what's the best way to prevent ketosis as a new rny patient?  I have a little kidney issues and would like to avoid ketosis if possible.

Speak to your surgeon & nut for advice specific to your condition. 

The way to avoid ketosis is to add carbs in some way.  Because dumping can be more severe in people just after surgery & because your restriction will be at it's max and you need to get protein in for healing, it could be difficult.  You can get carbs from milk - but many people end up lactose intolerant. 

Maybe someone has some ideas?  Good luck with your surgery.
