Stuck....

I have seen a doctor that deals with just Weightloss (no surgery) and at my visit he was happy with my food journal and how healthy I am. He figures that a genetic thing. And recommended the getting the surgery.

My meeting with the dietician yesterday she was very happy with my food choices and portions and honesty. She really didn't have any advice for me. She did decide to do a metabolic test for the next time I am in.

I am on my feet at work all time. I exercise 3 times a week along with gardening and working with horses and walking my dogs. And yet I still can't lose any weight.

What on earth am I going to do to lose my 10% that is required at the clinic I go to?

How many pounds is 10%? 

29lbs

Weigh and measure all of your food and drink and log in My Fitness Pal.  Figure out how to eliminate 1000 calories a day.   To maintain at 290 you are eating about 3000 a day.

You will lose 2 pounds a week and be at your 10% in 15 weeks.

My intake is 1200 calories. The dietician doesn't want me to go below 1200 calories. I do use my fitness pal. I drink 8-10 12oz of water a day.   

Try doing the liquid pre-op diet using Premier Protein shakes instead of Opti.  I lost 18lbs in the two weeks of Opti.  The liquid diet might get you there.

Where can I get the premier shakes? I do a 2 Protien shakes a day now with one meal and 2 snacks. 

You can buy premier protein shakes at Costco 

Thank you. 

I did 4 shakes a day with either a 1/2 cup of sugar free jello or a cup of broth
