I started this process in May 2016 and on November 30/2017 I was finally sleeved! I am feeling good. The first 5 days were harder than I thought, but I am feeling great now. I started in May 2016 at my highest weight of 275 (BMI 47) and my surgery weight was 200lbs. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks and I am down 16lbs as of today…

KETO and Constipation?
Does anyone suffer from constipation while eating Keto? What do you do to help? usually I would say drink water, but I am drinking WAY MORE than I use to and still no help. Normally, if I was having a lot of trouble, I would use a bottle of citro-mag from the drug store but 1) I don't know if this is ok on Keto and 2) I do…

working out after surgery?
When did you start working out after surgery, and what did you start with? I am not supposed to lift over 10lbs for another 4 weeks, so weight lifting is obviously not something I am going to jump into. what about yoga at 2 weeks out? will the bending and stretching hurt my new sleeve?

Might have to cancle my Gastric Sleeve surgery
I had my first gastric sleeve appointment last July. I have since been going for monthly appointments to prepare for upcoming weight loss surgery. In December I was given a weight loss goal (everyone going for surgery needs to lose at least 10% of their current weight) and I thought there was no way in hell I would ever…

Starting Over - Ugh
I told myself I would never be the one to have to write a "starting again" post because I wouldn't let myself get so off track that I needed a post like this.... Well its my turn. Since last May (2016) I was able to loose a total of 87lbs (from 275 - 188), I have since gone back up to 196.5 as of this morning and my…

too much of a calorie deficit?
According to most publications I find - I need to be eating about 2180 calories to maintain. I am currently eating 1400/day which is a deficit of 780. Is this deficit too large? its about 36% I think. I am still 60lbs from goal, so I really don't want to be doing anything that can sabotage my loss.

Thank you Keto, but i am moving on...
I was at my highest weight of 275lbs in May 2016. I was able to loose and get down to a 5 year low of 225 by changing some eating habits, but found myself in a 6 month plateau and the scale started creeping back up. In January of this year I found Keto, and in 2 months was at a 10 year low of 199! I made it to one-derland…

ways to increase energy?
I have done a good job at losing my weight, I still have about 45-50lbs to go (lost 85.5 so far) but my energy levels are so low. I am fighting to stay awake during the day and therefor, have no energy to be active. My weight loss is primarily diet related. Any supplements, etc that you use to help?

Keto diet after the Sleeve?
Has anyone stuck to a ketogenic diet after having the sleeve? not white recovering, but once you are allowed solid foods again? I am keto now and would like to continue it once I am healed from surgery, I am reading articles online about what to eat, and not eat after being sleeved, and a lot of keto foods are on the DO…

Once you have had surgery, recovered, and able to eat solid foods again.... what do your days look like? do you eat 3 meals a day? carbs? I am prepared for the liquid diet post surgery but what about the rest of my life?

Favorite work out videos at home?
With my kids, and my spouses schedule, I cannot commit to the gym. I am looking for your favorite workout videos at home? I have an android box, so I am able to get just about anything. I am just starting out with fitness, so nothing too extreme. My goal is to lose weight, and tighten up the skin as I am losing. Thanks all!

Daily Accountability Check-in
I am so mad at myself for becoming so lazy with my Keto. I have been stretching my carbs more and more and am just frustrated, with no one but myself. I need a kick in the @$$.

Another ladies TOM post
For those who see a "stall" around that time of the month... how soon before do you start seeing the stall? I am about 4 days before and I feel bigger, the scale went up a little and hasn't come back down, despite being good. I feel like I am holding water, my fingers feel swollen and I just feel frumpy....

In Ketosis - Fat Fast Help
So I am in ketosis and would like to do a 3 day fat fast. My question is: instead of following a "normal" fat fast diet (as one shown on ruled.me), can I get all my fat from coffee and HWC? I am planning on drinking 5 coffees and HWC a day during my fasts. This will land me with 1000 calories, 100g fat, 5g protein and 0g…
