Well, darn it, I'm stuck! You all warned me, but it was too late lol. I lost 21 pounds my first 3 wks. on byetta and thought that the lower I dropped my calories, the faster and more I would lose (like someone who has had gastric bypass and CAN NOT eat and loses tremendously fast). I started out great and the more I lost, the less I wanted to eat. After reaching an average of 700 calories (sometimes less), my wt. loss stopped. I guess I freaked out my body and it thought it was going to starve to death, which is what you all told me. UGH So now I'm trying to take in 800-900 calories, although I was off work yesterday and had close to 1100. I'm scared to death if I start having around 1000 calories like everyone tells me then I'll gain back some of what I lost, which is the story of my life!! Help! I could use encouragement! Thanks!!
