Question:
I went to the pharmacist today and asked for some strips to see if I was in ketosis..

He gave me Ketostix, are these the right ones??? I used one and it read the highest amount on the bottle, is this normal for a new post-op?? I am two weeks out yesterday. I am assuming that is why it is so high. Please help, I know nothing about these strips.....lol I just read about people using them. Any Info would be appretiated! Thanks Everyone!

In my opinion, you don't need to check. You will know when you start waking up in the middle of the night and wonder what died in your mouth. LOL It is normal at this point to be going into ketosis.

I remember I was at the highest level of ketosis (according to the strip I used) about four months postop. I only checked because someone had given the strip and I was just curious, so I believe it is normal.
