Keto is mainly how I roll. Breakfast this morning was a handful of wasabi almonds, a slice of sharp cheddar and two slices of Swiss. Outstanding flavors. lunch is probably going to be an omelette of some type. dinner will most likely be grilled chicken breast as my son requested grilled chicken sandwiches with bacon and the works. I have yet to experience any type of hunger. I will get carb cravings if I eat sugar heavy foods like candy and other junk. Life is simply much easier if I avoid that mess and stick to hearty Protein and vegetables.

Go for it. Keto is great. I Keto from time to time as a jump start to weight loss or to eliminate sugar cravings but often find I just don't enjoy that much fat after a week or two. I can still be in ketosis on more than 20 grams but less than 100 grams of carbs. So I find a low carb diet more sustainable. I just followed the eat protein first, then veggies and (then if I had room, which most of time I didn't) eat carbs adage and lost all of my excess weight.

@@smallbmi Keto is not like Atkins but more like Atkins induction. I doubt UK Cathy is doing any shakes on Keto as she is almost 4 years out. I only make a shake as a snack- maybe once a week if I didn't hit my protein numbers for the day- as I too am 4 years out. -
Keto and VSG definitely compliment each other well, since you have to put protein first anyway. I never did a true keto diet post-op because I am a runner and have always found it impossible to keep up intense cardio on an atkins/keto type diet. I know many other people on these forums have had success with keto post-op, so hopefully you'll get some answers and advice.

After surgery were most definitely in ketosis...now I am on to lifestyle living and trying to find the style of diet that works for me. Ketogenic is something I have come to over and over again. Then I get a delicious carb inside of me and before I know it i can't stop. Does anyone here follow keto diet? What are your results, share your experiences. Thanks!

If you search the Adkins and keto forums you will find that being cold happens with a low carb diet. -
Glad to see so many people are doing this. I was sleeved 3 weeks ago and have been enjoying eggs with cheese. Lox with cream cheese. Tuna or egg salad with mayo. I ate an avocado plain and it upset my stomach. I even did bullet proof coffee. I still do a protein shake mixed with cold cinnamon coffee, even though they don't encourage whey protein on keto. I can't choke down a protein shake by itself anymore though. I might be ruined from all the protein shakes ???? I also started walking today. I don't even think about bread or sugar really. I think I've just told myself that those are foods that don't fit into my lifestyle anymore. So far so good!

I personally don't have any tips, however, I am on a fb group page where people who post say this way of eating has helped them. Maybe google "Keto diet with Lupus" or something similar.

I told my general GP last week about how I wanted to start doing keto at some stage although I'm sort of doing it now anyway and she's so against it. My husband is keto and she wasn't impressed. Although she's a great dr she knows bugger all about what keto really is im sure. This is a dr that told me muscle weighs more then fat !!!!... ummmm hello lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

By definition my 14 day pre-op diet was keto.....simply Protein shakes. The month after was the same....just Protein Shakes. Once I transitioned to chewable food around the 5th week....it was keto. It's been mainly keto ever since. Mainly.....I break away and have other stuff when I want to....such as the Thanksgiving spread my sister cooked.....and the Christmas spread that I cooked. I splurge at times.....but I always go back to keto. Keto is King, lol.

Glad to hear some people are doing the keto diet as I wanted to do that for the last 20 pounds. I was a little concerned about that seriously high fat in it but it sounds like it's OK.
-
The true keto diet is very high fat. I want to try it to blow off the last 20 lbs but was wondering if the high fat would be a problem with the sleeve. Tried a few days and was GREAT!

Today, I am wondering what I have done to myself
Finding_Stacy replied to agirlhasnofluff's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
So, here's my newbie question of the day. I read with the ds, the passing gas and pooping can stink like something fierce. Is that the only time you stink? Does this surgery make you have a bad odor in general? Also, I'm for the Atkins diet/Keto diet where eating fat isn't a bad thing. Can you eat the fat in sour cream, cream cheese, cheese, etc, or do you have to go fat free because fat signals the dumping syndrome? And lastly, my doctor mentioned there's a pill to help with the stinkiness of the new ds bowels, has anyone tried that and has it worked? -
Sleevers show me your.......
OutsideMatchInside replied to JerseyJules's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I make keto/low carb chili, and it just has meat, seasoning and diced tomatoes. I can eat 6 ounces at a time, had some for lunch. Some asked this exact same Quest like a week or 2 ago and people, including myself, posted pictures. Search for that thread. I posted my 5.5 ounce pork chop. I can eat a whole dinner salad at most restaurants, the Protein is only 2-3 ounces and the salad greens are sliders to me so I can pretty much eat unlimited.

