I know the way we eat is practically paleo anyways but wondering if anyone's tried it post op. What I'm most interested in finding out is if you tried it did you track calories? And did you have success? My friend lost 50 pounds on paleo and swears she didn't track calories, I guess because people generally don't overeat meat fruit and veggies. I am at my surgeons goal but 7 pounds from my personal goal. So I'm thinking of shaking it up.

I like a lot of the tenets of paleo (well, primal because I'm not giving up dairy) and use many of the various paleo blogs for recipes, but I wouldn't say I'm ever going to go totally paleo. I do think that a lot of the recipes fit very well with a post-surgery eating plan.

I have not lost weight on Paleo (I am pre-surgery) but for once in my adult life, my cholesterol levels are good. The post surgery diet doesn't scare me because I am already eating very close to that.

I think I would have a hard time giving up dairy and legumes. cheese, Greek yogurt, skim milk, edamame, soy, whey, and peanuts are such staple Proteins for me.

I know. I eat chili several times a week. The no dairy thing might be a deal breaker. I might lean more toward primal.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
