James you are right, I was used to eating a little bit of whatever I wanted and didn't gain anything. I did eventfully increase my calorie intake had no issues until now. I called my nutritionist and made a visit last week. We created new goals that were realistic to my current work situation and eating habits. I will attend the support meeting that the hospital has for current and former patients twice a month. I just don't want to slide back into my old eating ways completely. I am realizing that even though it was easy in the beginning to see the pounds fall off, that I must now focus on the stage I'm in now. Thanks for responding.

I would suggest you stay on the shakes until your Doc says your ready. I know it's a struggle but it's worth it. Hang in there and Congrats!

Check with your doctor because your Iron might be low. I experienced the same symptoms and had some blood work done, and that's what my doc said was wrong. It helped big time!
