I find the Bariatric diet and keto pretty similar. More fat typically in keto. It was my go to diet for food craving control. If I lick sugar… I can’t stop. So, it helps. As with all restrictive diets many times micronutrients are lost and need supplemented. Kinda lucky we are always testing ours to tailor replacement :). I can’t do carnivore, I just end up wanting to throw up.

Been back on the bariatric / keto train for a month now. Feeling much better already. Getting sugar out of my life has been a relief. Took me a couple weeks to get through the cravings. Once gone, they've stayed gone.

I've been craving catfish lately. Workweek was freakin' nuts......came home from 16hr day yesterday and collapsed on the bed...grateful it was the last day...woke up this morning with the sunlight beaming down through the window. I'm always up well before dawn.....not today. A pot of coffee.....over midmorning news.....superhot shower and went out to get the makings for my only meal today. Keto catfish. Ran the fillets through and egg bath and then rolled them around in almond flour. Fried in avocado oil. Just prior to picking up a fork I dosed them with hot sauce. Not bad. Did not toss into the trash, lol. Took 30 mins but I knocked off 2/3 of the fish and 1/2 the steamed vegetables. Tonight's lunch/dinner was fried catfish.....keto friendly version. Egg wash then a roll in some seasoned almond flour. Fried in avocado oil. -
I resumed keto last month. i really needed iron and have been able to cut back on iron supplements somewhat as a result of now getting more through my diet. Sticking to meats, chicken , fish accompanied with an assortment of high fiber-low sugar vegetables. Small amounts of cheese and very seldom nuts….as both are more calorie dense than I want at present time.

Well stated. Had mine 9 years ago in my mid-40s. Looking forward to where I will be on the 10th year mark. Wish I'd done so years prior....wish I'd adhered to the suggested way of eating as I did the first five years. Now, I'm powering through the burning off of the regain and hopefully going to a new all time lowest BMI. The sleeve is still there and providing restriction. Keto has really helped get things headed in great directions.

Dropping into ketogenesis you will go through a “keto flu” which is different for everyone, but sweats, nausea, body aches/muscle aches, fatigue and headache are common for those. It often hits between day 3-7, but everyone is different. Salt here helps. Dig out your electrolyte drinks, your salty broth, etc. with the coffee drinking you’re just adding insult to injury, losing a lot of water that way. Though withdrawal is a jerk.

NHS Tier 4 Pre-Op Question
Bari_Hopeful replied to Bari_Hopeful's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Did you have any psychological input during your Tier 3? (I don’t know if you had to go through Tier 3?) I had about 4 sessions with an NHS bariatric psychologist, but I believe I’ll still be having a Tier 4 psychological consultation to sign me off 🤞 for the MDT. Also, two weeks post-approval for the LRD! That is AWESOME! I think my trust tends to do the two-week milk diet. Even though I currently eat fairly low calorie keto, I think the milk diet would help lose a bit of pre-surgery weight at least. 💗 -
What’s for dinner? The non cooks version.
TiredAngel replied to ShoppGirl's topic in Food and Nutrition
I was a big keto fan, so my recipie a may be a little higher in fat. My go to pancake: spray a bowl with cooking spray, cut a cream cheese block 1-2 oz off and drop into a cup, microwave bowl for 15 seconds. Crack an egg or two into the bowl and smash the warmed creamcheese into the egg super well. Heat for 1 min (if center is firm, if not add 30 sec till firm). Takes me 2 min per pancake. I too with sugar free syrup, 5 blueberries and chopped pecans and cinnamon. I have tried all the different measurements (1 egg, 2, cream cheese 1-2 etc they all work it’s just preference. I do 1/1 ratio). -
Regain is easy, but it can be totally controlled with the right mindset. It’s been 15 years since I had gastric sleeve surgery done lost 100 pounds within eight months and stayed there for a good while I would go up and down 15 to 20 pounds every couple years the only thing that ever works for me is low-carb or keto so that’s what I do. I jump back on the bandwagon. Make sure I Watched my snacking and sliders as everybody knows what those are and get it off this last year I did a GLP one and lost the final 30 pounds below my original goal. I’m happier than I’ve ever been. I’m 71 years old going strong travel often enjoy life the best thing I’ve ever done healthwise and just Let’s be honest good for your pride you can do it. It’s just a tool and we have to work it. Go team go.

