Laughkc11 107 Posted December 26, 2016 Anyone start eating Keto right out of the gate? Like as soon as you were off of soft foods, etc? I'm still a few weeks away from the normal diet phase, but I'm not thrilled about the idea of living off of sugar-free/fat-free products. I'm a bit concerned that I won't be able to tolerate the fats associated with keto, so I'm curious what others' experiences have been. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
highfunctioningfatman 2,675 Posted December 26, 2016 That is exactly what I did. I found that the only thing that I had problems with the fat in sausage. Otherwise I was golden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Were you eventually able to tolerate sausage? Or do you find that you still have that problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Awesome, thanks for the feedback. Were you eventually able to tolerate sausage? Or do you find that you still have that problem? It is hit and miss at this point. If I do straight sausage then 70% of the time I'm just fine. eggs and sausage mixed I'm good 95%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Healthy_life2 8,324 Posted December 26, 2016 @@Laughkc11 First time I heard about the Keto diet was a year after surgery. I liked that it burns fat instead of using carbohydrates for energy. I eat avocados, real butter, and eggs. Pork sausage is also hard for me. I still eat turkey sausage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
highfunctioningfatman 2,675 Posted December 26, 2016 I'm having sausage and eggs for Breakfast this morning. I personally am not a huge fan of turkey sausage unless it is wild turkey. I will agree that I think that the pork fat is what causes the issue with sausage. Pork fat mixes in well with game meats and I had a problem with bear sausage that was made with pork fat.

itstimealready 180 Posted January 9, 2017 Glad to hear some people are doing the Keto diet as I wanted to do that for the last 20 pounds. I was a little concerned about that seriously high fat in it but it sounds like it's OK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ddkVSG 32 Posted January 10, 2017 I am. Even in purée. Not high fat necessarily but I'm not limiting them either. I started 3 months pre op and find I feel so much better and I'm losing great. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dub 9,922 Posted January 10, 2017 By definition my 14 day pre-op diet was keto.....simply Protein shakes. The month after was the same....just Protein Shakes. Once I transitioned to chewable food around the 5th week....it was Keto.< /p> It's been mainly keto ever since. Mainly.....I break away and have other stuff when I want to....such as the Thanksgiving spread my sister cooked.....and the Christmas spread that I cooked. I splurge at times.....but I always go back to keto. Keto is King, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
