi all! I just wanted to share this huge accomplishment! I am almost 7 weeks post op and down 31 pounds! Which means I finally hit ONEderland! I was hoping to get there by the end of the year thanks to my last stall. But O started IF of 16:8 and the stall broke! The weight just fell off like crazy... thank goodness! Let me tell you, between hitting this huge goal (for me), and finishing my Christmas shopping, I'm really in the spirit and looking forward to a great Christmas!

I’m just not real hungry some says. I also had the long stall and had an issue with BMs. I have to work on getting 80+ oz of Water a day and that made everything so much better. My stall broke & I felt so much better.

Bought myself a new Fitbit to Celebrate making it a month after surgery. Helps that it was on sale at costco. :)

OMG! OMG! OMG!

I’m sorry you’re going through this! I’ll keep my fingers crossed you don’t have to go back to the ED!

The pouch can be temp sensitive I have learned! Mine likes hot and cold. Anything room temp or lukewarm makes me extremely nauseous all over again. Good luck! I use to lay with a fan on my face because for me the cool helped. You got this! It does get better

I second this! I had really extreme nausea and chewing on ice got me through the first few days when nothing else would stay down. After I had a cup of ice or so is when I would get my meds down or attempt my Premier Protein with added Protein Powder. The ice helped with numbing my stomach and so it didn't reject the Protein in small doses. Plus it helped with the cravings to eat. My brain just wanted to chew.

True Keto is very high fat (like >70 grams), moderate carb (30-45 grams) and very low carb (<20) a day. I am 4 years out and have been Keto for a while. My surgeon and docs are all for it, I used this to conquer some regain and also to resolve a health issue.
It is quite different from a 'bariatric' diet. I don't drink milk or eat yogurt anymore, I follow the rules of keto, I eat my macros calculated out for me. They change as my weight goes down. I also incorporate Intermittent Fasting which also has made a huge difference. I will probably eat this way forever. There are tons of resources out there, especially on youtube and there are substitutes for EVERYTHING, but I try to stick to a very basic food list.
