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!

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

      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! 😞
