Morning everyone. Does anyone else feel dehydrated? I've woken up with mouth ulcers where my mouth has been so dry through the night, my upper lip stuck to my teeth! I've also got a cold sore where my dry lips cracked. I wasn't expecting this as I'm drinking up to 4 litres a day! Any tips?

My mouth was incredibly dry this morning, but no ulcers
You might need multivitamins, mouth wash before bed and lots of regular lip balm?
If the ulcers don't go or gept worse, I suggest seeing your gp next week

Of course you can!
Well doneEvery day completed is a day closer to your goal.
There are a lot of descriptions online about various symptoms of ketosis - it also can vary from person to person. I've only knowingly been in ketosis once on a water fast last year.
Ketosis symptoms can include (and aren't limited to): nausea, feeling tired more easily (fatigue), breath smells, headaches, mood swings, more trips to the toilet, weight loss.
After a while they can change/lessen/go away I think - not sure what it's like on a vlcd tbh. I'll hopefully to find out soon

Not just me with the dry mouth then? I don't think anything sinister is going on with the ulcers. I remember waking up in the night because my lip was stuck to my teeth and gum and it hurt when I separated then so I must've damaged the skin then. I'll definitely being using lip balm all the time from now though, thanks.
On a lighter note, I just come back from the cinema with my daughter. We'd usually feast on chocolate and popcorn but today I saved my breakfast shake and feasted on that instead. I'm very proud of myself! Glad everyone else is doing so well too. Well done to you all

In a normal balanced diet we generally get more of our daily water intake from food than drink. On a VLCD it is therefore vital to drink 3-4 litres of water a day every day or you’ll start getting headaches, loss of energy, dizziness, constipation and low actual weight loss (water debt). Get away with it for longer by some means, and you could get kidney stones and other renal issues, ultimately heart problems. This isnt scaremongering, the water part is dead important. It is essential for your health that you do this, and not just something that is said to sound healthy. I have four pints of water in the day, four in the evening, and one on my bedside table. You need to come up with a similar plan and stick to it. All the tea, coffee and soft drink you have must be on top of this volume, not instead of. Sounds alarming, sorry, but essentially this ought to be a medically supervised diet, and it’s only the water promise that makes it safe. We can fib about not reeeeaally eating that biscuit, but please do keep a genuine and honest eye on the water.

I've been drinking around 4 litres per day but still wake up with such a dry mouth. Seems to be that the more I drink, the more I want!

Day 5: I weighed myself this morning.
Down 2.1kg - so now at 130.3kg
Another 55 to go
I ordered a weight loss tracking chart from etsy 2 days ago - it should arrive Tuesday or Wednesday.
I will be logging my weight loss using tomorrow morning's weight as a starting point (rather than Wednesday's) which I will convert to lbs and stones.
This chart comes with stickers so every Monday morning I will weigh myself and cover up the amount of lbs lost on the chart in the previous week
I'm planning to see someone special on Monday 25th June - going on a trip for a week together - so I have 12 weeks exactly from tomorrow to lose as much weight as possible. I wonder how much that'll be
Also said person met me when I weighed exactly 94kg (I remember because it was the 1st time we met and I was super duper nervous...and it was exactly 2 years ago today)
I can't believe I put on just shy of 40kg in 2 years
The last time we met I weighed 117kg...which was around start of last November
So now I reeeeaaally want to get as close to the 94kg mark as is humanly possible by June 25th.
