No. Maybe i should call my doc. I am 2 months out. How long till it gets better?

When your body is in ketosis you need to drink lots of water , is very hard on the kidneys when you are in ketosis. 1 thing you don't want to do is go in and out of ketosis. I hope you're able to get your vitamins down somehow someway I used Flintstones complete I tried the liquid vitamins from GNC and they were horrible.

Thx for the advice. does it ever go away???

Mine did I could not stand that nasty feeling UGH it gross me out. Drink, drink, drink you need the water

Not to change the subject but I just started my period! The kicker... I haven't had one in over two years! Guess the surgery is working it's magic!!!

That's awesome.your hormones are getting back in check.my Dr told me 100lbs over or under it is hard to get pregnant.. I just started mine but it is very light, unlike the heavy ones I'm use to. Weird...

I am just here to whine a little I hope that is ok. I never feel well. I am having major ketosis symptoms. I brush my teeth a million times and my mouth still tastes so bad it makes me constantly gag. I get so tired and dizzy. Its all i can do to eat my 2oz 3xs a day because it doesnt taste that great. I have not been able to force myself to take my meds and vitamins. I have tried pill' date=' liquid, and chewable vitamins and i cant make myself take them. I feel gaggy/vomity all the time. My son and hubby r sick of me being sick (me too). Smells bother me too. A few weeks ago I loved the smells of food cooking even tho i couldnt eat it. I am about 2 months postop. I am worried because I have been skipping my anti depressants and anxiety meds. I have also been having problems with pain control during my pms. I have always had pain but this is way worse. Trying to manage the pain with Tylonol instead of ibuprofin is so difficult for me. Not to mention taking the tylonol pills is hard. I know i dont have a stricture because water is fine and other than the bad taste the food is fine. I am debating eating some healthy carbs just to stop the ketosis. My drs diet orders r no carbs. I wish ther was some way to get my meds in a shot form. And a more powerful pain relief for my pms.

Thx for reading my rant. Any replys r welcome.[/quote']

I think you need to drink more water or fluids. Sugars free that is. You already don't feel we'll you don't want to get dehydrated. Whatever you do you have to take your meds and vitamins. Call your doctor ASAP. I wish you well.

Isn't it crazy how fat can affect our bodies. I have PCOS and haven't had regular periods w/o the aid of the pill for like 6 years. Since I hade the sleeve 2 years ago my body has been like clock work without the pill. Every 27 days aunt flow vist

Thx for all the advice. I love this resource and u all for ur help. I did call my doc yesterday and was able to start anti nausea meds today! The meds worked right away and it feels so great. I am also going back to a soft foods diet because they believe i am inflamed. not being nauseated motivates me to fix all my other probs. I have a dr appt in 15 days and they will adjust more then. For now i am good. Thx for the support everyone! September Losers ROCK!

Do you have nausea pills' date=' they help me tremendously

How far out are you, it will get better I promise

I am going through the same thing. I think.its because our nervous system is in shock over the surgery..one more straw breaks the camels back. Plus it screws with your hormones.

You are not alone. I was the same way. If I didn't have a short fuse I was depressed. I'm not that way either. It will pass. Our hormones are just out of whack.

Yeah I tried to stop taking my antidepressant bad idea until hormones aren't so high. Plus the 3 week period after surgery sucked.

I put an event together today for my work....it was a memorial service for our hospice patients...I have put together so many events but I got so ill about stupid stuff....I hate last minute stuff but today it felt like I was going crazy inside....which is so unlike me.....I don't under stands.....even though the event went off with out a problem.....everyone loved it.....I thought any moment something was going to ho wrong....URG!!!!@
