Still losing weight...
Okay I have posted about this before but I have my period and still managed to lose another 4lbs. HELP!! I am freaking out. I did call the doctor and she told me to keep my protein goals to 70grams. I am getting worried as I am not doing anything differently. Infact for the first time today I went to Chick Filet and ordered Waffle fries and maybe had two fries but they are making me sick. Don't get me wrong I am not trying to stablize my weight by eating bad but I felt like I wanted a couple of those fries today.
I started the morning with Yogurt and Kashi Cereal. A handful of trail mix and for lunch I was only able to down half of the chicken sandwich and literally 2 fries. I don't even want to think about dinner as I have been working late at work and usually end up just drinking a glass of milk before going to bed. Do you think I am not getting enough calories??
Oh BTW my 5 year old daugther was helping me put away laundry last night and she saw my underwear and told me "Mommy that is one big underwear". LMAO. It is a size 6 undies for god's sake. Anyway sorry for rambling on and on but I am seriously freaking out here and don't want to keep bothering the doctor with these kinds of question every two weeks. Any suggestions??

I can only account for about 650 cals. tops so far in your day via Fitday. That's not a whole lot. If you want to maintain you'll probably need to do about 1300-1500, especially if you are working out which you do. Of course you are still losing. And, might I say, I'm flippin jealous as all get out! (Sorry, I know this is hard for u, not minimizing your frustrations ;-) Eat up, girlfriend!

Shilpa, honey, you need to eat more!!! FOR REAL!!! You're definitely not getting in enough calories. I really didn't do anything different than what I had been doing...well, maybe I started eating a little more, but basically my weight stopped. Thank goodness, because as with you, I was freaking out and didn't want to lose any more.
I seriously would eat more. Get in as many meals as you can. I was never one to do the 5 or 6 meal thing EVER!! But I did start to become more hungry and so I probably eat 4 or 5 times a day now as opposed to 2 or 3 before. Just up your calories and the amount of times you're eating a day and you should be fine. xoxo

Hi. I'm only 3 months into the post-RNY life, but it seems to me that the veterans are on to something about getting enough calories. I know how busy the day can get, but I really force myself to make sure and get my three meals in a day -- even if I am too busy. The three meals seem to be so critical for general sustenance. Plus, are you having a small snack mid-morning or late afternoon? Perhaps a tasty peanut protein bar might work -- a low sugar, high protein variety. Good luck stabilizing your weight! Warm wishes, r
