Goals/Day/Comments: Thanks guys!!! I am feeling much better, by Tuesday I experienced no further pain, went back to the hospital for follow-up and talked with some of the consultants initially thought it may be my appendix but the scan showed it was finem, they think the pain might just have been me passing a stone. Told me I should ensure I'm drinking loads as dehydration contributes to stone formation. I'm not really consistent with my water intake some days I drink loads and other days not so much. I need to ensure I drink enough each day. Also some abnormal labs not related to the pain or diet needs further investigation so it was a good thing the pain brought me to the hospital.
I do love keto/low carb, feel less bloated on it and less likely to overeat but find it hard to sustain long term hence carbs are increasing. Last time I did a keto diet about 5 years ago I felt so great and had so much energy but this time my body doesn't seem to be feeling it as much. I'm taking a break this week to review and refocus2 -

…Sorry only managed to weigh in the evening spent most of the day in the hospital. They saw my blood glucose was really low and my ketones were very high so made me drink some glucose gel, didn't want a lecture on low carb so just took it. The CT scan showed I had bladder stones.
I read that kidney stones can be a side effect of keto. Although studies have shown that people taking a potassium supplement are not as susceptible to getting them(if that helps you any).
I really do love the keto lifestyle, it really helped me see the light on how I eat and can give it credit for my 60lbs loss… and when I’m in that “ketosis” mode, I feel like a million bucks!
So many people out there want to lecture… but no matter what the naysayers say, I listen to my body first and it speaks in much louder volume, if you’re listening
The caveat to that would be, there are too many ways to tilt the keto diet in an unhealthy direction so we have to keep an eye out and try to be open to advise. I may roll my eyes at the “ok Karen” noise sometimes, but when I hear something new, I do try to weed out the muck and do a little digging in the medical journals and the studies, try to find out how legit the advice is, then ultimately tweak the diet so as not to run into any issues..
..now sounds like as good a time as any to do some more research and find ways to improve things.
Here’s to no mo’ stones and no mo’ hospitals!
Take care of yourself!❤️❤️
Wow well done on the 60lb weight loss. That is amazing!
Yeah I always like to do my own research and my own experiments to see what works for me so do take things I hear with a pinch of salt. The main issue for me is the water intake especially doing low carb2 -

Week 3

Sorry only managed to weigh in the evening spent most of the day in the hospital
Update: Mon 15th Aug
Track: Mostly
Calories: Was under, fasted for 19hrs 39mins.
Exercise: Not officially, 10628 steps by walking around the house
Goals/Day/Comments: Did not have a great day today, woke up with severe abdominal pain, nausea and dizziness, I had never experienced pain that bad in my life. Went to A&E where I spent over 7 hours doing tests, a CT scan waiting and waiting. They saw my blood glucose was really low and my ketones were very high so made me drink some glucose gel, didn't want a lecture on low carb so just took it. The CT scan showed I had bladder stones and an inflamed colon so need to get further tests done. As the pain had started to subside and I didn't want to remain overnight they discharged me. Was exhausted by the time I got home.
So far the pain hasn't come back yet
Sorry you went through this and hoping you’re feeling better. Try to stay away from fiber foods and veggies to help your colon heal. If you private message me your email address we can chat more about best options for recovery. Hope you feel at your best soon ❤️🩹

Friday (8/18)
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes - Net Under / 💧112 oz.
Exercise: Walking & light rowing
Goals/Day/Comments: Made great progress with the schedule challenges yesterday. Alternate route (10 miles out of the way) and distanced drop off/pick up point for Landen (Office Depot 5 blocks from school) definitely gave me hope. Still not enough to survive responsibilities without fizzling us all out but we’ll get there. Stress triggered a snacking influx and reduction of water intake but I caught myself.

Good thing for the intentional exercise in the morning because my butt was glued to the chair all day. 🖥️ I only got about 3,000 steps for the day. 😕 And my butt is numb. 😯
Happy Friday y'all and here's to a better day all around! 👍🍹🌞1
