Reggie, Thanks for the reply. If you have short term disability try to rest, and do your walking for another week, it will help. If you have an incision you dont want that to open or get a hernia. Are your shakes sugar free and low carb? Aitkins makes some good ones I found at GNC store. I like the Healthy choice soups, yogurt and cottage cheese. I wish you the best, keep up the good work. Sue.

I have stalled too. Frustrating, isn't it?!? I'm 6 weeks out and only eating 200-300 cal. a day. It's just unthinkable to me that anyone could stall on that number of calories. I'm sure it's going to start up again soon. It's got to, right? Keep us posted. Carol

Hi Sue, We have the same re-birthday. Nice to meet you. I haven't posted here before. I usually post on the Washington boards. Glad to have found this one though. How are you doing? I lost 40 lbs pre-op and during the 1st month but during this last week, I have stalled. I have spoken with my Nutri and she says to not worry about it but...well, it just hard to give up those old habits. I know it will happen but I'm anxious. I have the same problem with dry meats. Funny though, I can eat dry grains but not meat. I loose them everytime. I'm still eating on 3-4 TBS at a meal myself. I'm OK with that though. As for exercise, I kind of swing back and forth from doing really well to not enough. It's been raining and I'm having trouble getting myself out to walk. Maybe tonight. Good luck, Carol

I am almost 4 weeks post-op and wondering on average how many calories I should be consuming a day. I went to fitday.com and put in what I had ate so far today. It is a pretty cool website. I just wondered what most people were getting in calorie wise.

almost 6 weeks out. Energy is coming back, but I go to bed early, 9pm. Still can only eat 3-4 tbls each "meal" and trying to get all tha****er in. I did throw up last evening on some fish that I had baked and was wonderful the first time, but must have dried out in the frig. I have to remember Eat Moist Foods!...or I clog. Back to exercise "walking" or anything ...I've been slacking...anyone else?
