@ashjen1217 - If you add emojis by typing and not using the button above the text box, it tends to cut off your post. It has something to do with a coding error in groups at the moment. If you can still edit your post, or even quote and respond to it and remove the emoji, the entire thing might still show up...0

After having the gastric bypass surgery, I lost 100 with in 1 year, I still had more to loose but I was well on my way. I'm very much a bored and an emotional eater. At the start of my second year, my grandmother died. I had lived with her and my grandfather since I was 12. I'm now 33, but I was 31 when she passed. We knew it was coming, she was very sick. Still when it happened, I gained some weight back, only about 25lbs, but that's a lot to gain back when you worked so hard to loose it in the first place. The next year wasn't very good, I got cancer, my Pap got cancer, my sister thought she had cancer and had her thyroid removed. Everything went to *kitten*. Then out of the blue my grandfather goes in for a lung biopsy and comes out dead. The last year we had become very close, he trusted me with doctors appointments, taking notes, helping him make educated decisions on surgeries and tests that needed to be done, etc. So when I lost him, I kinda l lost part of myself. And I know he would be so upset with me for gaining more weight back. So now I've gained about 50lbs back, and this diet looks l like the option that best fits with the outlines I have to follow with the Bariatric menu. The only thing is the fat intake is way higher that what I'm *supposed* to have. But I also don't have the issues (vomiting, diarrhea, bloating, gas, etc) when I eat fat. But I have been getting some of the side effects when I eat to much sugar. So I think I may be okay with this diet, I guess I just have to see, but I really need some support to help me get through this hard time until I can work out all the issues in my head that's making want to eat all these bad things. Please no criticism, just helpful opinions, thoughts, or ideas.

Hey I'll help any way I can. There are always peaks and valleys right? Try lean proteins like chicken breast, Turkey and fish. I backed off how many hamburgers I eat for lean turkey meatballs.0

@robinsmith1 - Oh, wow!! Sending all the hugs... That is so much to deal with. Luckily the fat part is "to satiety" so you won't have to aim for some random macro. The lowered carbs is the crucial part. Protein is probably a goal range your doctor previous set, if not, I'd ask there, because bariatric patients have different needs... Whatever fat you don't eat will be supplied by your body.
I am a binge, compulsive, boredom, and emotional eater, as well. The mental side of this is so much harder (TO ME) than the physical stuff... Sending the best of thoughts. (HUGS)0 -
@robinsmith1 - I am deeply sorry for your losses! Losing parental figures is devastating, I know. I will skipped the cliche' inspirational words, for both our sake, and go directly to a great resource I just stumbled on sorta specific to your situation.
2 Keto Dudes podcast episode 52 spoke specifically to 3 ladies, mods at there forum which I don't know if I can link here, who all had bariatric surgery and found and follow a keto diet. They all a different style than you but I believe the info will still be useful.
Also with respect to the amount of fat you're supposed to be "allowed" after bypass, my wife who had bypass, did not get fat restrictions for any medical reason. She was just urged to drastically limit sugar intake, which puts you part of the way to keto automatically. I think the reduced fat mantra of the lamestream dietetics infiltrated that doctor's head.
Now as @KnitOrMiss has said and @Sunny_Bunny_ has repeated quite often around here, "If you're body is already High Fat, all you need is Low Carb!"
My prayers to you and your family!!3 -
Hello all. I just finished my first week on keto and am looking for moral support to keep it up. It's working, but my body is still adjusting, and I fear I'm already tired of kale and spinish--which I used to love! But having those veggies a couple of times a day is straining that love...
I'd like friends to inspire each other and share meal ideas. I'm glad I found this board, that will help a lot I'm sure! I've already found some great resources to check out.

...and it suddenly seems like you have no purpose. It's a very lonely space. Been there. My best to you.

hi! I usually am in the LCD forum, but checking things out here too. I do lazy keto - track my food, but don't worry so much about macros. Just getting some weight loss. Did last year for a few months, dropped 30 lbs. Started again 1/15/17 and still going strong. Down 16 lbs. Had a few weeks of crazy stalls, but I have faith!
