Ohhhh. You mean in general! Haha sorry! Mine was at 17. I'm not condoning underaged drinking by any means, but whenever I did until I was 21, it was either at my house, NOT on the road, or at a trusted friend's parents house. The mindset was that at least if we were going to drink, we'd be supervised and not out where no one knew where to find us. Also, parents never provided it to us. That was up to our finding.

I had mine about four weeks after surgery, and it was just a sip! It seriously burns my stomach and goes right through me. It is awkward going to bars and your friends and bartender asking, "Oh, you don't like your drink? You've barely touched it!!". I cannot throw them back like I used to. There's no room, and my tolerance has become soooo low!

I'm not sure what happened to the second one ring horizontal! Sorry, friends!

I was sleeved on May 24 of this year. The first two weeks, the weight came off vigorously! I wish I could say the same since then. Fortunately, a measly 25 lbs makes the biggest different already in how I feel physically and mentally. I am steadily losing ounces day by day, so at least I've not gained or completely stalled. Keeping the faith! These are before and after pics so far! The one in the silver dress is before.

That was what I was thinking. My doctor never gave me a set amount of protein that I need to be getting. The most he said at my follow up appointment was to be eating three meals a day and limit snacking as much as possible. I feel a bit lost compared to most people here on the forum. I guess I must educate myself. I only saw the dietitian once and that was while I was still hopped up on pain meds day one in hospital, and she just gave me a gastric bypass nutritional info packet, and said to go by that. It was disheartening.

Hi! I was just wondering if any of you have discomfort at the site of any of your sutures while doing Zumba? I am four weeks post op and was released to do any physical activity, so I had my first hour long class yesterday. I loved it, but during the jumping parts, my surgical sites were a bit tender.

Hey y'all! I was just wondering, for those of you who use My Fitness Pal on a daily basis, what percentage of your daily nutrition has been Protein? Also, I know that too much of fat and carbs are "BAD", but if those make up 2/3 of the whole day, which one is worse to have more of? I try to keep my protein at least around 20%, but it make me cringe to see the carbs percentage. I might add that I set my calorie goal to 800 cal a day. Every time I complete my log for the day it gives me a "starvation mode" warning.

I didn't buy them, but this person I believe just bought some kind of regular Water bottle container of her liking and took a sharpie and other shiney sparkly stuff to label the times.

Hi there! I had surgery at Stringfellow Memorial Hospital with Dr. Clifford Black of Anniston General Surgery Center in Calhoun Co, AL. I do not reccomend Stringfellow. Dr. Black and his staff are awesome, though.

I know this is a girlier version to try, but I came across it on Pinterest!

I am definitely going to call tomorrow, even if my symptoms have subsided. Im no so sure I am dealing with these foods really well...

My doctor progressed me from liquid/mushee to soft easily chewed solids last week at my two week check up. He said as long as I could chew very thoroughly and eat slowly, anything should go. He really enforced any kind of softer meat for Protein, so my mom cooked up a really tender hamburger patty for me. I know compared to most on the boards, my eating progression seems pretty fast paced. I have been on anti acids since day one of surgery since I also had a hiatal hernia repair.

I am not trying to scare anyone from having this done, by any means. I have had the best most painless recovery except for back pain until today. I have eaten very slowly, monitored head hunger vs head hunger, and have just been generallly VERY aware of what I'm doing and how I'm feeling. I am two weeks and four days out from surgery. Tonight after eating a very tender 3oz hamburger patty, I began having sharp pains that almost seem to make me lose my breath about thirty minutes after my last bite. I have just been sitting here since waiting for it to subside. Of course, the first thing that came to mind was a leak. I am just a little paranoid. There almost is like a "gurgly" feeling in that area. Not just those weird sounds and feelings I've had post op. I have no fever. Should I just let it slide and if it is bothering me tomorrow, call my surg?

Amy, once you start seeing that weight fall off and the look on your loved ones faces, I PROMISE you'll no longer regret it. I was so emotional the first few days after I got out of the hospital, most likely because I had 50 mg of of Demerol every two hours on the freaking dot for 48 hours straight. My intense pain was actually the gas building up in my back muscles. It was HORRIBLE, especially after coming back from recovery. I was so bad and the nurses were idiots. My mother had to be Big Bad Momma b***h. Untill she got them to give me my pain meds, it was so bad she had to pull my hands out of my hair because I became a bit delirious from coming off the anesthesia and pain that I tried pulling my hair out. :/ FORTUNATLY, I recovered wonderfully throughout the following days.
