Hi Donna,

I had chicken too. What is a pepper waffer?

~Becky

I like these...Not big and balky like bread...

Oh those look great. Unfortunately for me I can't eat anything with grain or multi-grain. I am gluten intolerant it seems.

But I bet other people will be looking for those crackers!!!

I don't think you are eating enough. What is wrong with dairy?

Your body is going to think you are starving it (which you are) and is going to hold on to every ounce it can hold on to.

You need more calories. Your RnY will work if you keep your carbs low and watch your fat.

I really hope you will talk to your NUT about getting on a little higher calorie here. I'm worried about you. Starvation diets don't work. There is plenty of science to show that.

I've become lactose intolerate so i'm trying to cut out dairy since it makes me sick for the most part. My calories are usually only this low on days that I am basically sedentary.

I've become lactose intolerant also. A whole new world for me. Fortunately cheese doesn't have much if any lactose in it so it doesn't give me any problems. I can also eat Greek Yogurt which is great because it is low in cals and fat but high in protein.

Here's an article about lactose v. milk intolerance. Maybe something in it will be helpful.

Rebecca, some people are lactose intolerant, some are whey intolerant, and some seem to react to dairy protein even in very small amounts (casein intolerance).  Don't knkow why though!  My oldest daughter breaks out into hives even if she has the smallest amount of cheese, so I have a small idea what you're going through!

A little concerned about your posting several days of low calorie count, though, even if you're sedentary.  Does your doctor know about this? I'm glad to see the protein up to 100, but perhaps you could be taking in more fat?

Stillman's diet produced problems, though I don't like to "bash" any plans.  High protein in conjunction with low fat tends to cause problems.  Might be okay for a few days to break a stall, but in the long run it can set a person up for resistance to weight loss (going into starvation mode).
