Started the 5 day ketosis diet today!

Ok so having chicken and broth for breakfast wasn't all that bad but I still have 4 more days to go! I've had so much water today I'm ready to float away! It is nice being able to have sugar free jello and shellfish though. So for lunch I had broth and 3oz of shrimp although I miss the nice spicy ****tail sauce it's still very good. For dinner was 3oz of grilled lean beef and broth. Total days calories are 484 with 1.6g of carbs. 

The journey continues.

is this your pre surgery diet?

No, this a 5 day diet that my dr. has everyone do during time leading up to surgery. This is to show him that you can comply with directions and also shows commitment. At the end of the 5 days you have to go to his office and take a urine test. It needs to show that your body is in ketosis. Once that is completed and I pass the test I will then resume the regular diet that he has put me on until 2 weeks before surgery. At that time I will go on the 14 day liquid diet leading up to surgery. 

Can you post the instructions for me? I'm curious because I know that a lot of people are in ketosis and I don't think I've ever experienced it.

wow, interesting!  I did not have to do this.

This is the diet that my dr. gave me.

3 oz of lean protein, 1cup broth, 1 cup of water for breakfast lunch and dinner

meats and fish need to be broiled, roasted, grilled or baked.

a minimum of 64oz of non caloric liquids each day. you can count the broth towards the liquid intake. Broth is for extra sodium your body needs while on the diet.

Condiments allowed: onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

other liquids that you can have are coffee, tea, seltzer, crystal light, diet sprite or 7up. You can use artificial sweeteners, heavy or light cream in coffee or tea.

You have take a multi-vitamin everyday

DAY2 of 5 Ketosis  Diet

Having pork tenderloin and broth was not greatest breakfast but at least I got to wa**** down with a big glass of cold H2O.

I'm following the rules to the T. I weighed today at home and was down 2lbs. Pretty good for only being on the plan for 24hrs so far! Downside to the diet for me has been lower energy, not feeling all that great with some nausea and some diarrhea. I have still managed to get down 110 oz of clear liquids in plus the 24oz of broth. I think I'm floating away! LOL :)  The bathroom has been my best friend! I know that this needs to done with no slip ups and that's exactly what I'm gonna do! I'll blow the dr.s ketostick out of the water on Saturday when I get tested!

The journey continues.
