Ketosis changes the way the body smells, my husband hasn't complained yet, so I'm assuming it's not that bad yet. I can tell the cat notices the changes in me because she's racing around the house with me and if I'm in the kitchen, she sits on the floor out of the way somewhere to watch me. If in the livingroom or bedroom she needs to have closeness. My bedroom has 2 doors to it, a standard door from the livingroom, the other is a folding door that hides access to the middle bedroom where hubby setup his office. We generally leave that door open along with the door to the middle bedroom so she come and go as she needs. If she leaves the bedroom and can't see me, she will cry until someone tells her to "go around", then she assures herself I'm here and ok before she will settle. I'd say it's a silly thing on her part, but she's seen my medical crisis' before. At 14 yrs old she's seen everything with me happen, she's also lost all the cats she was raised with too. I suspect in her own mind she worries something bad is happening with me and she's going to lose me too. I got up this morning. @6:45, she has been glued to me since, glued to my right hip. I wish I could tell her I'm ok and the changes she senses are ok and expected. Best thing I can do to help her is be calm and love her the next few days

Wow Kat. She sounds kinda like how protective a dog is. At age 14 sou D's like she's doing pretty good. Lol off the cat issue..I woke up at 4:30 instantly thinking Protein Shake. Was feeling a little hungry so I just drank some water.Just figured Protein shake should be drank around this time 8ish. Then I started it says I can have leafy green vegetable for dinner. I don't really like salad due to the dressing. I wonder if it is OK to eat broccoli? Lol I love that stuff.

Im on the KetogenX diet, all leafy or green veggies were allowed. Homemade oil and vinegar dressings were allowed too as long as I limited myself to 1 teaspoon of olive oil a day

Shadow is an Domestic American Shorthair bobtail, we were told by the rescue she was either part bobcat or part manx. All I know is she refuses to let me up and has pinned me to the chair lol.

I got the results back from my preop bloodwork. Excuse me for the forthcoming snarky comment.... Nurse says hey Tricia, did you know you are anemic? Why yes, have been all my life, duh, pale skin redheads usually are. Nurse: Just wanted to be sure you knew. This will mean you might have to take an additional Iron supplement postop. Ok *rollseyes*

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
