So lots of changes.
First off. I weighed in at 170 last night so that made up for the half a pound I lost last week!
I went to see the PA again when I got to the class. It was a different PA...a smarter PA. I told her I was still getting dizzy and I was still cold. She looked at me and said how much do you weigh? I said 170. She said you don't have enough fat to burn to be on the 400 calorie shake...its as simple as that. I'm surprised you are still losing...usually your body goes back to storing fat at this point. You need to go on a higher calorie shake...the cold is low blood pressure. You can have 2 soups in lieu of shakes...you need to do that. Don't add soy sauce just eat the soup. It was a simple as that.
So I went and got the shakes (1 chocolate, 1 vanilla, 1 strawberry) and the soups (1 garden tomatoe and 1 creamy chicken).
I had my first shakes and soups today. I have a TON of energy, I'm not hungry at all and I'm not cold! I rode my bike (stationary) another 11 miles last night. I'm excited. I don't care if this slows down my weight loss I feel great! The first shake was vanilla. I put my cinnamon tea and caramel syrup in it and had it for breakfast...it was thicker like the consistency of cake batter and it tasted like cake batter! Then I had my strawberry with the raspberry tea...eh. It was good but nothing to write about...I'm going to try strawberry banana tomorrow. Then I had my soup! It was thick and tasted like canned tomato soup, a bit bland for my taste so I added chipotle powder and YUM!!!!! Then I had my chocolate peanut butter, but I added a squirt of chocolate syrup...I'm leaving the chocolate syrup out next time. I have the creamy soup later tonight. I can't wait! They said I could have a bar (like an optifast candy bar) instead of a soup or shake...I don't want that. Chewing and swallowing is too much like eating and I know me...I'd be tempted to chew and swallow other foods!
So that's the deal. Exciting!

YAY! Glad you're liking the change. So That makes sense that your body is saying, hey...400 isn't enough any more.
Now you're on the 800 cal shakes? I don't think you said it in the post, but I think that's what's happened, right?
glad the PA you talked to isn't a goober. I figured the cold was low blood pressure. Didn't you say that John was checking the pressure, and it was ok?
Chocolate syrup? Is that allowed? Sounds like a jackpot! Why wouldn't you want to use it?
And you feel great because the carbs are giving you energy? Or because you aren't dizzy and cold, or both?
I'm happy you're happy!
BTW, what's a purple card?
TTYL.
Yes I get a total of 5 shakes each are 160 calories (totaling 800 calories per day) They used to be 80 calories.
John was checking my BP, but he didn't know what was normal for me. The PA at the center checked my medical record and noted that it was very low.
Chocolate syrup is actually Torani sugar free chocolate syrup, but I don't think its the syrup its the chocolate powder. I'm going to get vanilla next week and add chocolate syrup to it.
I feel better because my body did not have enough fat stored to sustain me so I was starving. That is why I was dizzy and cold, now with the extra calories I'm fine.
Purple card is like a do whatever you want card. In England if a wife gives her husband a purple card it means he can spend the entire night out with his mates no guilt trip or fights about it later.
