I know you said you are taking a stool softener if that is the case increase your Water intake. The stool softener will extract water from your bowels and dehydrate you more and dehydration will cause more issues for you. I remember when I did Atkin's I was severely constipated and had to go to the Emergency room, boy that was not fun for me or the nurses.

My rather simple question, have you changed laundry products? I've had similar symptoms and it was that easy. If you have, you don't have to get rid of the detergent. Just add 1/4 C vinegar to your rinse cycle.

Hope you are feeling better.

There are a couple of things that come to mind here. First, when you are on a high Protein diet you can get constipated. Second, what is your Water intake? If you are drinking coffee or any caffeinated beverage you have to add double the amount of Water to cover the caffeine intake because it will dehydrate you. The itching could be a sign of dehydration. You have to drink at least 64oz of water plus the water you intake for Protein and food. Second, your body is going through a drastic nutritional change make sure you are getting the right Vitamins. Third with this nutritional change comes new allergies, likes, and dislikes. Look at what you are eating. Low carb diets could cause Keto Rashes. Look up, Keto Rash or Candida.

Oh wow - I've never heard of Keto Rash before so I looked it up - here is a quick YouTube to watch...totally makes sense! Thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
