Ketosis has set in! - Lightheaded question
No hunger pains today! It was a rough 3 days coming into this 4th day let me tell you.
I was wondering something, I took a walk yesterday to take my mind off the hunger and was a little lightheaded I'm assuming from the lack of calories. I now worry after surgery when I'm only able to get in 400-600 calories am I going to be lightheaded? If so will it last or is it sort of an adjustment period?
Now that I'm so close the questions are really coming up haha!
Make sure you're drinking enough water. I added that liquid Crystal Light to my water and Opti. Try and get all 4 drinks in if you can. It'll help. I actually found once ketosis kicked in I had ridiculous energy. I was walking for miles every day with my water jug in hand. Getting the sugars out of my system felt awesome. Hang in there.
I'm just a few days out, and doing fine energy wise. Sure I'm tired a bit, but just had major surgery so there's that. lol.
You're almost there. I'm excited for ya!!
