How many calories' date=' carbs and Protein grams are each of you getting a day. I need to change something up cause the scale is not moving...grrrr! REM, yes please share what you are eating and how much. Your loss is amazing![/quote']

I don't count calories and i rarely go over 800. Any meal or snack had to be seven carbs or under for life per surgeon. I shoot for 80+ grams of protein.

Omg I do think I had alot of my drinking almost out of my system by 22. I've always thought that if u can die for your country at 18 u could at least have a drink.

I had been getting into bars at 19 so my 21st was no big deal! I was the only one of my friends who could get served at 16 too. Id always have to go in to buy the beer. I dont understand how back then I looked older and now people say I look 10 years younger than i am!

Finally got my Big Train fit frappe in the mail today. So of course I whipped up a shake! It is so good!

That's funny but I would much rather it be that way and look younger now!!! So at least u got that in your favor. I almost would beg people to card me nowadays.

Officially lost 80 pounds this morning!! Woohoo

Happy 4th of July to everybody!

Wow, congratulations! That is a lot of weight!! I had surgery the same day, and I am at 27 lbs lost. Just got back from vacation and ate very little. Got on scale for first time in a week, and the weight was exactly the same. I exercised and was very active all week. Very disappointing to not have lost anything at all.

Do any of u guys have the medical alert Bracelet? I've been thinking more and more about it after my surgeons nurse told me it would be a good idea. She said we really needed to make sure emergent personnel didn't try to do a blind ng tube I'm case of an emergency as it could cause internal bleeding and damage the spleen. I'm back & forth about it. I know at kinda a good idea and then I have the idea of having to feel like I'm advertising. Thoughts???

Good question. My mom emailed me today urging me to get one because of something she read on-line about a bariatric patient. I will ask my doctor about it when I go for my 3 month visit. No mention of a bracelet has been made at any of the support meetings. I guess it is a personal decision to make.
