starvation ketosis



Recommended Posts

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
