Keto?

At 4 years post op I found myself with a 35+ lb regain and facing the barrel of a scary health issue.

I jumped onto keto hardcore last November and have lost almost of the regain- with about 7 lbs to go.

I have no problems with it, in fact I feel great. I do drink an iced McDonald's coffee every day and still stay in ketosis. Right now I am deep into ketosis (I use a ketone meter) and have just jumped out of a 6 week stall with a 4 lb loss in the past 4 days.

There are a TON of great online resources, I really love youtube for recipes and ideas. I also use a lot of bariatric recipes that I found on this site and others, and just adapt them for my life. I have found substitutes for EVERYTHING. As part of keto I eat a small amount of berries every couple weeks and really look forward to that treat. Otherwise I eat salad every single day to get my veggies.

My all time favorite site for Keto is www.dietdoctor.com. the SCIENCE of keto is found there, in addition to thousands of recipes, videos, movies, presentations, etc.

Let me know if you have any specific questions!

Failed lap-band to VSG revision in 2010 - fast forward to 2017 and I'm back at my pre surgery weight. Started Keto mid Dec 2017 and I'm down 35lbs and really am just comfortable with eating now. Its a great plan.

i'm doing keto as well and down 30 in little over a month.

I had hard trouble finding/making meals! Once you find them it's gonna be pretty easy!

I have done keto diet once. It was effective for me as I lost almost 3 kgs in one month.
