Well I do have at least one protein shake a day 20gms of protein 90 calories but still not getting enough. I bought the glucerine shakes they are like 210 cal 10gms of protein so I am now doing one of each every day to see if it will help. I don't think 900 calories is realistic right now. I did get to 680 today I think which is good for me but only 48gms of protein so I might have to have a shake later. I might have to try the vitalady shakes right now I've been using uninjury which are very good I tried some of the samples from vitalady and liked them but figured we needed less calories so I went to the uninjury. Thanks for the advice

Oh no, I haven't even begun packing yet. In fact we just went and got some more luggage on Tuesday, and now we have enough. We did get our itinerary, and we will leave at 6:35 A.M. on August 1.It makes sense, that you might get light headed from taking in too few callories. My suggestion is that you try some protein shakes. I got some Champion products from vitalady.com that I like pretty well. Right now my favorite is to mix a scoop and a half of Champion strawberry with some Splenda, a Hood carb countdown yogurt, about six ounces of diet Orange Slice--blending it gets the fizz out--and I add a few ice cubes. It is really creamy and good and has around 200 callories. I also have another shake with just water and a little half and half that's low carb, and I usually eat two meals a day, one

of which is a salad. I'd guess I probably take in about a thousand calories, but am not sure. I iknow I am losing weight again, though slowly. I exercise for half an hour, every morning the first thing when I get up. That time is spent on my ellipt8ical crosstrainer, and then I walk most days as well. My plan to join Curves sort of went by the wayside, since I am going to Arkansas and just don't feel like messing with it. Fortunately for me, they do have a gym at the school, and I hope it has some decent equipment. That's all for now. Be well, and try to take in enough calories. I never knew that the gall bladder medication could make you feel lightheaded. LaWanda At 09:03 AM 6/17/05, you wrote:>Hi LaWanda>Did you make it to the meeting last night?
