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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
