ketoacidosis

I'm 20 days out of surgery, feeling just great, down a total of 62 pounds.  The only problem that I'm having is that when I go on my designated  walks for exercise my heart rate goes up very quickly and stays up and it feels kind of like someone is sitting on my chest.  My doc (the best, I'm convinced) told me that he thinks I'm having issues with ketoacidosis and that I need to add two protein shakes a day for 72 hours and that hopefully this problem will resolve.  I am diabetic, but since the day of surgery I haven't been taking any medicine, and my sugars were running in the mid-ninties until the last few days they've been running a little higher.  Also I have some kind of constant ache around my ribcage.  It's not surgical pain or gas, it's just a strange ache!  Very weird.

Has anyone else had any issues with ketoacidosis?  Would be very interested to know your experience if you did.

Thanks!

I have not had any of those kind of issues. I honestly would be freaking and jumping up and down for someone to fix me!

I hope it all gets worked out and the rest of your journey is smooth sailing.
