Howdy! On opti, and so drained! No energy! Hope it goes up soon. I still have 4 weeks of it before surgery. How long did it take you to feel better on it? I know 900 cals won't support my body now, but I need energy!

Hoping keto kicks in and my body starts using fat for energy?

Just a girl trying to become a better ME. Healthier ME. Learning to be happy with ME and love ME. One day at a time.

I had keto flu early on and was sickly feeling for a couple of days and then I felt fine. I actually felt like I had more energy than typical. Everybody's different. Hang in there, it will get better.

I was hungry and cranky for the first couple of days. Then felt great!! Hope you're feeling awesome soon. :)
