Default Just Got My Blood Results

SO I JUST GOT BACK FROM MY PCP AND EVERYTHING IN MY BLOOD WAS PRETTY GOOD, NO MORE CHLOSTERAL ISSUES OR SUGAR ISSUES. BUT IN MY URINE TEST THEY FOUND A TRACE OF KETONES. THEN HE ASKED ME IF IM EATING ENOUGH SO I SAID OH SURE I AM! HE SAID USUALLY ITS FROM NOT EATING ENOUGH/STARVATION

DOC HELP HOW COULD THIS BE? I DO EAT ENOUGH. OR COULD IT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME EATING TOO MUCH PROTEIN?

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Don't get too concerned. To me it seems like that would be an expected result, but Doc will give you a better answer. Post-op you just can't eat a whole lot and your body is getting it's energy from your stored fat, so in order to do that you have to use that stored fat and it produces ketones as a waste product. I know when I was pregnant they kept me overnight because of that, but it wasn't good for the baby and they had to hydrate me. I'm sure Doc will straighten all of this out and let us know if it really is normal and for how long it can be expected if it is normal.

Doc - does it hurt your kidneys at all?

I'm interested too.

I hear conflicting recommendations about exactly how much a WLS person needs.

They are produced in the body when fats, rather than glucose are used to produce energy.

Ketones are normally present in the bloodstream, but when their concentration exceeds 70 mg/dl, they start to appear in the urine - this is "ketosis."
Trace to moderate ketones a few hours after a meal means I'm burning my fat reserves and/or recently-eaten fat for energy between meals in a normal process of metabolism. I'm excreting the ketones which are in excess of my energy requirements to maintain a psysiological acid/base balance (ketones are acidic).
Being in ketosis means your body has burned a large amount of fat in response to the fact that it didn't have sufficient glucose available for energy needs. Under everyday conditions, the carbohydrates you eat are converted to glucose, which is the body's primary source of energy. Whenever your intake of carbohydrates is limited to a certain range, for a long enough period of time, you'll reach a point where your body draws on its alternate energy system, fat stores, for fuel.
