this happen to anyone?

i went to see my family dr. today because ive been feeling well at all and she did a urine test and said i had high levels of ketones and protein in my urine? she was real short on this didnt say what it was or anything suggested i call my surgeon they suggest me go to er which im going later on tonight--i only pee about 3x a day and very little im wondering what the heck is going on and if anyone had this?????

Missy I have no idea. Maybe Sherri or one of the others will know. I wonder why they told you to go to the er when you were already at the drs office. That seems weird. Keep me informed.

hey i was kept over night in the hosp--i went into the er and they did another urine test where they found blood high ketones protein in my urine---and also did blood test where they found my potassium was very low and admited me asap they gave me 4 bags of fluid and 5 bags of potassium and i have to see a urologist on monday because my kidneys are not working correctly---

Are you getting your fluids in?  I would think the ketones could be from rapid weight loss but part of why we need fluids is to flush our system.  If you are only peeing 3 times a day it doesn't sound like you are getting 64 ounces of fluids. 

Missy, The amount of urine is directly related to the very little fluids you have coming in. No more can come out than what is put in. The more you increase you water intake, the better improvement you will have with the urine...in quality as well as quantity. The ketones...I am making an educated guess at saying that it is a signal of your going into ketosis. Ketosis is usually accompanied with a real nasty taste that brushing your teeth, etc. just doesn't get rid of. Ketosis occurs when you don't get nutrients in from food, namely, carbs. It is a MYTH to think this is a good thing. It isn't. If your body doesn't get what it needs from carbs, it moves on...not to your fat reserves but to your muscles. Sorry, but we all need every bit of muscle we have! Call your nut's office and tell them what your pcp found and ask for their guidance. They will most likely instruct you to drink either some gatorade or low-cal grape juice every day for 3-5 days to get your levels back where they belong. You'll know they are good because the bad taste in your mouth will be gone. Until you are able to get your fluids and food in, you will see strange things happen to your levels and will definately feel like crap. Sip every waking moment. The more liquid you are able to get in, the better you will feel.  Sherri

Missy I went into Ketosis after surgery because i couldn't get all my fluids in and i felt like **** to put it plainly... i had no energy and literally felt awful.. I started drinking some gatorade watered down half and half and it mademe feel like a whole different person... even today and i'm almost 6 months out i don't eat hardly any carbs my little pouch is still only big enough to hold my protein... i drink watered down fruit juice and gatorade today... try that and see if that helps... just make sure you water it down... because otherwise it could make you dump... i drank 100% apple juice watered down as well because it helps keep my bowels moving or i get constipated... TMI i know, but we all deal with either that or the opposite...
