willthethrill 6 Posted May 26, 2015 Is anyone familiar with the Keto diet? Is it good or bad for bariatric sleeve surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wannaBthinsoon 1,634 Posted May 26, 2015 That's just strictly Protein, right? That sounds like how we eat with the sleeve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willthethrill 6 Posted May 26, 2015 It is a high Fat/Protein, almost like Atkins. I'm concerned about the high fat content. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wannaBthinsoon 1,634 Posted May 26, 2015 Oh...yeah the fat is kinda "out". Not a good idea. I googled the Keto diet, and while you will go through ketosis (drink lots of Water to help your liver!!) you don't eat the fat. Once you are out a ways, you can add some fat to your diet though. I will use a little real butter, or I use real mayo in my chicken salad. Stuff like that. I don't do fat free anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Lexie* 1,486 Posted June 22, 2015 A quick google search will tell you everything you need to know about this type of diet. It's very similar to what most bariatric surgeons recommend after surgery. Atkins is considered a Keto diet. It doesn't automatically equal high fat. The basics of it are meat, dairy and vegetables. 1 mybariatricjourney reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
