Hi everyone...I'm in Bx and new to all of this. I had a consult with Marina Kurian. I like her but her staff has turned me off. I actually go back on Tuesday and I'm hoping that it is a better visit. I'm down 10lbs since my initial consultation with her.

Alhamdiallah 3al salameh. The hardest part is over. Now comes the fun part! I'm 3.5 months out and alhamidallah this has been the best thing I've ever done for myself.
I'm in NYC too.

I'm six months out, about to make a happy cry status topic!!

You look fantastic!

Why did you increase your carbs? Glycogen in your liver and cells, creating Water weight after coming off low carbing. That is your weight gain right there.
Increase your Protein and try to keep your carbs at 25, max 50. That is pretty easy to do.
meat and green veggies, that is all you should be eating, and the odd Protein Shake if you are running low on protein for the day.

I'm using baby food made by Earth's Best. It's not bad. Lol! I don't eat meat so I'm eating the fruit and vegetarian jars.

I'm many months in...but a tip would be to use gas x strips. They help with that painful gas feeling when you drink.

My surgeon's office only allows for three meals a day and no Snacks. I start my day with a Protein Shake. I have my first meal and then 30 minutes later start a bottle of Water and don't let myself have my second meal until the water is gone and I have waited at least the half hour. One bottle of water after each meal and an additional four oz get me to my 64 oz by the end of the day.

Increase your Water intake and raise your heart rate up a little more! Your body has gotten use to the usual workout your doing!

I started at a high weight so it could also be that I have a large amount of weight to take off and my resting metabolic rate at doing nothing all day is pretty high!

However, this is usually my diet.

8am Premier Protein shake

10am low fat string cheese

1130am 3oz of ground turkey with Beans and little cheese

1pm hard boiled egg, one or two, egg white only

430pm string cheese

7pm 2oz of chicken


9pm if still hungry,premier Protein shake

I try to eat frequently. When Im on the run, my goto is the grilled chicken patty from mcdonalds...I can only eat half at a time and it only costs $1.30.

Majority of weight came off with minimal working out. Started count ing my steps to achieve 10k a day and started weight lifting but after a week, my back flared up so PT is going to help me with slowly easing in workout regime.

Pre op on 2-6-17 weight: 348lb

Surgery 2-17-17:
331lb

Two months 4-27-17: 286lb

63lb down, about 110lb to go

I slept on my back once I got home. Having someone help you get up is always a plus. I was sleeved last Saturday. The pain is now 99% gone.

Oh nice ok! I was wondering if the repair would slow down the recovery time. But thank you for that[emoji6]
