  1. Mine required a 3 mo plan.. Thank goodness .. I am not a good waiter. Try and lose as much as possible to get rid of fatty liver. You will blow away your goal weight.. try 150!! Kid you not though all are different.. You will hear that 1000 times on here. Chris
  2. Your body will either tighten up or not. epends on elasticity!! I had full tummy tuck.. A sugery i would never ever do again. all the way around i have a scar.. no biggie but i did it. Im as flat as a board. Chris
  3. ME. no issues.. the gurgling still exists today.. haha. Live with it happily after almost 200lbs dropped. Chris
  4. im 8 months post. 6/24. i eat about 1000 but i am losing to much weight and i am raising it to 1300. i work out a lot though.. 45-60 minutes 6 days per week.. Chris
  5. no drain.. catheter just during procedure. needed zero pain medicine. Blood thinnner shots??? to protect aganst blood clots you will be up and walking then next day and you want to walk every hour for like 10-15 minutes while in hospital.. Im sure they will go over all of this for u. Any question email me. Chris
  6. WOW….. Its Snowing here in Boston!!! hahaha
  7. im 7 months out. lost 200lbs in 9 months total.. i was at 1000 but working out like 600 per day.. i just increased to 1300 because i don't want to lose anymore!!! Crazy i can say i don't want to lose anymore. I just did it so waiting for next weigh in in a couple of weeks. Id say to you stay around 800-1000 Chris
  8. A lot of people go from lap to sleeve. My Dr won't even do lap anymore. So I'm glad you did that .. U might still have some gas from surgery being 10 days ago.. That is very normal.. Walk a lot to get that gas out.. Thats the only way . Chris
  9. can i confirm.. you had your surgery almost 3 years ago and have lost like 20lbs total?? I guess I'm confused by that.. Maybe your stats are wrong or your restriction is wrong.. Just asking how that works... Chris
  10. HMMMM.. Corn is extremely hard to digest anyways for the "normal" person.. I wouldn't do that again .. Im sure u figured that one out by now.
  11. BETTER THAN GAINING!! LOL. Your going to have stalls. SImple as that.. They last 2-4 weeks. Add more Water. Change up exercise routine and push it a little bit more. If you read my story. Ive lost almost 200 lbs in 9 months. 7 months post surgery,, I have had 2 stalls. in that 7 months. Chris
  12. 54 waist to 33. 4xl shirt to large, Im going broke!!! I think Im done though.. Thank goodness. Chris
  13. yeah its fine after a few months.. i have 1 medium everyday and no problems.. actually its a diaretic so it helps lose weight but also hurts your Water intake,, Chris
  14. HI there. Congrats on your sleeve! Your new Baby.. The gurgling sounds are common and me 7 months out still have them especially after i eat or if i eat a little to fast. yeah your only 6days post op io would stay on shakes for another week and then go to puree then solids.. Are you set up on a plan? if not I will help you .. I try and help a buch os people in here with any questions they have .. Im in work all night so have plenty of time on my hands. Chris
  15. if u have acid reflux or "throw up" while laying down. Just means you ate and went to sleep to fast.. At least i found that was the only time i had the issue. So when you eat wait 2-3 hours before bed... then it should happen. Its Yucky! Thank god only happened 3 times to me before i smartened up.. Chris
  16. I did not but some do. ll depends on your surgeon.. They are no bg deal.. Only in you for a few days from what i understand
  17. im 7 months out and do about 1000 a day but that includes a dd coffee.
  18. i truly was never stuck for more than 3 weeks and i am within goal of just a few pounds so I'm not worried. Im on here just trying to coach a few people. i want to help people...' chris
  19. I agree w fiddleman.. I heard there is a huge stall after 6 month. I am at 7 never had a large stall but i am essentially at goal weight. Chris
  20. Bariatric fushion is chewable and an all in one. take 1 chewable 3xs a day for the sleeve.. works great and better than taking 5 pills 2x a day Chris
  21. NO and no.. No you dont fast. Your body needs nutrients. No not just shakes either... Change your excercise program up and drink some more Water. That should jumop start you .. Also your only 25lbs from goal. I just did a cleanse for the first time and in 10 days i took off like 8lbs from that body cleanse. Try that. It put me pretty much at goal weight.. Bottom line is you dont want to fast.. Thats what YOYO dieters do. Ever notice wieght comes right back on after you start eating again after fasting. Just my opinion but my opinion on this one is right.. HAHA.. Chris
