Hi everyone. I recently got diagnosed with starvation ketosis. Its been 3 months after weight loss surgery and I've lost 70 pounds (was 289 before surgery). However my body has started to shut down. I am constantly sick, worse when I eat or drink, I'm too sick and weak to work so I no longer have a job, and my kidney levels are all messed up. The doctors and surgeons have no odea what to do. The one doctor at the hospital I was admitted to for 5 days told me I need carbs and sugar in my diet immediately. I was then put on a special diet by the dietitian. However, I do not think my body is ready to handle the carbs. I've been dealing with a lot of pain and I finally had to stop eating the carbs I was told to eat all together. I was warned by the dietician and surgeons it was going to be very rough for me but they dont know how else to help. Neither does my regular doctor. They've neber dealt with this before. I'm very very desperate. I'm on the verge of being homeless and I have no help from anyone. Is there anyone here who has or is dealing with starvation ketosis and has any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate it.

Are you still drinking your shakes?

The shakes made me very sick. I've tried three different kinds and all of them made me vomit and in sever pain.
