April 2011 Sleevers: How's it going?

6 weeks post op:  Energy returned about 10 days ago mid a 2 1/2 week plateau.  Finally losing again this last week.  Eating regular food 2 to 3 oz at a time.  Eating a high concentration of soft things cause they seem to be the protein things:  eggs, beans, tuna, yogurt, cottage cheese.  This AM had my first half of an lite English Muffin with Cottage Cheese and butter.  Cool!  Still need two soy milk shakes a day to get in the required protein.  TG, I like them.  Nutritionist told me to add fruit to add good carb calories and to add some small amounts of other carbs.

Can't seem to get much over 1000 calories a day.  Light-headed only when I have had a busy day or haven't gotten in enuf calories.  Off Protonix: instead having a cup of tea in the AM to calm tummy.  Had a cheeseburger Friday for dinner.  Took one small real bite: then tossed bread out - ate half - put away for two hours and ate all but a small amount of it.   Was great! 

Exercise is my worst.  I have done some walking but very inconsistent.  Walked for a few hours through an art show this past weekend but not aerobic at all.  Going to FLA at end of month.  Will be in a house with a pool and a dog to walk so that will help.

Chewable vitamins upset my stomach and give me a weird rush (maybe B's).  Doing some reserach into what else I might take.  Thinking about trying to swallow pill supplements again.  Post surgery w/hiatal hernia fix I couldn't swallow any pills.
