So you asked in your comment if the program peeps are okay with me jumping back and forth to 800 then 400...I'll get to that.
So I walk in last night and say I'd like to go to 70 (that's what they call the 400 cal one) They say you need to talk to the doctor. So before I do I jump on the scale just to see if I making much ado about nothing or something. If I lost 3 pounds or more I'll stay on the 800. On the scale I go...171. Are you fucking KIDDING ME?! I gained a pound!? Off I marched to see the doctor...no such luck I got the quack P.A that diagnosed me with vertigo. DAMMIT! Knock Knock though. I explain I want to go back to the 70 shakes. "Well why were you on the 800?" I explain that 2 weeks ago I was feeling dizzy and cold...I had even spoken to her about it, but I guess she didn't recall "Well how do you feel now?" she asked. I pause then answer "I FEEEL great, but I'm pretty pissed off. I haven't lost an ounce since I started the 800 in fact I gained! To top it off I AM STARVING ALL THE TIME!" She says "Have you been dizzy?" No. She asked "Have you been cold?" Nothing out of the norm I answer. Then she says, "Well it seems to be working. How would it work if we left you on the 800?" I answered "Its not working and I don't know how it would work because if I can't go back to the 70 shakes tonight I'm leaving...there is no way I'm paying $125 a week and starving myself one more week just to come back and see I gained another pound or LORD help US 2!" Her eyes got big and she quickly faced the computer and began typing. I was stretching my neck to see what she was typing. She was authorizing the 70 shakes. I said...I have more I want to discuss before you put that in. She keeps typing but her eye brow goes up. I see her typing that to help with the cold and dizziness patient will have 6 shakes instead of 5. I say "that's what I wanted to talk to you about! I'd like to have an extra shake and 2 of the broth soups" She says "oh yes you can." I stop. "Wait were you going to just put that in my record without discussing that option with me first?" She didn't answer but kept typing. "I said I don't appreciate that. I'm here to lose weight, but more important I'm here to get healthy...I don't like feeling bad. I think I have an idea what I need and I'm old enough that you can talk to me about what I need and I can take it into consideration" She answered, "You're all set, you can do the 70 shakes with one extra." I said will they let me buy an extra box or do you have to approve that. She needed to approve it, so she wrote in my chart I could buy one extra box. I said I will need an extra box every week. She sighed and wrote in my chart I could buy and extra box every week. Then she said, "I sent your husband an email about how long a patient's fracture needs to heal before they can go back to a limited diet he hasn't got back to me." I said oh okay I'll text him and remind him to check his work email. I don't like her!
To answer your question. If I choose to go to the 800 then I can go back. If I am forced to go on the 800 because I'm underweight...no the option is not mine. In this case they told me if it didn't work I could go back to the 70. Here is the thing...it's like starting over again. 2 days of total sloth lethargic mess. I'm out of ketosis, now I'm going back into ketosis. No one wants to go through that. People actually just stop usually because it's too much to go through the crazy hunger pains and lack of energy to get into Ketosis. I'm doing it right now but it SUCKS! So I'm not going back to 800 unless they make me.
Now for the kick in the ass! So I go to the desk and buy my shakes and one extra box. I then weigh in (I have to weigh in a print it on my check in sheet) 170.5...I lost a half a pound yelling at the PA. When I weighed in yesterday morning I was 164.4 and it had been stuck there for 2 weeks. When I got home last night with the same clothes on as I had on at the program my scale said 170.5. This morning naked I weigh myself...161. This is before I started the 70 shakes, so the 800 shakes worked...they just kicked in a day late...and now I get to go through hell. UGH!
The nice thing is I'll suffer through, but it should go faster. I hope.
