is there any place on this site?

Is there any place on this site that talks about caloric intake... I read through all my docs papers & found nothing past the first 6 weeks - have asked you guys the question - about how many calories we should eat - & have gotten a couple of different answers- since I don't have an appointment to see my for another month & am really really concerned - I was wondering if you guys knew of a site or a place on here that talks about what our daily intake should look like - I think I might be grazing - & I'm NOT loosing any pounds... been more than a few weeks... Think I might be making VERY bad decisions - Calories are avering between 1,000 - 1,200 per week I also need to know info about how much calcium B-12 & the right type of vitamin for maximum absorption - feeling a littel tired lately & have achy muscles & bones - A little concerned.

Pam, Check out thinnerself.com! My doctor gave us 3 options for taking vitamins: I hope this is helpful!! Option 1: Optisource multivitamins chewable 4x day, B12 1200mcg sublingual (under tongue) at least 1x week or B12 monthly shot, B1 1x a day Option 2: Any multi (ie Centrum Adult Chewable) 2x a day, Calcium Citrate 600mg w/Vit D, Iron once a day (unless supplied in Vitamin), B12 sublingual 1x a week or shot monthly. Vitamin B1 1x day Option 3: Bariatric Advantage Program-(purchase online) Chewable multi 2x day, Calcium 2x day, Chewable iron 1x a day, B12 1x a week or shot monthly!! I follow Option 2 with added calcium and other vitamins! I feel great!! I take: (4) 500m Calcium citrate w/D pills a day (1) B 12 every other day 1200mcg (2) Chewable Mutivitamins (1) Iron (1-2) Biotin 1500 mg (1) Magnesium 275mg (1) CoQ 10 (1) Super B Complex I eat anywhere from 750-1000 calories a day.

Pamela, I was told that during the 1st year I would be consuming no more than 800 to 1000 calories a day. I have lost 102 lbs since Nov 1st and I'm still losing. For snacks I eat Jello sugar free/fat free instant pudding, I omit pasta potatoes,rice and breads, I may take a spoon full of rice or potatoes with a meal but no more. I also eat about 6 melba toast rounds with tea. I eat mostly fish, chicken, and turkey and ground beef either in chilli or hamburger. (cheese burger). When I want to stop losing weight, I will notice the number of calories I am consuming and increase them until I maintain my weight. The nutritionist told me that 2 Viactive chewable calcium tablets, plus 1 Centrum chewable daily vitamin, and I take something called Trivita which is a sub-lingual (under the tongue) tablet that provides 1000 mcg Vitamin B-12, 400 mcg folate (as folic acid) and 5 mg of B-6 along with 25 mcg or biotin. You don't have to use Trivita, I order through the mail and it is relatively expensive. You can get those quantities of vitamins in a health food store, or drug store. Hope this is helpful.
