It would be, but I am only 6 weeks post op. I am eating 3 meals a day, spaced out at least 5 hours apart. I have done it a couple of times since surgery, but it's not something I would do on a regular basis until I am much further out from surgery.

You are six weeks in to this and never experienced a regain? or are you a revision?

Nope.... weight loss is weight loss. A sleeve is just a great tool to help you along your journey--but it's just a tool. The science behind good nutritional habits applies to everyone regardless of where you are along your journey. As I said, I am not able to do intermittent fasting or even follow a true therapeutic Keto diet because I am only 6 weeks post-op, but if I were 5 years post op and experienced modest weight regain like OP, I would be following a true therapeutic keto diet with intermittent fasting. At that point, if you can consume enough calories to experience weight regain, you can consume enough calories to do keto right and incorporate IF. The science behind keto is there--it's just a matter of whether it's something the OP can comfortably follow.

I beg to differ. If you put two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar (with the mother) [the real thing, not some premixed drink) into 8oz of Water, add a teaspoon of lemon juice, some sea salt and a little cinnamon--then drink it all--you will feel those hunger pangs subside immediately. Also, ACV is great for controlling insulin responses and blood insulin levels (not just blood glucose levels). There are plenty of studies on this on the NPI. Problem, apple cider vinegar isn't very tasty--so, you have to take it like it's medicine. Give it a shot and see if it doesn't make a difference.

Hm, interesting. Have you personally tried it? Simply curious. I have nothing against wanting to try it, that is just what I personally had read on it, so I never really gave it another thought. I am all for anything helping with that hunger pang, as long as it is healthy/not harmful.
