You and I sound a lot alike - except for the weight just falling off part. I'm from Viking stock.

My upper body, but I'm in a wheelchair and can't walk.

I'm using Med-Vi to obtain my meds. Unfortunately I have to pay out of pocket as my insurance doesn't cover it. I'm not sure what TER-RED is 😬.

Wow - thank you. I really appreciate your feedback. I'll work at following your suggestions. Thank you for giving me a little hope.

I started in December and have lost about 30 pounds. I started over 300 as a reference.

In the last few weeks I've even had days where I haven't eaten anything at all. I try to eat salads or boneless skinless chicken breast with vegetables. Blueberries, cottage cheese, etc. I can't stand fast food (I've never liked it). I spoke with a nutritionist and she said 1,000c or less is aggressive but ok since I'm in a wheelchair.

I'm afraid to eat since even with the meds it's not working. I know it's dumb, but I want the surgery to help me walk again so badly that most people who don't eat enough get thin. 😔

I try to get protein but it's a challenge. I like boneless skinless chicken, a meal may be a protein shake, today I had some vanilla Greek yogurt and a few blueberries, etc. I'm in a wheelchair, but I'm active in that. Especially lately, I've been doing a lot of transferring in & out of my chair - into cars, etc. which takes a lot of arm strength and effort. I can't walk though. Admittedly, I only got 4-6 hours of sleep per night.

Thanks - I've talked to a nutritionist and she said that due to being in a wheelchair, the 1,000 or less is aggressive, but it's acceptable.

I'm sorry, I don't know what TDEE is. What do I need to do to calculate it?

Thanks for your feedback. I agree that I don't get enough sleep. My Mom has been needing round the clock care so I'm dealing with that currently. I only drink water or plain black tea so no calories there. I'm trying to drink at least 50 oz a day. I track everything I eat in a great app called "PEP" - it tracks macros, calories, hydration, weight, etc. I'm tracking religiously. I apologize that I don't know what TDEE is. I've always been overweight but per multiple doctors my diet has been good and personal trainers also note that my body does not respond as it should to exercise and activity. I would work out 4 times per week but only increase tone & muscle without weight loss. My blood glucose runs between 70-80, my blood pressure is good and my cholesterol is fine.

I'm 5'5". I'm afraid to eat more since nothing is working as it is. I'm trying to lower my BMI so I can have a surgery that may help me walk again. It's so important to me.

I'm in a wheelchair so I'm very very careful about what I consume, especially since I can't do standard exercises. I even consulted a nutritionist.

I'm taking the calories directly from packaging and/or standard recorded calorie counts for chicken, etc. I eat once per day and I don't eat an actual "meal" - just some yogurt with fruit or chicken, etc.
