Ketosis

[yecats 109]

Thinking about pre-op dieting, has anyone experienced pain in thier lower back area on both sides of their kidneys?

when I done low cardb diets in the past I had a lot of issues with this and wondered if that was normal or what? It seemed to be more uncomfortable when I would lie down. Also, it so uncomfortable after about 2 or 3 days that I would just quit the diet. Anyone experience this while on the pre-op diet?

Thank you

Nope. I haven't had ketosis symptoms, either pre or post-op, and I did hard-core Atkins for a long time before finding out about the sleeve. I lost 50 lbs in the course of a year, then gained it all back when I got pneumonia.

If you have problems with kidney pain on the pre-op liquid diet, you should talk to your surgeon. However, if you're drinking enough Water and following the liquid diet properly, it shouldn't be a problem.
