calorie intake low
I had my checkup the other day and specifically asked the surgeon how many calories I should be getting in at this point. she said 1000. I said i was sure I wasnt getting half of that in, she said she thought I probably was so I started keeping track on fit day again and a typical day is more like 450 cal so guess I will up them a bit and see if the weight comes off any quicker. I am right on target as far as all the charts go so not to worried either way and my labs were super.

she said I was doing good. I wasnt trying to go that low in calories, I do alot of that carb master yogurt and eggbeaters so that might count for the low calories and the higher protein.
I am making a attempt to add a bit more calories as this may be why I stall out so often. I really thought I got a bit more than what I am but knew there was no way I got the 1000-1200. I guess I just need to add my snacks back in because I cannot eat more at a sitting than what I do.
I also need to pick up my exercise a bit more. have slacked these past 2 weeks because of lower back pain.

Renee, this is the first time I have got anything except the water and protein. I specifically asked her on the calorie bit. She usually has me tell her what a typical day is and then makes suggestions. I told her tomatoe soup for lunch and she said that was 200 cal for a serving, I said not the one I eat, it is 100 cal for a cup and I usually only get down 3/4. sugar content is not bad in progresso (I do fine with it) so thats when I said well exactly how many calories should I be getting in.
I know we are all following different doctors orders but it is nice to get some feedback from others.
