Saw the Nut

Hi everyone well yesterday I went to see the dietician and we figured I am getting 1100 calories and about 50 grams of protien and has now upped my calorie intake to 1400 and 100 grams protien and thinks I can kick in my metabolism slowly and should see some weight loss.does not want me to go below 1200 calories and only go 1200 when I do not exercise.Basically add a shake to my diet. She said that when we go to low calories your body does not want to lose weight and goes into starvation mode so now we are gonna slowly add more calories. She said alot of gastric pts do not eat enough protien to lose weight why it is so important to test for pre-albumin and protien level which I was low on both but said I should start seeing weight loss soon. I am feeling pretty good and I am no longer gaining.. seems odd to eat more to lose weight. I have more energy when I started eating more protien.I feel inspired again and when I READ EVERYONES SUCESS STORIES I feel inspired.I maybe a lap bander but losing weight is same issue no matter what and a stall is a stall and loss is a loss.Dying to be a loser LOL Lisa

Well I am glad to hear you finally got some results and answers....Hang in there baby cakes

It will have to be baby steps for me I am on a thin type rope now and I feel I COULD fall off this.. I have to be strong but I am so nervious seeing the doc as I WILL BE HEAVIER THEN LAST TIME I went in Ugh ..Gotten to the point I do not even want my husband to go to my apt. HE PART OF MY PROBLEM NOT SOLUTION TO THIS WEIGHT loss!!!! ack!!!!!

That is great news Lisa, I am glad you went to the nutritionist. It is weird to eat more to lose more, but I agree, we need that protein to get our bodies working on losing! We ain't done yet Hugs, Inky
