Total calories: 605 Fat: 30 Carbs: 25 Protein: 58 92 ounces of fluid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! B: 2 chicken viennia sausages S: 1/2 cup jello L: homemade pimento & cheese. 2 ounces mild cheddar, 1/4 roasted red pepper, 2 tsp mayo, 2 small slices of pepperoni all blenderized to obvilion S: Orange dreamsicle protein with 1 cup non-fat milk S: 2 ounces grilled center cut boneless pork chop 1 Tbsp of boiled potato My homemade pimento & cheese was a BIG calorie chuck, but it was so good!! And I only ate a dabble rather than 2 lbs and a loaf of white bread!!! Smooch Arlies PS Ya'll I am concerned about this putting yourself into ketosis. I just don't see how that can be good for you. Doesn't it stress your kidneys out? I know that we need to go low carb, but my docs say no more than 40 per day. I spoke with my bariatric nurse today and she said she did not recommend ANYBODY putting themselves into ketosis to speed up the weight loss. So I won't be doing no carbs. I just don't feel comfortable with it, but I am trying to keep my carbs down.

We were on the same wavelength, just a few minutes apart. OOpps! Elesha

About the ketosis thing...What I learned from my experience and discussions with my DRs is that anyone who has had WLS is in a "catabolic state" meaning during rapid weight loss you are burning your body (both muscle and fat) for fuel. To my understanding, this is ketosis. I don't think that someone still within the first 6 month post-op has to try to be in ketosis...you are already there. Now for people further post, it's a different story. We have to work at burning our fat. The volume of food is greatly different and it's calories in/calories out to maintain.

I am trying though. My carbs are fantastic and so is my protein. Arlies, I can tell when I am in ketosis. This is gross but a fact --I can tell on how my body smells. I mean like urine, BM, etc... not BO or anything...

Everyone is doing so well . Arlies I would probably stay off this one. You are having a hard enough time getting in your 98 ozs of liquids and getting use to your pouch. Please take care.
