WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!!   AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!!  THEY ARE ADDICTING!!  THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE!!  THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER!!
  
I talked to the NUT at my Surgeons office yesterday.  I've never met her, she must be new.  The only thing she really had an opinion on was why I was drinking so many Protein drinks and she told me not to use them for meals.   I told her I do use one for breakfast and I feel better when I drink them. She wanted to know how many calories they were each and she said that 90 calories, no carbs, or sugars sounded pretty good (Syntrax).  I had to ask her several times what she thought about calories, carbs and fats.  She finally asked me how many calories I was usually getting in and when I told her I was getting in between 1200-1300 calories she said that was good.  She said fats should be about 30% and carbs should be limited to fruit and vegetables.  So basically (on a good day) I guess I'm perfect........LOL

Are you supplementing with Vit A? Mine was also high and I was advised to decrease to one multi-vit/day. I don't supplement the vit A and thought maybe it was high due to my dairy intake.

Gail

Mine was high because I do supplement since I was low pre-op. She cut me back to 3 times a week. I had already cut back to 5 times a week so it may be accumulating. She's having me recheck in 3 months. Vitalady doesn't have to take any extra vitamin A either and hers stay near top of the range, I believe she said.
