Think I'm in Ketosis

[wildchild]

I think I'm in Ketosis my symptoms are dry mouth, rotten breath (cleaning teeth a least 4 times a day) can hardly sleep, loads of energy,always thirsty so I'm drinking loads of water, no real appetite but I'm feeling fine.

It may also be the excitement of surgery next week. My question is should I up my carb intake or just let it pass. Victoria x

Sounds like ketosis to me. If you up your carb intake you will be in danger of taking yourself out of ketosis, making yourself feel dull and lethargic and generally having no energy. So depends what part of your weightless journey your on. If post op I would assess your total calorie intake and consider an increase in carbs if it was down. If pre op. On the pre-op diet I'd guess that's where you'd want to be. If pre op and waiting for a date I'd suggest uping cabs for a couple of days before continuing how you are, stop the body thinking it's in starvation mode as it's had to keep calories up without carbs.

Stick to your pre op plan regardless of how much in keys is you are, that's the point so don't tweak it!!

Sometimes it depends what you where eating before. You could get the increased energy levels in a day or two.

I just feel normal 2day no excess energy tho! But not hungry either x

Stick to the plan. Being in ketosis isn't a bad thing!
And def don't up your carbs because your liver won't shrink for surgery next week!

All the best with the op x
