Keto

[Laughkc11 107]

Anyone start eating Keto right out of the gate? Like as soon as you were off of soft foods, etc? I'm still a few weeks away from the normal diet phase, but I'm not thrilled about the idea of living off of sugar-free/fat-free products. I'm a bit concerned that I won't be able to tolerate the fats associated with keto, so I'm curious what others' experiences have been.

That is exactly what I did. I found that the only thing that I had problems with the fat in sausage. Otherwise I was golden.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback. Were you eventually able to tolerate sausage? Or do you find that you still have that problem?

In a few days I will be off soft foods and be able to eat more solids. I want to do this.

It is hit and miss at this point. If I do straight sausage then 70% of the time I'm just fine. eggs and sausage mixed I'm good 95%.

First time I heard about the Keto diet was a year after surgery. I liked that it burns fat instead of using carbohydrates for energy. I eat avocados, real butter, and eggs.

Pork sausage is also hard for me. I still eat turkey sausage.

I'm having sausage and eggs for Breakfast this morning. I personally am not a huge fan of turkey sausage unless it is wild turkey. I will agree that I think that the pork fat is what causes the issue with sausage. Pork fat mixes in well with game meats and I had a problem with bear sausage that was made with pork fat.

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.

I started about 2 weeks after surgery and I was sleeved November 7th I'm just shy of having lost 40 lbs. there are a ton of fantastic recipes that fit the bill.

I ran across an entire forum on this topic when I typed in Atkins in the search bar.

I am. Even in purée. Not high fat necessarily but I'm not limiting them either. I started 3 months pre op and find I feel so much better and I'm losing great.

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.< /p>

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.
