Feeling weak. I have had low blood sugar now for a couple of days and am starting to feel it affect my daily life. I feel impatient and weak. Should I throw in a protein shake, or increase my calories? I find it hard to get 1,000 calories into my body some days. (Lost a total of 25 lbs in five weeks.) Suggestions?

First Week After First Fill (and Another Picture Lol)
Angela the Breeder commented on legnarevocrednu's blog entry in legnarevocrednu's Blog
I had my first fill yesterday and feel the SAME thing. As soon as I eat it's like stuff is just sitting there...in my chest. Guess I need to chew better. Congrats on the losses! Good job! -

Does Anyone Else Eat Sugar Free Protein Bars?

Thanks Ready! That 27g of sugar alcohols was staring out at me like a red sore! So I've decided I'll do a half of one per day until they're gone. I've gotten so many good suggestions I'll just plan better the night prior. I appreciate your two cents. NEVER bossy! It's helpful! -

You all have some great info here. Thank you. To answer the questions, these bars are filling and yes, buy me four to five hours of satisfaction. Definitely NOT a snack. As for my work hours, I own the company. There's just SO much to do Mon - Fri that I literally can't get away from my desk. When I get home, I raise rare cats that require a lot of work, hours and attention. I still allot for 60 hours of cardio each afternoon. The nuts I bought were oven roasted plain almonds. No added salts or sugars or seasonings. Now I'd worry about the fats in them. I've tried the Protein shots but 1) found they tasted like plastic and 2) they didn't satisfy my appetite. I found that they're great if it's late in the night and I missed dinner. The protein bars I chose are Met-RX Protein Plus, loaded with Vitamins and minerals, so I believe they're very good for me. What just scares me is the 320 number. I try not to make any of my three daily meals add up to such a high number. So if I'm eating such a low calorie diet, and working out aggressively, am I throwing myself into starvation mode? I lost 20 pounds in 30 days, but feel I've stalled. -
Happy New Year LB Family. Looking forward to seeing "less" of you a year from now!

Thanks for the advice Elcee. Unfortunately, I don't even have fifteen minutes to heat something up while working. (I work two full-time jobs.) I am wondering if 320 calories is too much to eat at a sitting. Or do the numbers just look "off". FYI, my doctor said absolutely NO nuts. (I found this out after I bought a five pound bag of roasted almonds.) -

Okay, I'm a busy, busy woman. I find making time to eat almost impossible once I get to work. So I've gravitated towards Protein bars. Met-Rx has a high protein sugar free 320 calorie bar that has 32 grams of protein in it. (And only 2g of sugar) They taste delicious, thus I keep thinking they must be really bad for me. (Like everything else I love.) Anyone have experience with them? Or do the numbers looks really bad and make you want to run away? (Banded 11/29/11 - down 20 pounds) -
I am at a stall. I had surgery one month ago. Down 20 pounds. I eat about 1000-1200 calories daily, and ride my bike at 21MPH for one hour six days a week. My clothes are feeling wonderful with muscles tightening up everywhere. But I feel the scale should be showing a bigger loss. A fear for me is could I be eating too little calories? I'm afraid that my body is thinking that it's in starvation mode and holding onto what I eat. FYI - my calories are 80% protein. Less than 10g of sug...

My Lap Band Was Removed After 2 Weeks...

Who was your doctor? It's a huge fear of mine that something will go wrong and I'll go upside tens of thousands of dollars trying to repair an unforeseen problem.
