Notes:

I actually awoke this morning at 4:30 starving and dizzy. I went and had about 4oz of orange juice and that helped. I felt weak and dizzy until 12 noon or so at which point those feeling went away and were replaced by a ravenous want of bad food. The entire afternoon was pretty much miserable for me, I did my best bury myself in my work. By the time I left work (4pm) and got on the train I was feeling numb. However, once I got home and had my last Atkin's shake I started to feel better. I actually felt pretty good. So, here I sit at 9:56pm and I am not sure how I feel, it could be that I am tired or it could be that my body wants solid food. One thing is for sure, I don't feel 100%. Tonight I am going to bring an orange juice/water mix to bed so that I can sip it during the night to stave off the morning dizzies. Anyhoo, I should be off to bed now. I am curious of my weight come tomorrow morning. Oh, I also have my pre-surgical visit tomorrow with the team. I believe they do an EKG, take blood, I meet the anesthesiologist, and the nurses.

Good Night.

  1. Keep at it Louis! You CAN do this! I'm proud and inspired by your determination. Regarding your dizziness...do your shakes have a large amount of protein? If not, you may want to reconsider the broth for protein.
