I need an operation that they tried to do last week, I was too fat. My consultant has booked me in for 9th June to see her about getting re booked in for the op, I need to have lost at least 2 stone by then.
I'm currently 14st at 5ft 2 and a bit - very much all around my waist too.
Keto has been recommended, any tips would be great as I'm starting tomorrow!

You’re big enough for weight loss jabs. I’d be doing that. Much better odds and it sounds important. I was 14st when I stated and have lost 2st but much slower. I am much taller than you though so BMI was ‘only’ 30.5. You should lose the first stone quickly on Keto or jabs.

I can't afford jabs unfortunately, my bowel issues I'm waiting for the operation for mean I can't work, so we're living off dp for now

Look at the Diet Doctor website. It has sections for low carb and keto with meal plans that are really helpful.
The other option is to use something like 2 meal replacement shakes and a calorie controlled meal a day. They sometimes use that for a liver reducing diet prior to ops

Try to do clean keto. Also 16:8 fasting. So eggs, meat, fats, cheese, avocado if you like it, cruciferous vegetables, home made mayo or Sainsbury’s organic mayo, walnuts, water. Cream in your coffee, butter and cinnamon whisked is a delicious coffee too! No artificial sweetener or fruit for at least 2 weeks. Keep it clean and your cravings will go!
