I havent had time to do a new video been so busy. I did just get back from Vegas and California. I ate like **** for 7 straight days and lost 10 lbs......Im down to 233....I guess the revers diet is what I needed to break the stall. The shorts i have on in the picture were skin tight last summer and barely buttoned, shows how dramatic of a weight loss I have had in just 4 months post op. I do have some flabby skin around my naval but not as bad as I anticipated. Currently I am several pounds away from my goal weight of 225 and may try to get a little lighter . Im down from a 47 waist to a 39 down from 38% body fat to 24% and a 42 BMI to a 32 BMI

Have you started an exercise regimen? I recommend you do now, it makes recover and weight loss much easier in the end.

Thanks for the update. You look great! No loose skin, you lucky duck! You are so early out, that I expect you'll go as low as you want to. Keep in mind the 15-20lbs that most patients regain in the years following goal weight, so you may want to aim a smidge lower than what you think is your "perfect weight". As long as you stay in the gym, you won't lose your muscle.. just the fat.

Thanks for the tip about not eating too close to bedtime. A 2 hour wait would be a good habit for you (and me!) to get into.

BTW, you need to change your surgery date on your profile.

My condolences.

Glad you could enjoy the beach, especially at such a difficult time.

Excellent topic about triggers/emotional eating.
