I know I'm not eating enough, I'm just not hungry. Oh well, I may have to force myself to eat. The good news is I found out that Decaf iced tea is something my body loves to drink. I drink about 26 oz of it a day currently (and it counts as Water for me). I'm also looking into a gym to get my exersize in.

Hey PJ! I talked to my NUT today. She said once our bodies get that basal or rock bottom amount of calories needed to function THEN our bodies will let the pounds go. I guess my body thinks I'm trying to kill it so it's in survival mode. My basal calorie intake was 1,300 before I lost any weight. I just have to keep reminding myself that this is a marathon if weight loss, not a sprint. BTW I have trouble getting my fluids in too. If I get fluids in then protien is low that day. If I eat better then my Fluid intake is low. Go figure!

Since I know I'm not eating enough, when I do eat, it's always Protein. Deli meat and/or cheese. What a boring diet. Oh, I recently threw in some shrimp. My PA did not want me doing the Protein Drinks after my 4 weeks' visit and I do get 64 ounces of Water. At month three, they do a test to check on any Vitamin deficiencies and stuff, so I have some time for my body to adjust. I think the surgery shocked it.

PJ......I'm there with you! Not getting protein/water in like I should. I know this has to be a priority of mine as I'm sure I would be feeling a little more energetic than I am after 5 weeks. I also have to SLOW DOWN when I do eat! Tonight....not so good. Too fast and my tummy let me know by bringing it back up :-( Not something I want to happen on a regular basis!

I know how you feel about the deli meat. Have you tried tuna? I even threw in a couple jalapeño slices with the fat free mayo. My tummy liked it
