PRE -PRE surgery weight loss...recipes?



Recommended Posts

Hello,

Newbie Terri here. Saw my surgeon Wednesday, almost there! He wants me to lose 10-15 pounds pre-surgery. I then saw his nutritionist yesterday and she gave me a Keto food plan to assist in this weight loss. I dont have a surgery date so this isnt a pre-surgery plan...there's too many non-clear liquidy things on the list...LOL

I've had some success on the Atkins plan but this looks a little different since I am allowed coffee, nuts, seeds, Protein Shakes and 1 serving of fruit a day.

Does anyone have any good keto recipes or direct me to a good bariatric keto blog?

I don't know what I don't know so please help me :) thank you

Pinterest is a magical place for recipes. Personally I would start there.
Good luck!

My husband told me I am over reading about the surgery. [emoji849] However, I feel like all of the information and stories are helping me to go into this with realistic expectations.

Im just trying to soak in all of the good, positive wisdom on this site. There are a few posts that Ive got caught up in reading that has the typical Downer Debbie's but that usually gets shut down pretty quickly!

Lots of really helpful 'losers' here :) I love that they're sharing lessons learned so I can be a little calmer when surgery day is finally here.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
