Recommended Posts

Am still stunned about the 180lbs in 8 months. I am a lot smaller than you (as in shorter, I think!) and I stuck to the programme and only lost 67lbs.

Do you have a lot of loose skin???

Chris, can you give us some tips on what foods to eat, how to prepare them and how to stay focused on the program?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

A gentleman who has become sort of my mentor (met him at our support group) was about 400lbs and has lost over 90# in 3 months, he follows the rules by the book and walks a ton!

My sleeve mentor loss 75lbs in 3 months...then it slowed a bit, she said, but in 6 months she loss 122lbs.

She said she was very strict and did hire a personal trainer to assist. She also kept it very low carb, pretty much a lean version of Atkins, she ate no Pasta, no rice, no potatoes, no bread...and worked out 5 days a week. Weight flew off her. She's since added some of those things back into her diet in small amounts, but still works out 5 days a week, so she hasn't gained.

I'm trying to follow her lead.

I'd love to say you are wrong, but you aren't. Please accept my apology and also understand my concern. We do have spammers on the forum all the time. In fact, we just had one with a very similar story a few days ago, so it's my job to be cautious. I did report your thread to the admin as did others to be checked out **rather** than hide or delete your post because I did want to exercise caution for our members' sake. I am sure you understand that we take everyone's safety very seriously here.

I promise you that I am not jealous, I am 7 months out and 15 pounds from goal. :D I am very impressed with your progress, however, and I was extremely sincere when I said I would love to see before and after pictures. I promise you that.

Clean slate? And pics? :D

Here is mine!

I work 3rd shift. Typical day food. 2a turkey sandwich. 9a Protein Shake. sleep 12p til 7p. 8p 2 poached eggs on english muffin. Or similiar. 1medium dd coffee. 60 to 80 ounces of Water. Thats my menu. Like I said never hungary so no need to cheat have like 15 to 20lbs left to lose if that. Dr thought id stop at around 250 after a year. Took me 9 months to get to 235. So much faster than he or I thought. People are different and lose at different pace.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
