NancyG 58 Posted September 8, 2013 Trust me' date=' I feel like a fatty eating so much more than everyone else here... ...until I remember that my journey is my own. What works for ME is what matters (along with my awesome doc's advice!). Good luck!![/quote'] I have found that I lose more when I eat around 1,000 calories. I was not given a calorie range and a really low Protein range (50-60 grams). The protein range seems extremely low to me so I don't worry too much when I exceed it.

SheWins1 207 Posted September 9, 2013 Are you taking B 12 shots? Once I started taking those me energy level has skyrocketed No , I don't do shots but the kind that dissolves. Maybe I should ask my primary doctor? I feel it's holding me back from excersiing. I get dizzy & see stars & feel faint. I even eat Protein before. Do u think the shots would be better? Do u do the shots yourself or does the doctor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is awesome you have lost 47 lbs . I completely agree I feel the same way some says and at times realize that unless you have gone through or are going through this journey you can not know what we go through with the "new me" I use the Internet for different shake ideas it really does make a difference since I can't seem to tolerate a lot of food but I'm working on it 1 SheWins1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can get it at Wal-Mart. You put it under your tongue for 30 seconds, but it is liquid instead of a tablet and it gives me a boost as well. My NUT told me to do that instead of B-12 dots because that is the B-Comples and B-12 all in one. Not sure if they have you taking a B-Complex or not, though.
