Topic: RE: Ugh Calorie Question
I don't have my one year followup appt for a few more weeks, but at my 9 month followup I tried to get my doctor to tell me how many calories I should be eating. Back then he told me to not worry about counting calories and that my job was to focus on getting in my protein, water, vitamins and to make sure I was eating something every 3-4 hours to ward off low blood sugar (was having problems with dizziness). Of course I see both him and the nutritionist on the next visit so maybe at one year out they'll give me more of a calorie range to shoot for.
It's interesting to see what everyone else is being told by their doc, but it does make sense that we need to eat so that our metabolism doesn't slow down. Kinda makes me wonder if I should work on upping mine to see if it helps any, especially since I've been working on trying to do more exercise?
Keep us posted on how you do after increasing the calories.

Topic: RE: One Year Ago Today....
Thanks for sharing your story Dianne, you are an inspiration to the rest of us!
I agree with you about how great our little forum is here on the January board.....none of the nastiness and drama of the main board. I mainly lurk on several other forums on OH but this is the only one where I regularly post. Just wish more people would post or that some of the old regulars would visit more often! We need to keep this board active folks!!