I was basically doing Keto the couple of weeks before surgery. Didn't really loose while getting off sugar; was up a couple of pounds at my 1 weeks pre-op. I was so bloated from the hormone dump... But my surgery went well and my liver looked amazing! (I know because they showed me pictures.) Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Bullet Proof Coffee
OutsideMatchInside replied to y0lis's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App I keep seeing people say coconut oil, but real Bulletproof coffee uses MCT Oil, not coconut oil. They are not the same thing. Bulletproof coffee requires MCT oil and unsalted grassfed butter, both are needed because both provide different things. I left a bunch of my Keto and low carb Facebook groups because I was sick of people spreading misinformation about Keto, bulletproof and just nutrition in general. @@woo woo Keep using your premier shake. -
Anyone getting sleeve but have 60lbs or less to loose?
Hammer_Down replied to Nel71's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My wife is 5'3" and was 180 at her heaviest sometime last year. She was around 175 when we started, and hopes to get down to 115-120 (we both lost a significant amount of weight 4 years ago, and that's where her weight stayed on a keto diet with regular weight lifting). Her mom has a BMI of 50, type II diabetes and some hyper tension issues, so she was concerned that the constant up and down weight struggle would ultimately lead her down that path. Her BMI was 32 starting preop, 30 the day of surgery. -
So the honeymoon is over?
OutsideMatchInside replied to OKCPirate's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@@deeveg I know that Jamie eats carbs because she runs marathons. I am sure she will answer with her macros My macros are like 60% fat, 50% Protein 10% carbs. I rarely go over 25 net carbs, so my carbs are usually really lower than 10%, more like 7%. That works for me, it might now work for everyone. It works for me because it includes things I hate. Like I would rather starve than eat Beans, or rice or Pasta. I don't like any of them. People who like things like that will have a hard time eating Keto I think. I like meat and dairy, so Keto, low carbing is perfect for me. -
6 Month Diet before the surgery prep diet
ItsTime4Change2 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So I am required by my insurance to get with my doc and go on a restrictive diet for 6 months, meeting with her once a month for weight-ins and evaluations. I am curious if anyone who went through a similar thing has a particular diet recommendation. I had some success on Adkins back 13 years ago. I was able to stick to it more than others. I went back to eating normally though and put it back on and then some. Looking at Keto or another carb restriction diet to hopefully train me to get away from that junk before and after the sleeve. Suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

I'm doing Keto to get the holiday chub off. I love it to start off a diet because it is instant gratification. I was in Ketosis within 3 days. Granted I'm losing a lot of Water weight (I'm a bloater and carbs blow me up) but I've lost 5 lbs in 5 days. Ultimately for me, I will up my carbs after the first few weeks as Keto is not my choice of a life long way of eating but a lower carb diet is. I can still lose weight with my carbs up around 75 grams as long as I am exercising. Of course in upping the carbs, I will bring down my fats. -

OutsideMatchInside replied to OKCPirate's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@@OKCPirate I'm not sure what you mean about the hormonal part in relation to scientific testing. When I have had my RMR tested it is exactly where it should be for my age height and weight, leaning to higher than normal. Most WLS patients have lower than normal RMR. The Professor and team I use for my DEXA and RMR tests have no idea I had the sleeve. They aren't with my surgery program at all. They are at a local university. They treat me and know of me just like any other person losing weight. I don't eat or plan my food as a WLS patient. I eat keto, like anyone else and have for months, which is why I think I am still losing weight with basically no effort, when most people that had surgery when I did stopped losing weight months ago. -
I did modified keto diet for the 6 months prior to surgery. I had a lot of success with it. It helped me to lose 30lbs prior to surgery.

Keto is amazing, after surgery I kept at Keto for a long time, issue with it is you have to be SUPER aware of your body and how sensitive you are to carbs. One slip up and you could slip down a slippery slope (which kinda happened to me over the Holidays just now!!) The key is tapering yourself to a comfort zone where you can tolerate little carbs. Most of the problems people complain about keto is, it's amazing to lose a LOT of weight and fast, issue is maintenance. Most people can't sustain a full fat and Protein diet forever, you will eventually want and need carbs and there in lies the problem. However, every human's body is different!
