Why use a stick to measure ketosis?

Were any of your labs abnormal and did your doctor tell you to check the levels of ketones? I am curious. I am almost 3 months post-op and will have my first blood work drawn next week so my surgeon will have results for my next visit on 12/2. I have been doing well on eating protein but I am having trouble getting in 64 oz. of liquid. I am lucky if I get half that amount. I do worry that I may damage my kidneys and have a history of kidney stones. Any insight is appreciated.
