Okay, so I was doing keto. I went to see my dietitian and she advised me to stop keto and to eat balanced meals with veggies, protein and a starch. Well, I've started doing that. Been tracking my calories and I stay under 1400. The past 2 days, I've had about 120 carbs a day. Now my ankles are swollen and I'm bloated and just feel ewww. Well I want to learn to eat healthy so I can carry that on after surgery. My question is, is keto okay to do after surgery? Or even low carb?

@kitty1392 wow, that's great! I'm hoping I will have similar results and get off my meds.

@kakatlady612 I am 24. I have type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, polycystic ovarian syndrome and I get chronic yeast infections. I'm down to 310 from 362, but have been yoyo'ing back and forth from 330 to 310. It's like I can't lose more than that and I can't gain more than that. It's frustrating. I'm tired of being unhealthy. So yes, let's do this together 🙂 we got this. No more putting it off. This is our year to be healthy and happy!!!

@Creekimp13 thank you for that. I can't help not being scared, but I'm not gonna let it stop me this time. I know I need this to help me. And wow, 20 years ago is a long time. But better late than never, right? 🙂

@James Marusek thank you for the advice. Only thing I need to work on is the walking more. I already have tons of pictures of me now and I haven't had a soda in almost a year, so I'm good there.

Hi all, So, I am somewhat new here. I haven't made any posts or anything, but I've had my profile since 2015. I've been 3 times to the Dr about getting the sleeve and I have backed out each time. I recently went on the 19th to see about getting the sleeve, again. Dr wants me to lose 25 pounds or more if I can. I go back Match 23rd. So, I'm hoping I will have lost it all or at least half by that time. I just figure if I am gonna get it, I might as well just go through with it now and quit chickening out. I feel I need the extra help the sleeve will give me to be successful with losing the weight and keeping it off. I'm just worried that I'll back out again. I'm scared of having surgery. The thought of me not waking up horrifies me. And then, thinking that I'll fail scares me pretty badly too. But I know I need this. No more backing out. Sometime this year, I will have my sleeve. 🙂
