Plain n simple CARBS ARE YOUR PROBLEM!!!! Bottom line. Argue if you want but unless you succumb to that realization you are doomed. Hell prove me wrong. Take that challange

I watched it every so often. To me the point of the show is really showing the over indulgence we have in american society. He does eat some messed up stuff. He must have a ducolax lifetime supply. I am more of an andrew zimmerman/anthony bourdain type of person. In fact I am watching tony right now in singapore lol

What where you eating before you had surgery? Alot of fried foods or alot of acidic foods as tomato sauce? I am curious because I never had heartburn in years preop plus post op I dont have any signs yet. But in my case i didnt eat pizza, tomato sauces, fried foods, and other acid reflux foods being I got accustomed to my ex gfs problems with acid reflux. Just trying to figure out some causes and ways to prevent.

I have a question. I have noticed alot of yall have heartburn. What do you think this is caused by? And when did it start?

I didnt run across that one yet. I am going buy it right now. My wife and kid n I was discussing our new diet being I just got sleeved last friday. I dont plan on starving them but correcting their bad hi carb diets which I was guilty of before also. Nothing better than a complete family change so a variety in cookbooks sure do keep things interesting.

For once andy I agree fully. I wouldnt even want to stress my sleeve at that point (null)

Doesnt kfc sell a grilled chicken patty themselves. I ate a patty sandwich a year or 2 ago that was great but now postop theres no way I can eat that much. That sandwich by itself would be 2-3 meals lol. But there is things from each fastfood restaurant that one can eat if really needed. (null)

Goodluck. The pain is well worth the prize (null)

Pookie. I did my preop without and didnt find that I needed them to overcome my stomach hunger. Now post op. who cares about eating. I am going to take this opportunity to eat the best that I can while saving tons of money on foods (null)

Poprocks. ****. I think I might be sick. This is the first I read about this. Omg I am so going to gag lmao. Hope it dont last to long. Congrats Dooter cause I am following your footsteps (null)

For me I have to watch carbs BIGTIME. My PcP prescribed me metformin and a higher dose of HRT and synthroid 200mcg good looking out doc. I love my new age doc. It takes me 3 days to get into ketosis. In ketosis I see the most burn. I lost a little over 20lbs as of today just messing around with ketosis (null)

Damn circa. I knew there was a reason I liked you. Your pretty smart lol. (null)

Your cardio in retrospect is your warm up mr worm But in all the bodybuilding books and fitness guides from the pros. The general consensus is to workout before cardio. Working out works your muscle fibers dilates your blood vessels which "in our case" increase the mitochondria's fat burning Activities. Cardio last because everythings flowing and transpotation is easier. Old fashioned weights are better than machines because it creates alot of compound movements which not only effect the muscle group your trying to workout but also stability muscles that the machines just cant hit. Good luck on your venture (null)

I looked at the ninja last night. I bought an oscar single serve blender. Its a pretty orange and white lol. But I do agree with u that the quality of the ninja is the very BEST on the market right now. (null)

My main trigger is being on this low carb pre op diet made me realize that I dont really need the surgery but I am still gonna have it because I dont wanna starve all the time like I have been these past couple of weeks. Try this do a pre op diet with full liquids for 2 weeks just besure to watch your carbs and keep them under 60grams. Fats dont matter in fact you may want to take a Omega 6-3 Vitamin complex daily. Just give it a try as best as you can. It will give you a glimmer of hope. Read up on Ketosis dieting. Buy yourself some lowcarb cookbooks from amazon. Buy yourself some shaker bottles for Protein shakes. Look at it as an investment in your life. I will never lead you wrong. Please just give it ago. Hint: for me it was best to down a bottle of Water first thing in the am then alternate with a Protein shake every hour on the hour. You have to do it this way atleast for the first 4 days. Your going to have a terrible taste in your mouth on day 3 because your burning your own. (null)

Thanks circa (null)

Just fyi. I been sitting here for hours watching anthony bourdain and andrew zimmerman on the travel channel for hours reminiscing. I love those damn guys (null)

Its better to hit to alternate a bottle of Water and Protein shake every hour on the hour. If you dont stay on schedule your appetites going to run wild on day 3. I broke on 3 occasions but I started 2 weeks early because I knew me. Today all I had was cream of Soup 18 carbs 140cal ,dasani lemon water, crystal lite lemonade 20 cal and homemade tomato bisque 9 carbs 160 cal. Not a good day. Hardly any calories and real low low carbs. But 2 weeks ago I would have threw that in the trash and fixed myself a big old sandwich or something with bread. I am just glad I was able to break away from my friends. As I write this comment I am still full and my last meal was at 6:30pm. This should show you its possible. But as far as clear liquids. Hahaha I WILL FIND OUT starting in the morning. Just have faith. If your at home and your hungry. Just leave. It help curb the urge (null)

Btw this is just my general observation. Would one think that going from a caloric intake over an excess of 3500 calories a day to down in the range of 320-650 every day with the Vitamin deficiency incurred by the diet itself cause one to get sick. Why has no one ever mentioned this prior? They told me that I couldnt take a multi so I didnt but I should have taken something to protect myself in a liquid form (null)

Nah not yet. I have 2 cases of chicken broth though. I am about to order some from GNC. They have a better assortment online vs the storefronts. I just got in from offshore yesterday and I was dead sick. Now I am 90% better. No medicine at all today except for the shot this morning. Keep in mind I never been sick since 2009 because my deckhand got me sick. But other than that I have an immune system like an ox. My Hormone Replacement Therapy "Steroids" are to blame for my extraordinary health. I pray thursday I am 100%. Cause I am ready for this. My old lady is starving me tonight. No Soup ha. Imma drink a ton of Water and go pass out and wish for the best. (null)

Ok my day is near. 17th lol omg. I have 12 Isopure fruit punch drinks, 6 ion4 Powerade fruit punch to cut the isopure with and then I have some friut2O assorted drinks. I just hope I can do it. For the past couple of weeks I been thinning out Soups to tide me over. So far I lost 15 lbs. I got sick thursday so I ate more carbs 3 days in order to fight the infection. Calories still stayed under 1200. Today I took a shot in the butt for my cold and as of right now its almost gone. I also went out and bought me a nice recliner. It was $493 but is really is perfect for for me post op. Tomorrow ADT is coming install a security system and I am going to run my security cameras so that will keep me occupied for the day lol Sorry had to log my progress thus far (null)

Kickem in the nads. Cause when you get skinny you can upgrade (null)

Sorry. I know i can be pretty rough but I am always open to logical conversations (null)

I did some tomato Soups with heavy cream to tide me over. It helps but not that much lol. I myself start Clear liquids for 3 days. Lord help me. (null)

Yes I am healthy in every aspect. The USCG has deemed EVERYONE with a BF% over 34 has to go through a series of tests that are very costly even with insurance. Plus all the sign offs from agility tests and so on. I stay put at 300 lbs year round but these tests cost so much on a 2 year basis that its better financially for me to spend the 5000 dollars and get up to their par to stop the outflow of money towards these USCG tests. On average I spend 3000 dollars every 2 years. Its common sense for me to take the initiative. (null)
