IF meaning intermittent fasting? At a month out it may be a bit soon to be doing that given you are already on a fairly low calorie base, as well as finding it difficult to get your daily food consumption in a reduced time frame (given the reduced stomach volume). Did your surgeon / dietician give you the go head for IF?

Given your weight has stalled a bit in the first four weeks you have lost a good amount of weight already.

I agree. At this point, you should be following your clinic's plan. There are WLS patients who do follow Keto, but they're quite a ways out from surgery.

stalls are a very normal part of a weight loss journey. If you stick to your eating plan, they WILL break.

Agreed, with the caveat that some clinics' prescribed plan IS low-carb. My surgeon's plan is one of those - not quite low enough to be keto but definitely on the lower end of the spectrum. It stayed that way during weight loss and gradually introduced higher carbs as maintenance approached.

OP, IF this early does seem like overkill, given how little most of us can eat when we're just a month out. Maybe save IF for later when your weight loss has slowed down? Just a thought.

Thanks, but so far am doing okay and my body had adjusted for the IF.. i will have a day of IF off day in a week.

Numbers is going down and i feel healthier.

Thanks for your concern and care
