I'm eating about 600-800 calories a day and exercising 4-5 days a week for an hour. Combination of strength and cardio. I'm a lightweight so I'm only losing about 2-3lbs a week...12-15 since surgery but I'm losing steadily and exercise helps. I eat a variety of foods at this stage including meat and have no problems. I eat mainly all Protein and about 1/4 cup or 2oz per meal.

2-3 lbs a week is great. For a couple of weeks I only lost 1 lb. and one week I lost nothing. I just really started doing more exercising. Before I was only walking for about 30 mins twice a week. Now I'm doing step aerobics about 3 times a week. I'm trying to do more but find it hard to get it in. I admire you for exercising so much. As far as eating goes. I eat eggs, yogurt, cheese, chicken, and my Protein Drinks. and that pretty much seems like all I eat everyday. I need to look up some recipes or something. I just don't feel like cooking me anything since I only eat a small amount of it. I am also struggling to get in my Water. I only drink a total of about 30 ozs a day and that includes a 20 oz Protein Drink. I don't seem to like the taste of water anymore.

Me too! Me and Water aren't the best of friends now. I get in all my Protein from food but struggle with water. I have a Pinterest board called low carb recipes. It has been a godsend. You can follow me www.pinterest.com/rashanawright

Ok. I just followed you. I will definitely look into some of the recipes before I burn myself out on dairy. Lol. I saw that you are into essential oils. I recently started using oils for my kids.

Yes we use essential oils for everything! I even used them to help me recover post op. I put some anti-inflammatory oils in my Water in the hospital to help ease the stomach inflammation so I could get my liquids down. I had really tight restriction.