I think I used the wrong sweetener and it was a bit too dry which is hilarious because keto recipes usually love butter and this one doesn’t require any. -
What do you put in your coffee?
TiredAngel replied to kla7403's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I drink my coffee hot, I drop a cinnamon stick in (which I chew on sometimes) and top it with keto sugar free whipped cream. A sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice on top or cocoa powder does a lot with the sent joy I get while drinking. That is my 2 sec go to. Sometimes a drop some sugar free syrup in my iced coffee (I like torani the best) and go with that and ice. Sometimes a protein shake as a mix in. Sometimes I foam up some heavy whipping cream with or without my protein powder or a dash of sugar free jello, matcha powder or even cocoa powder. Heck, I’ve even made sugar free boba using unflavored gelatin and avocado oil to drop in my cold brew. I always drop in the milk foam/cream/protein shake base then drip the hot coffee over it so it doesn’t get bitter. Coffee is my jam. Decaf or not :) I’ve never been a fan of the coconut oil coffee fat bombs. -
Your surgeon (or their team) should provide you with a list of the liquids you can consume during the pre surgery stage. If they haven’t yet, ask for a list so you can start to prepare. There are variations between surgeons as to what you can and can’t have at this stage. For example some are three meals of protein shakes a day & that’s all. Others are four shakes. Some are two shakes plus one meal of a lean protein & vegetables. Some are not shakes but milk. Mine was keto. So you can see we can’t really tell you what your surgeon may require for this diet or require specifically for you ( your current weight, pre existing health concerns, etc.) But as a help, start weaning yourself off caffeine, carbs and sugars now because when you start the pre surgical diet the withdrawals from those foods can be pretty tough (headaches, lethargy, irritability, poor concentration, etc.) It usually passes after five or so days but that first week wasn’t called hell week for nothing by my surgeon’s patients. All the best.

Guess who decided to cook and it was a total fail 🤣 Tarta De Santiago (keto version) 4 eggs 2⁄3 cup (5 oz.) erythritol lemon zest or flavor 2 cups almond flour 2 tbsp powdered erythritol for decorating Either I’m just not used to erythritol anymore or i just never liked it. Next time I will try a different sweetener. -
Is anybody here familiar with the Carnivore Diet? It's basically a more restrictive form of Keto where you ONLY eat meat, cheese, fat, and butter. The more meat the better. The fattier the meat the better. It sounds counterintuitive to eat this type of diet, but there are several doctors out there who recommend it to help reverse diabetes and fight inflammation. While it's impossible to have zero carbs, the goal is to have as few as possible, less than 10 per day, and consume no bread, fruit, vegetables or anything other than "meat." Now, I must say that I had/have my doubts about the healthiness of this diet. That being said, my husband has been on it for 4 months and lost 35 pounds and his A1C and morning fasting glucose levels are now within normal range. He is going to continue on the diet, or as he calls it, "way of life." I did it with him for 3 months and I lost 20 pounds, but toward the end I was having a lot of diarrhea and my body couldn't handle/process all of the protein and fat without some carbs, so I switched to a new diet in mid-December. Dr. Ken Berry is the person my husband follows on YouTube who explains the science behind it and how to do it. He also said that 1/3 of people can't do it because of their particular body's need for carbs for proper digestion. Anyway, I was curious if anybody here was familiar with the Carnivore Diet or had tried it or was doing it?

