Bariatricpal scared me shitless
Well, I had nausea and vomiting in the hospital,had to stay an extra day,plus I'm losing my hair. I got over the throwing up in a day and got a pixie cut for my hair. This surgery is worth it. I've lost over seventy pounds,can move around so much better and am off my blood pressure medication . I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Am I too old?
You are definitely not too old. I had the sleeve in July at 52 and immediately had health benefits, like no more blood pressure medication.asthma Ned's, and am no longer pre diabetic. I am alittle baggier and wrinkled than I want to be, but it's a good trade off.

New Obsessions!
Earrings,necklaces and make-up. I had stopped wearing make-up along time ago and I couldnever fit into a regular necklace. I just started wearing make-up again and necklaces. In particular big chunky necklaces. I do like clothes,but am still shrinking so wearing a mix of old and new. I did do a happy dance when I bought size eighteen chinos. I started off at a 28/30 .

Is this correct? Standards for carbs and proteins as per dietitian....
I was told to eat between 1,000 and 1,200 calories a day. No less than 60 grams of protein. No less than60 grams of carbs and no more than 150 grams of carbs and between 48 to 64 oz of canine free liquid a day. I usually eat around 1,000 calories. I notice if I go below 800 calories I stop losing weight.
