your carbs are low u don't have to be doing atkins inductions at 20 carbs to be in ketosis you just have to be burning out all the fuel in your liver( glycogen) and then pulling from your body ...30 carbs if I am reading what you said correctly is a healthy ketogenic level for a day...30 carbs and u don't blow out your…

Hey girl...u are going to love your vsg ...recovery isn't to bad and the results are awesome!!!

Id agree to most of it besides the diet part...the diet part well it really depends on activity and what you are putting in not so much calories...if u sit all the time maybe...if you are active you get more carb as carbs are energy foods...u burn a lot of energy you get more energy foods its pretty simple.

Bone broth is amazing for you and cheap to make ...I have it as my inbetween snack and I have started using it as a base for my green smoothies lol...instead of fruit I just use veg and bone broth...its lovely!

Well kids...your hair falls out...really doesn't have anything to do with your protein intake...its an autoimmune response to surgery....as a hair designer of 27 years I have seen many peoples hair fall out after surgery and not weight loss surgery.
