Thanks for sharing that info. Do you know about how many calories you get? How many ounces do you eat each meal?

So funny and not funny at the same time. Poor girl will probably hate tequila forever :) your a good mama. My kiddo turns 10 tomorrow and I can't believe it. 21 seems just around the corner.

Yes!! Love funny videos. Thankfully I had moved away by my 21st. My mother would have never survived she is so straight laced. I don't know that I fully remember my 21st.

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 B)

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.

Hi Janice!! Hope u had fun on ur trip. This is a new pic? Looks great!!! 27lb is great!!!! U have been through so much and it's gonna be ok and u are gonna do great!! Well my surgeons office actually gave me a brochure and they nurse told me about it and showed me hers she wears since she had rny. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get one. Just seems sensible to do as I worry too much and I also see so many accidents in my career field. Hope u are doing well :)
