Does anyone do keto? I find that it really works for me, but the dietition said they do not recommend keto. I'd like to give it a try after I go through all of the post-op phases of the diet. Any experiences will be greatly appreciated.

i do low carb 50g or less daily but i don't do keto because the protein level is to restrictive for my taste.

if you can meet your marco's and get your micro nutrients from those levels i don't see a problem.

surgeons don't like anything that is not down the middle good for all cause they don't have time for one on one care so all the programs are designed to fit the avg. and cause the least problems.

track carefully and get regular blood panels and be prepared to stop if any issues come up in your blood work.

good luck and enjoy

The problem with keto as it was explained to my by my physician was the fact mpact on the liver can be bad and cause damage. So while you can adopt much of the keto principals going full keto was a going to be a problem if it was done for an extended period of time. It also worked for me in years pre op period but so did the diet that my dietitian had me on at the end.

I’m not doing a full keto diet, but do have a focus on almost exclusively lean protein, which has worked really well. Adding in carbs now that I’m 6 months out and that has almost doubled my caloric intake (you can eat a lot more carbs).
