Topic: RE: Not technically a plateu
Hang in there girl it will start to fall off again! I was at a stand still for a couple of weeks and it has started coming off again. I think our bodies sometimes have to slow down and adjust. Don't stress and don't jump on the scale everyday! 209 to 211 is probably fluid not "real" weight. Have great day and hang in there!!
Topic: RE: how much food!
Hi Katie funny you should ask I was wondering to ....So i called the dietician at my doctors office and asked the same question. They told me that at this point we should be getting 1000 to 1300 calories per day. You should stick with your protien and vitamins and aviod too many carbs and fried food and sugar. Sounds like you are doing a great job!!! I am almost 100 lbs. down since Feb. 15th. She also told me about a calcium supplement that has calcium citrate you can order on line or by phone from a company called Bariatric Advantage they have a web site by the same name. I ordered the cinnominn lozenges. Their number is 1-800-898-6888. A package of 60 was 16.90 with shipping.
She really stressed to the importance of the vitamins and the protien. I have still been going on 500 to 600 calories per day and she said that was not enough. Now thats a new twist!!!! I have never in my life been accused of not eating enough!!
Keep up the excellent work!!!! You are doing GREAT!!!

WOW!!! What a weight loss. Can't wait until I break 100 pounds. I have about 23 pounds to go.
What do I eat... I try to eat every two to three hours. But I fail miserably at it! Especially on the weekend. 
Here is what I have been trying to eat this week.
B - 16 oz of Hot Mint Green Tea
S - Yogurt or Hard Boiled Egg
L - 1/2 of a sandwich (SF Wheat Bread, RoastBeef or Ham with Hot Pepper cheese.) or just the meat and cheese. If not full, I have some cottage cheese.
S - Nuts or something like that
D - What ever the family eats (Like tonight I had Enchilada Casserole. Tried not to eat the corn tortilla but I did have two Dorito's. 
)
S - Pumpkin Seeds or Popcorn.