Hi there! I’m Kelly I’m 42 and in January I made the decision to pull the trigger on bariatric surgery. I have been battling my weight my entire adult life. Things started getting really out of control when I was a junior in high school and my mom was diagnosed with cancer. At her behest, I joined Weight Watches when I was 20 years old and I have been a member off and on with mixed results ever since. I managed to lose weight easily after having my first two children but between my second and third child I had a miscarriage, gained 15 pounds and it’s been downhill since. My third child is 11 years old and I still haven’t lost the baby weight despite trying weight watchers, 21 day fix, keto during the keto craze. In 2023 I saw a doctor to inquire about trying at GLP-1 at pretty much exactly the same time as the shortages began. Between shortages and having a doctor tell me that I could never take a GLP-1 because of my mom’s cancer I spent about 6 months researching and trying to get on. GLP-1. I managed to join a telehealth company that fall and I was able to get my hands on prescription and box of Saxenda to hold me over until seeing my new PCP. I did pretty good on Saxenda and my new PCP was able to transition me to Wegovy. I managed to lose almost 35 pounds with Saxenda and Wegovy. Unfortunately, my insurance did away with coverage for all weight loss meds starting January 1 of this year. So I made myself an appointment for myself with a bariatric surgeon. I’ve already accomplished my sleep study, an abdominal ultrasound, an upper GI, and 4 of my 12 ‘lifestyle classes’. My surgeon originally suggested a sleeve for me, but after my scope I think it’s going to be a RnY because despite me thinking I did not have reflux, I had grade B esophagitis. I’m kind of kicking myself, that I didn’t start persuing this when I was messing around trying to get a GLP-1, but hindsight, you? Anyways, I’m happy to be here and happy to get ready to start my new life.

I wish I looked this cool holding an ice cream!! P.S. You don’t look a day over 30. Regarding the keto ice cream, unfortunately that’s all I had in my freezer and it is definitely not my first choice. But it was good nonetheless, I’ve had two tubs of it sitting in my freezer for way too long. -
@Mspretty86 girl good for you!!! I tried to do that but I became too lethargic and cranky! hahaha I wake up at 4am make myself coffee, unsweetened almond milk and a couple of pumps of sugar free sweetener. I also make myself keto toast with Nuttzo butter ,half a banana sprinkled with cinnamon. It starts my day and I know I eat more calories than the average sleeve person (1800-2000 a day) but hey I got to where I am at doing this. Have you found that fasting helped in other ways?

No keto ice cream for me either, I think I have an allergy to monk fruit and the one brand I like made my mouth itchy. Also it seem to like unpopular or ice cream flavors of bygone eras: mint chocolate chip (but it must be mint flavored vanilla, not green), rum raisin and custom ice cream shop flavors of lemon poppy seed and lavender honey (which I was told was the most requested by their octogenarians patrons). -

Was craving a fall comfort bake, and happened to come across some giant chinese Fuji apples at the grocery store and picked up one. Made some “healthier” apple crumble that I topped with keto ice cream and it turned out sooooo good. The hubby and I shared this but he ate more than me. I still have quite a bit of the apple filling left, might make this again tomorrow or make some pancakes with stewed apples on top. -
It took literally forever, but I finally did it!!!
ShoppGirl replied to SleeveToBypass2023's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What are you eating that has so much fiber? I do a soluble fiber in the morning but I don’t seem to get much from my diet. I eat a lot of veggies but mine is still fairly low. The only days I have a lot is when I do low carb stuff like a keto wrap or when I have chili. -
Soooooo healthy fats, always have been scared of peanut butter but omgsh I found this nut butter called Nuttzo and its AMAZING!!! I made PB balls with Nuttzo, pure maple syrup, unsweetened shredded coconut and rolled oats. let me tell you these things are the most amazing snack (usually post workout for me. Anyone else have any other recipes they like with nut butter they want to share? I have been eating it 2x a day. In the morning with my keto bread only tsp and half a banana, but I would like to find other stuff to do with it. Thanks!
