Not eating enough?

[anca 42]

Hi! I'm 7 weeks out and down 25 pounds. youpppppppiiiii!!!!!!!! But I have a concern...not eating enough. Today i had one Protein Shake in the morning and some salmon and mashed potatoes for supper( very little). Yesterday I had a Protein shake, one boiled egg and Water. I'm not really good at countinc calories, but I don't think they go as far as 1000 per day. is it bad! what should I do? I'm really not hungry.

Are others in the same boat as I am? Ohhhh...and I do elliptical 30 minutes 5- 6 times a week and walks with my 3 children almost daily.

I takes time to build yourself up. Try eating more often even though it is very little. I am out 5 months now and eat 5 to 6 times a day. end up with 60 to 70 grams of protin and abouot 700 to 800 calories. I am never hungary I go by my watch if I should eat.It seems like I am always either eating, drinking or excercising. LOL

I'm just 3 weeks out and I have a hard time eating - everything right now sits heavy - even the Protein Drinks are too sweet. I had a hard boiled egg this morning and it was so heavy, won't be doing that again. I just couldn't bring myself to eat the rest of the day. I know I need to. I got in less than 300 calories today and I know I need more.

At 3 weeks out I could barely eat 1 egg at a time. So try eating half...I know it's kind of hard to stop eating right now, but you'll get used. Yeah I know what you mean when you say the shakes are too sweet, but eventually things will get better for us. KEEP IT UP!!!!!!

It took me about 2 1/2 months or so to even get up to 500 calories a day. Just do your best and focus on staying hydrated, that is the most important.

I am 4 months out now and most days, still only get 700-900 calories. It is hard to eat that much.

You will be fine.
