My dear, oh you have struggled with your weight! A gastric bypass 14 months ago. Did they give you diet instruction at that time as those guidelines are important to follow.

Congratualations on the 260 pound weight loss! It is normal that your weight has hit the plateau. Do give you proper guidelines, is it possible you could come through the specialist portal? This is a complex and involved question.

For now, I will be quite firm with you. Oxyelite is dangerous and that danger is multiplied by the fact hat you are diabetic with high blood pressure making you a high risk client. Oxyelite facts: It contains a chemical known as DMAA a powerful amphetamine like substance. It is often disguised as "geranium" to get by authorities and the public who have been warned. 76 international athletes have been banned due to its use. Severest side effects: death, cerebral hemorrhage, headaches, INCREASED Blood Pressure. Can you see why, in your best interest, I cannot advise you go anywhere near it. With your high blood pressure combined with a pill that further elevates blood pressure and may provoke cerebral hemorrhage are you willing to gamble with your life?

You meal plan would have to take into account a full assessment involving height, weight, medical history, labs as available, list of medications, a full days list of foods consumed, likes/dislikes, blood pressure trends. Then, we could start work on a meal plan. You can either come back here and ask for me or if I know where you are I could try to make a referral to a Dietitian as you will best be served to work with a properly trained individual. Best of luck to you. Kathy Shattler, MS,RDN
