Hi
I'm booked for a keyhole op at the end of April. I was planning to Atkins up to and after the op... but there are some other threads on here saying that you must be out of ketosis before having a general anaesthetic and can't resume for 3 months after. Anyone have any idea if this is true?
Obviously I'm going to email the surgeon and check but would like to know if anyone else has heard of this. I can't imagine why you would have to wait 3 months to resume? And I was under the impression that lots of Weight-loss surgery people go onto VLCDs before surgery anyway so they'd be in ketosis. Actually I go into ketosis really easily so if they starve me for a day in advance of surgery I'd be in ketosis anyway. Bit confused - this will prey on my mind until the surgeon gets back to me.
