Just in the last week or so though I've felt really hungry. My calorie intake has increased from 800/50 to 950/1000 most days. Just wondering how other folk are doing?
I go to the Y 3x's a week for water aerobics. Have lots more energy.

D.I.E.T. = Did I Eat Thoughtfully?
So I am doing pretty good hit my 6 months a few days back. I am still just as thankful today as I was when I had just lost 20lbs.
Still learning to use my tools from time to time. I've realized that when I am with people sometimes I just have to slip away and focus on me and not try to include my coworkers in meal time. If I include people I either eat something I am not suppose to or eat too much of it.
I had RNY on Feb5th.
I feel I'm a "slow looser" as well, however, I do notice inches changing on those weeks I'm not moving the scales.
I'm meeting with my NUT soon to go over my food logs as we think I'm too short on the cal intake, causing me to "shut down"
My exercise has been limited to walking and some swimming due to my joint issues.
My average protein intake is between 80-115grams a day- however, most of that has been through solid food protein vs. the whey protein powders. NUT is encouraging me to try to switch it up a bit, get more protein from the whey powders, less reliant on solid food for a few weeks to see if it jump starts me again.
Though slow, I feel great and I'm happy with the progress I've made-- no other time in my life have I lost over 50# in a 6 month period!
Encouraged to see I'm not facing the slow loss alone here.
