Sorry to hear you're frustrated. Are you drinking enough and getting in your Protein? Maybe your body is going into starvation mode???

[hicktownchick 2]

Im trying too drink 64oz of Water a day , i think im getting enuff Protein. How do i get my body outta starvation mode???

Trying just get my Protein in is a challenge.

[hicktownchick 2]

Is this another thing im gonna fail at???

Just try your best that's all we can do. Failure shouldn't be in your vocabulary... Keep positive thoughts.

Like mralottolose said, STAY POSITIVE!!!! you have come this far you can do it. Just try your best to get your fluids and Protein in. If you're having trouble talk to your dr about it, they are there to help you. How about exercise, how are you doing with that? You can do this!!!!

Start tracking everything you put in your mouth. liquids have calories too. Some shakes are almost 200 calories each. Drink your Water. And start walking! If you do nothing else, at least walk. It will come off, promise!

I was done on the 16th I know all docs are different but mine wanted me on more food and less Protein Shakes. I probably eat 2x as much food as you in a day minus the shakes. A lot of chicken.< /p>
