JAKE H

congrats man!!

Lifes good today!! Weighed in this morning at 258. down 82 from surgery 7/10. Im doing crossfit (happy open) and i love it. its changed my life. Im still at about 800 cals a day. shake for breakfast and lunch. meat and veggie for dinner, quest protein chips in between. im loving it. food is fuel now, and nothing else.

im coming up on three months and i feel great. im around 800 calories a day. meeting all my protein and liquid goals. im down 71 from surgery and 117 overall. i took up crossfit and i love it. this has been an awesome experience so far.

Lets see the transformations in your face!!!

If you look through out all these forums you will read about the infamous 3-4 week stall. It happens, Stick to what your docs are telling you. This works. Stick to your program and youll be fine.

hello, 27/m from New Jersey. start weight 386 surgery weight 340 current weight- 276

Crossfit -a high-intensity fitness program incorporating elements from several sports and types of exercise. Every gym is different but they have the same idea. And yes, i do crossfit 4 days a week and ill usually run a couple miles 2 other days a week. Once in a while ill work out biceps and triceps at the gym after my cardio but thats about it.

I too was concerned about loose skin. While it will probably be impossible not to have some loose skin, im very happy with my results so far. i am 2.5 months post op and have dropped 60. My doctor cleared me after two weeks to go back to working out. Since then i started crossFit. THIS IS JUST MY EXPERIENCE. And i freaking love it. I was an overweight athlete my whole life. Crossfit fills that need for competing that i love. Im starting to get definition in my arms and legs and i have VERY little loose skin on my arms. Maybe its something you want to try. Idk. I just know its working for me and i love it. And i still maintain a 800 cal diet and get all my water and protein in.

I went through something pretty similar but recently its picked back up and QUICK! This is my timeline 7/10 Surgery day -340 7/17 -324 7/24-315 7/31-312 8/7-312 8/19-305 (i took time off of looking at scale) 8/26 299 9/2- 298 9/9-298 9/16- 294 9/18- 289 9/25- 282 its weird how it works sometimes but nevertheless it will come off. stick to your program and good things happen.

Chronic smokers who smoke every day can take up to 6 weeks. im curious tho? You get tested for THC? i know i didnt. I gave up cigs a longggg time ago, but if im being honest i never gave up mary jane. I am no way recommending that you dont. Im just stating i didnt. Everyone is different.

Stepped on the scale for my weekly weigh in this morning and it was 285!!! First off i haven't been this weight since my sophomore year of high school and it marks 101 pounds since i started this journey in February, and 55 pounds since surgery on 7/10/19. Im loving this journey!!

haha i hear ya! Youre on the same time frame i was on. Today youll be up and around more but you will get tired quick. Take it easy and enjoy the ride.

i bet by now that gas has passed......how you feeling today??

Belching was minimal for me too. And not to be nasty, but i was having serious gas pains 24 hours post op and that next night i must have farted a good 20 times. The next morning felt like a new man, all i felt was a little abdominal pain like i did a ab work out. It will pass my man. And its worth every minute. Just get through these next couple weeks. You got this,

fairlife power core protein milkshakes. im a big fan.

Call your surgeon! I didnt experience it but any discomfort should not be ignored!

Im new here! I had my surgery just over a month ago. Im almost under 300...its been since high school. This is exciting.

i finally got over the hump!! 299! Phew that was brutal. Was in a mini stall but stayed the course. Cheers!

I waited in some lines. It wasnt too busy. Longest wait was 45 minutes. And i was fine. I always had a bottle of water with me and i bought a couple protein snacks. I walked as soon as i could everyday after surgey as well, so i felt great. I highly recommend walking a lot so youre ready for it. But overall i felt better then i have in a long time at a park. I fit on everything and i wasnt sweating terribly. it was a great experience. I hope you have a great time.

As far as rides go, Im 6 weeks post, and last week i went to six flags and went on every roller coaster they had. Doc told me i was good to go. i didnt feel any discomfort. But hey thats me. I would say start off light and go from there. Youll know what you can and cannot do,

Sorry to be so blunt, lol but im just wondering how other people made out early on. i use to go 2-3 times a day. now im lucky if i go every 3 days..... is there something i should be doing to go more regular or is this normal?

Well by your rate you will be there in no time! if you dont mind me asking, whats a normal day of eating for you?

Holy crap!! Thats awesome. You guys are absolutely killing it. Thats awesome you have each other to do it with.
