PRE -PRE surgery weight loss...recipes?



Recommended Posts

Hello,

Newbie Terri here. Saw my surgeon Wednesday, almost there! He wants me to lose 10-15 pounds pre-surgery. I then saw his nutritionist yesterday and she gave me a Keto food plan to assist in this weight loss. I dont have a surgery date so this isnt a pre-surgery plan...there's too many non-clear liquidy things on the list...LOL

I've had some success on the Atkins plan but this looks a little different since I am allowed coffee, nuts, seeds, Protein Shakes and 1 serving of fruit a day.

Does anyone have any good keto recipes or direct me to a good bariatric keto blog?

I don't know what I don't know so please help me :) thank you

Pinterest is a magical place for recipes. Personally I would start there.
Good luck!

My husband told me I am over reading about the surgery. [emoji849] However, I feel like all of the information and stories are helping me to go into this with realistic expectations.

Im just trying to soak in all of the good, positive wisdom on this site. There are a few posts that Ive got caught up in reading that has the typical Downer Debbie's but that usually gets shut down pretty quickly!

Lots of really helpful 'losers' here :) I love that they're sharing lessons learned so I can be a little calmer when surgery day is finally here.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
