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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
