How many calories a day?
carstanger replied to crdevans's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I still don't count calories at 9 1/2 months out. I count grams of protein, watch the amount of sugar in servings, as well as fats. Eat about 80-90 grams of protein a day. Have lost 84 pounds and I'm 66. Need to exercise more though! -

Preparing for the sleeve
carstanger replied to pjackson0523's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I'm 66 and had my sleeve at 65 last Nov. 5 ft 2 inches and weighed 225.5 at the highest. Now at 141.8. Lowest since before I was pregnant with my first daughter. She is now 41! For me it us worth it but I did it to improve my health!! -
