I have been at this now 4 mos. down 24 lbs. (all but a couple lost in the first mo). I feel myself slipping. I don't have a gallbladder so I am not able to tolerate the fat very well. I am trying but it gives me a terrible upset stomach. I find myself wanting to cheat more and more everyday. I am going over my carbs, not by much by a little. Very frustrated. I have been tracking my GKI and i am up as much as an 8. My ketones are down to .8 and my glucose is running from 110 to 120. I am also a diabetic. Need words of wisdom.

I’m not sure this is the ideal diet for someone without a gall bladder. Have you discussed this with your doctor or a nutritionist? An upset stomach shouldn’t be the norm.

You could try Ox Bile with Taurine available are most vitamin stores. I know! It sounds awful but you take a tablet an hour before you eat, (1hour very important) and it aids in digestion. I also had gb-ectomy and sometimes I don’t digest well. I found that I couldn’t tolerate more than one capsule per day not one at every meal or I would get diarrhea every time I had a meal. Now I only take if I’m having problems. Good luck!

Sal. rives

Sal. rives why did it give you diarrhea? Eating without the ox bile gives me diarrhea.

I don’t have a gallbladder either. In the first week my stomach was all messed up but now it’s adapted. Hope your does too.

Shaking my pom-pons for you - Spending time on here, looking up new recipes, shopping smart, setting smaller goals, drinking hot tea in the evenings, and taking pictures to make comparisons all help me. I just hit 25 pounds after starting the beginning of June. Slow and steady.
