I had to do the protein shakes 2x daily with small evening meal for a MONTH. It kicked me into Ketosis and there the weight went. I would suggest checking with the Dr. and see what they say. They might want you just on the shakes.... I know that with my evening meal I couldn't have anything that would even remotely resemble a carb. I could do leafy green....but not much else with my 4-6 oz. protein. I lost 10 lbs and surgery is Friday. YIPEE!
