Hey all,

I am also aqbout 14 months out of surgery and weighing about 138. I admit I have fallen off of the wagon lately. I took too much stress on (full time accelerated school program, planning a wedding eeek) combined with other daily stressors, I fell back into some bad habits. Im trying to get back on track now. I have not regained anything, but I also dont weigh regularly either. I became obsessed with the scale and finally tossed the junky thing out. Now that I am back on track with logging my foods everyday, I am wondering how many calories you all are taking in daily. I keep pretty active, but I dont "work out". Before i fell off the wagon, I was trying to keep my calorie intake at about 900 but noticed I was very tired. Im thinking 1000 would be acceptable at this point, but wanted some feedback. Let me know what you think....I would ask my doctor, but he tells me everything in moderation. I NEED parameters and rules....I tried everything and then some in moderation before, thats what got me into this mess to begin with.....UUUUGGGHHH! Thanks in advance!

I average 1300 to 1400.  I try to keep the sat. fats to less than 10% of my total intake, total fats around 25% or less.  Carbs at 50%, and the rest is protein, which usually ends up being around 100 g/day.

Thanks Shelley,

I am not overdoing at all.  My husband is ever vigilant.  Neither one of us want to go through this again anytime soon.

I will post pictures after the drains come out.

CONGRATS!!! LETS DO THE HAPPY DANCE TOGETHER

I haven't really lost any hair for several months now.   In fact, a lot has grown back in by now.  If I were you, I'd get your levels checked.  You may still have a deficiency even if you're taking all your vitamins, etc.
