Ketogenic Cooking

Can anyone tell me if they follow a ketogenic diet after gastric bypass surgery once they were healed and doing well or maybe even after they had hit their goal?

I try to stay low-carb, but I'm definitely not that low carb. My carbs come from vegetables and very occasionally whole grains.

I eat in a way that I can feel full and not like I'm missing out. Otherwise, it wouldn't be sustainable for me.

I have reached normal BMI, but I'm still 10 pounds away from my personal goal. Truth be told, though, I wear a size 4 now...I could be satisfied if I stay here for life.

I'm doing it now, 11 weeks post surgery, but I just started. Having a hard time getting all the fats in, but I'm definitely not feeling hungry. Today I ate a whole avocado with an egg and a teaspoon of full fat mayo just to get the fats up and still didn't reach my fat goal. I'm reading more about the diet on Reddit. Have been using ketosticks for a couple of weeks and am usually in ketosis.

Have you had any trouble with the higher fat content making you feel sick? I am just wondering if it is a good diet to try to follow since it is low carb. I know starting out for weeks I need to follow my post-op liquid/puree diet, but am wanting to research for when I am all healed and feeling good. Thanks for any advice that you may have, @hermione53 and @Vinasu!

Fat and  Protein fill me up! I can eat maybe 3 ounces of Protein. I try and eat more balanced and sometimes need the carbs to keep my digestion moving and give me energy. It's just remembering not to eat too much of them cause carbs I can eat no problem.  Proteins have to be careful cause if eat quickly or too much will vomit.
