I'm in a bit of a stall.  I haven't been able to get below 240 for about 2 weeks.  With the stricture I was taking in very little food and water and I had NO ENERGY.  I think my body just decided to shut down.  Now that the stricture's been taken care of I'm hoping that with an increase in exercise and an increased intake of food and protein that I'll start to lose again.

Dr. Hill doesn't seem concerned so I won't be, either.

I saw both the nutritionist and Dr. Hill yesterday.  He seemed pleased.  The nutritionist said I got off track with the stricture, which I knew.  I'm going to have to slowly work my way back towards solid foods.  I tried a scrambled egg for breakfast today and it did not agree with me.  I think I got down two bites and then had to stop.  The nutritionist also said no soups.  Soups were one of the few things I could tolerate.  I understand why, it is mixing liquid and solid and she wants me moving toward solid food.  Oh well.

So - slow and steady wins the race, right?
