  1. I'm in my 7th week post-op. What did your guidlines recommend your daily carb/protein/fat %'s to be at this point? I was told 60-80 grams of Protein but I wanna set my carb and fat % goals in MFP too.

    To weigh or not to weigh?

    I'm rith there with you! Sleeved on 9/15 and won't hop on a scale till my post-op appt 10/1. One reason - I've never found two scales that were the same. I wanna do my first post-op weigh in on the same scale I did my final pre-op weigh in. Then my next weigh-in will be when I return to work (i work in a hospital) and will do my monthly weigh-ins on the same scale every time. Maybe weekly...but as of right now, I'm set on the 15th of every month:).
  6. I'm all checked-in and ready to take a "nap" (around 12:30'ish) and dream I'm in Oahu! Thank God I woke up this morning excited and not scared! I'm beyond ready! (Twitter: @elaraye)

  16. I was worried for a while because of an "abnormal EKG" which required a stress echocardiogram to be done, which I did today and passed with flying colors! My pre-op is tomorrow and I'm getting sleeved on Monday (9/15). I'm so excited and nervous and relieved and freaked out!!!!! While sampling different Protein drinks/shakes I found out that I'm allergic to whey / whey isolate. anyone out there on the same boat? I need recommendations.....
