Post Op diet...keto?

[t_dulls 1]

My doctor recommends a low fat diet but I am interested in trying the Keto diet. Anyone try keto? I understand that my new stomach might not respond well to high fat.... I'm just 2 weeks post op and really looking forward to some soft food next week! Let me know what you think of the Keto diet!

Personally I'd stick with your prescribed diet plan for at least 6 months.

My personal opinion, we should be looking for a long term balanced diet, and not a fad diet. A diet that is 70% fats, 25% Protein, and 5% carbohydrates is not sustainable.

Let your WLS do it's job. You will be in ketosis naturally by having a calorie deficit.

Here’s where I break from the pack.
I was essentially raised Atlins/KETO. (My mom just didn’t know what it was called.). Margarine was a “fad”. Low-fat, non-fat products were a “fad”. We didn’t eat those. Never had a weight problem. (Mine manifested in my 30’s). The only manner in which I deviate from my prescribed eating program is that I refuse to use low-fat products.
Now, 7 weeks post surgery, I’m not going back to Keto right away but I’m building my fats toward that end and my primary is on board.
It’s not a fad, it’s yet another lifestyle. It’s not for everyone. However, some folks thrive.
