Just wanted to share that I had a mesh hernia repair a few weeks ago. My ketones got up to 2.5 mmol in the hospital and I was so pumped(I’d never seen them that high before). Got home and realized I gained 4 pounds! Got mad. But you know, keep calm and keto on. Weighed yesterday and am down like 6 pounds in a week! So yeah, the body protects and stores and does lots of things depending on what is happening to it. Actually 3 pounds less than I was prior to surgery so the ketones caught up with me. I try not to focus on the scale, but I’m a fat woman that has discovered this new method of losing weight. I still can’t seem to believe that I can eat hamburgers and mayonnaise and lose weight without exercise. I’ve been laying around for days! Is this real life?! Sidebar: just printed the list of YOUTUBE keto speakers to add to the repertoire. Steak and butter gal is getting the first listen.

Congrats. Yes, it was hard for to believe that such a simple concept would change my life. But here I am. After 3 years, it’s now second nature.
