Hi, I'm almost 6 weeks out. Feel pretty good generally and have good energy. The last couple of day when I get up I feel really weak and my heart is racing. After I have a shake or something it pretty much settles down. What up with that??

Blood sugar maybe? Thyroid?

Call your PCP or surgeon and let them diagnose it.

Im not sure what is up with that... but i go through the same thing every morning and I am 2 weeks out.  I have had to give myself about an extra half hour in the morning so i can move a little slower than normal. It gets a little better for me if i drink water as soon as i wake up...

Dehydration?  Blood sugar?  Blood pressure?  Those are the things that come to mind.  Maybe ask your surgeon when you see him for the 6 week appt (assuming you have one).

Orthostatatic hypertension?

  If it feels good, do it!  And if it smells good, eat it!

A racing heart can be a symptom of a leak. I woudl call my Dr immediately.  IT may be somethign entirely harmless but please don't take a chance.

I have dieted many times using the ketosis methods.  One of the things I noticed was at times my heart would race and I felt weak.  Also, I would sometimes have to breathe very slowly and deeply.  These things happened independent of one another.  Each time I checked my ketostix at that time I was deep into ketosis.  Just sayin...
