Appendectomy and Weight Gain

(kovack) #1

The Sunday before Labor Day, I had an appendectomy. I’ve been Keto for 3 years.i haven’t changed my Keto lifestyle, but I’ve gradually gained weight. After almost 6 months, I’ve gained 20 lbs! I’m bummed about the weight, but I’m also stymied because I haven’t changed my Keto lifestyle. I’m open to advice or suggestions. My husband and I are also looking for a Keto friendly doc near Akron / Canton Ohio.

I’m sorry you’ve had a hard time with weight after surgery. It’s really hard on the body - trauma, anesthesia, stress. I don’t know how long it takes to really recover. I hope someone with experience can help. I do think it’s awesome that you are “ketoing on”. Perhaps when you’re ready, you can reset by changing up your eating patterns or by fasting?

Thank you for your suggestions. I will try fasting again and adjust my eating habits. Keto-ing on, sister!
