I am feeling really weak today. Hard to focus and just lethargic. I have been drinking my Protein shakes. I have been drinking Water. I have been eating my sugar free Snacks like pudding and yogurt. Is this jus my body going into ketosis? Also I have been taking my multi Vitamins and sub lingual B12

I'm on day 8 of my 2 week post opp diet. Yah it's hard. Ive been having tomato Soup and peace and ham . Just feel like it's a meal more than a shake or yogurt. Think of the long term . Your body needs these 2 weeks to heal. Good luck

I'm pre op liquid..not allowed tomato soup and was told to stop Vitamins and stuff bc it could upset the stomach being on such little food.

It's normal th be lethargic and I was told to enter true ketosis you need a ketogenic diet which is super low carb combined with high fat and this pre op diet does not truly create ketosis

That is what i am confused about because i was told ketosis makes liver shrink but the cream Soups are high in carbs.

Yea..I'm not allowed cream soups either in my pre op diet....

Some drs have you do tge pre op diet just to put you into the weight loss mode and not with the goal of liver shrink or anything...

Anyways no matter what ketosis comes with very low carb combined with high fats

I'm not allowed either I'm on three shakes or two if I want to have some broth!!! Basically only 80g of Protein and 64 ounces of Water a day. I'm on my 4th day of preop diet.. surgery 11/2/16
