Your meal plan you described above sounds the most sensible of anything I have read on here. Congratulations on your success!! Can you comment on how much you exercised and what you did?? Prior to P90X....I'm not quite ready for that! Thanks....

See I cant eat that much even if i wanted to. I get this horrible presurre at the very back of my throat at the 2 or 3 spoonfull of fish, meat or chicken. So I stop eating. At first I was keeping a log of everything i put in my mouth and i was still not losing weight so when i went to the dr for my fill he told me im stressing out too much and to stop with the log. Well i was less stressed out because i wasnt using the journal but still no weight loss. I will start the journal again, however I really dont have a clue as to what amt of anything i should be eating. How many calories a day do you think i should start with and Protein per day? I was thinking of consuming more Protein shakes and getting some Protein Bars, any you recommend?

Oh. Maybe you're too tight? I don't know. I don't know much about fills because I've never had one..so I can't be of much help there, sorry! Odd, every surgeon I've seen has always urged people to log. As for calories I have no idea, it varies from person to person. For instance I lost on 800 calories, 1200 calories, then had a long long long stall until I finally hit 1800 calories, and then the scale started to move again.

As for protein, I'd go no lower than 80g a day. Invest in a food scale as I mentioned. They're ~$20, not too expensive. For protein bars I stick to Pure Protein and Quest bars, not a fan of shakes, too nasty for my liking and liquids don't fill me up one bit. Go to a local GNC or Vitamin Shoppe and see what they have; buy some single protein bars and find one you like.

Haha, thanks klzahn! Hopefully it can be of some help to you. In the beginning I started off just walking. I'd add in small runs while walking, probably for less than 2-3 minutes at a time because I was still that big and out of shape. Before P90X I did Slim In 6, P90, and P90M. I did a little bit of Insanity but didn't like it too much. Nowadays I do P90X and run 2-3 miles a day. Definitely start out slow but work your way up. I'd never have imagined I'd go from barely being able to run to running nonstop for miles; amazing to me.
