Am I the only one NOT having trouble getting in enough water and calories?

Dawn.. I am getting in about 90-100 oz of water a day...including my milk in the morning. I fight to get in 700 calories a day..my docs office said since I exercise so much if I don't get in that many calories I will not lose or plateau....so I keep track on fitday.com and it really helps...the nutritionist said I need more calories so I will talk to my docs office on Tuesday when I go for my app't and ask them...rite now I can't imagine eating more food. The problem is like today when I worked out I burned off about 400 calories...so if I am only taking in 700, what does my body have to live on??? So many questions.... I think I remember that your pouch is slightly bigger than the usual..is that correct? Have you asked your doc what calorie # he/she suggests you to be at rite now? I know it is so different with each person. Best of Luck to you!!! Jenn

Jenn, Since I am a revision, my Doc made my pouch about 3-4oz. He didn't want to do anything to mess up my stoma. When I was in the hospital, the nut came in to see me and she wanted me to eat around 1200 calories a day. I am eating that or less every day but it freaks me out because everyone else eats so much less. Anyway, if I could just lose 10lbs a month I would be very happy. Hugs, Dawn

OMG!! We are ALL in the same boat. What do we do? I drink a Boost in the morning for breakfast. Then I drink about 20 oz of water. Maybe at break time I have a triangle of "laughing cow" cheese with a few crackers. Then I came home today. Ate 3 miniture peanut butter cups, 2 oreo cookies and 6 ounces of orange soda (flat of course). That is all that I have had. I went to the gym for an hour and ran and peddled three miles. Felt great. But not real hungry. How does a person eat the required 500 or 1000 or 1500 calories? I will be 8 weeks out this coming Wednesday, and I have lost about 47 pounds. I went from a size 24 to a size 18 (went shopping this weekend). So I must be losing inches, but what about the weight? Dawn.... this is so difficult. I'm with you. I am so worried. Lets just hang in there together, huh!! Love Terri

Hi guys! I am in the same boat as all of you. I just don't get it. I have lost 32lbs. so far, but NOTHING in the last 2 1/2 weeks. WHAT THE H*LL IS GOING ON!!! ugh.............
