ketosis - sore throat?

[Candle 11]

Tomorrow will be day 9 of my liquid diet.< /p>

I've had a nasty taste in my mouth for a few days now and been brushing and brushing my teeth. Someone on another board pointed out it sounds like ketosis.

I'm worrying because my surgery is on Monday and my throat is feeling weird. It doesn't really hurt but it feels like something is stuck. Or like when you drink something hot and it burns your throat and then you can't feel it when you swallow.

You think this could just be a symptom of ketosis? I feel fine otherwise.

I'm going to flip out if I have strep and my surgery gets cancelled!! ahhhhhhhh!!

I don't want to admit to my doctor that my throat is bothering me. I don't want them to put off my surgery.

Like I said - I feel fine other wise and I saw my PCP yesterday - no fever. (of course my throat was fine YESTERDAY - errrrr)

This exact thing happened to me the night before my surgery. I thought strep, also. I started to cry b/c I didn't want my surgery to be canceled. I just took some Mucinex to dry e'thing up. I also drank orange juice until midnight. I wasn't taking any chances. I woke up in the morning and I was fine. Not sure what it was, but it was weird. I thought for sure I was coming down w/s'thing, but nope.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Hope you get squared away!

Thanks guys

I went and saw my doctor today. She was worried it sounded like thrush. (ewwwww)

BUT

Everything is fine. She said I could just be having some kind of reaction to all the extra milk and dairy I've been consuming on this stupid liquid diet. She also said to call my surgeon just to let them know.

Throat is still feeling weird today - anyone had or know of someone having an allergic reaction to milk (out of the blue) and/or Protein shakes?

I'm using the whey Protein powder powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury.

Try taking an antihistamine and see if it goes away.

Can I take that 2 days before surgery?

Hi,

I was drinking milk and dairy products for my pre-op diet. All of a sudden I was having cramping and all of the lovely things that go with it. I was told by my NP I was taking in too much "whey" for my body to handle. So, since I had so much whey protien at home I switched the milk for lactose free milk. It seems to work fine. I stopped the sick feeling. If it had continued I would have switched to the lactose free milk and soy protien.

I have had thrush before which was caused by antibiotics.

Good Luck!

I am not sure but I don't see why not.

Start a new thread and ask I am sure people take them all the time.

Thanks<O:p</O:p

I just ran to CVS and the pharmacist said Sudafed was ok. She said all the dairy may have given me post nasal drip and recommended something.

*fingers crossed*<O:p</O:p

I'm using the whey Protein powder unjury.

I've had a scratchy throat too. and lower back pain and achy knees - we only have today and tomorrow left until our surgery so we have to stay strong. Let me know if the Sudafed helps. Are you as tired of the milk products as I am???

Do you mix the Unjury with Water or milk?
