Since im too lazy to go to the gym i did it. My problem wasn't the food my problem was the soda.

A very low calorie diet like the shake pre op diet causes ketosis, which is different to other types of ketosis diets. At this level, ketosis facilitates safe weight loss and keeps important body processes working properly while getting so few calories. Whilst your body and brain usually use carbohydrates as their main energy source, during ketosis, the body burns fat and ketones are produced, which supply the brain with energy. Excess ketones that your body does not use are excreted via urine and breath (thus the bad breath). Ketosis symptoms may include dehydration, fatigue, headaches and Constipation, due to excessive amounts of sodium, potassium and Water being lost from your body. However, your body can adjust to these changes in your electrolytes levels, and these symptoms will usually pass within the first few days (3-6 days) . This is followed by an increase in energy and reduction in appetite which, through this Intensive Phase, is likely to result in consistent and successful weight loss. It's also important to know that these are typical symptoms of a ketosis diet and you should try to stick to the program and pass through the first 3 days of the program, which is when you are most likely to experience Ketosis Side Effects. Of course, if you are concerned about your symptoms or if they persist, speak to your doctor, dietitian or pharmacist before adjusting or stopping the Optifast® VLCD™ Program.

Well Thrush IS a yeast infection, so having an oral thing with a vaginal thing does make is more likely to be thrush!

Yup I get thrush from antibiotics. To solve the problem I will either rinse my mouth out with vinegar and this makes it easier to peel up the white stuff or you can take a slower approach and eat some yogurt. Yogurt has Probiotics and it works really well on vaginal yeast infections also. I'm a natural health nut lol and these are things that I used. The yogurt will take about 2-3 days to work and make sure you leave it on your tongue for a couple of seconds before swallowing. You can also buy probiotic pills. Any type of regular yogurt will work but don't use the greek yogurt.

ETA: if you have a vaginal yeast infection also you can try inserting a tampon that is covered in plain yogurt and smearing yogurt on the outside itchy parts. This works! I've tried it and it works way better than what the doc gives you and plus IMO it's more convenient than running to the doc. My friend thought I was crazy for doing it until she developed a yeast infection and she raved about how well it worked. I also drink red raspberry leaf tea during my period and it gets rid of menstrual cramps. Works way better than advil and all you need to do is drink one cup and there will be no cramps for the rest of your period.

Exactly how I felt! I've learned a lot since then. The white tongue comes from a few different things but mostly a detox your body is going thru because of the lack of food, sugar and carbs. If you do a Water fast you get the same thing!

Nausia is because you are hungry, your stomach might not feel it but the rest of your body is freaking out because of the missing calories and sugar. They forget to tell you about that in those classes they make you take.

I honestly don't think the surgeons have a clue as to what happens to the body when put thru this process and the support team at my surgeons office didn't either or at least they weren't willing to share.

Has anyone been in this situation after surgery??

I had thrust after surgery and was told it was common from the amount of antibiotics given in the hospital. I did have complications and was rushed in for a second surgery = more antibiotics, but I was told it was common.

I had the white tongue and the horrible taste. The mouth rinse made me sick, so they gave me pills which took 2 weeks to wipe out the thrust, but now it is all good!

Good luck :)

Ok, I haven't had surgery, BUT I have had thrush. I couldn't eat or hardly drink anything for about a week. They had to give me liquid medicine to clear it up. I hope you get it taken care of whatever it may be. I think mine was from a combination of birth control and antibiotics.

Are you drinking a lot of milk?

My first couple weeks on full fluids, I drank a ton my milk to get my Protein in and the back of my tongue turned white from it.

I had this too! I would brush and brush my tongue but it wouldn't budge. It felt like fur growing on my tongue! I was convinced for a bit it was thrush, but it did go away on its own. This only happened during the clear liquid/full liquid phase. I was convinced it was the Isopure that caused it. If you have doubts, check with your doctor to be sure.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
