Low carb diet: woozy when I stand up

For all who responded: fortunately, this has passed. I guess it was just my body being a little shocked at the utter change in diet!

Yay! Yeah there is some trauma. Post op I had gone from 3-4 thousand calories of carby fatty heaven to initally about 200 cal of Protein and holy **** it was shocking!

I know! I have been hungry ALL the time.

Fortunately, my diet is not low-fat or low-calorie, just low-carb. I've discovered that skim milk string cheese are essentially zero grams of carbs and these have been my savior (plus sugar free Crystal Lite when I have a sweets craving; I never used to have sweets cravings until I couldn't have sweets any more!)

I have discovered a few things that are also yummy. I don't know what your carb limit daily is, but Mission carb balance tortillias have 18g carbs per entire tortillia, my trick has been to cut them in 1/4's and put hormel hot and spicy pepperoni and mozarella cheese on them. Then microwave them until the cheese is all melty. Gives me the pizza fix. It is higher in fat, but if you aren't focusing on that then it is just plain yummy!
