  • Its an oxygen issue, The body has to adjust to satisfy the contracting muscles, once everything syncs, the body falls into the groove.

  • First off, CONGRATS! Yea, I was sleeved May 13th 2014. I am down 118lbs. Just keep it simple, listen to your body, and do all you can to stay active. Break the cycle of where you would binge eat. Instead of watching tv on the couch, workout while you watch your shows. My elliptical sits in front of the screen where I watch…
  • Trust me, It will change your life for the better! You make changes, you develop an understanding of how to get things done. I love the fact that I had this surgery. I do not regret it at all.
  • Two weeks is a long period of time to not notice a shift in weight especially during the first 6 months but it is not entirely unheard of. The first question I must ask is, are you being honest with your self in regards to your diet? Are you drinking enough water? Are you adhering to the protein first rule? How often and…
  • Fear is something that is very common. It should not deter you from the fact that this will change your life for the better. I questioned if I needed this surgery. My wife also kept at me constantly, are you sure you want to do this? Truth of the matter is I have suffered with the constant struggle of weight my entire…
  • Feel free to add me, I had mine on the 13th of May, and it is AWESOME! I am a new man and my marriage, and my family life has improved so incredibly. I love waking up and not feeling the weight come down on the sole of my feet. I am sure most of us know what I am talking about.
  • Forbidden foods: HUMMM! For me I can only consume about a palms worth of food at a time. Anything more then that tends to give me like an acid re-flux type feeling. Its not TRUE acid re-flux, but its the WOW I ate to much I am going to URL feeling. Greasy food hits me horrible. So I have stuck to healthy alternatives. The…

  • Most people are scared, the ones who are not are probably not wise enough to understand the significance of this surgery and will suffer later mental anguish. Now as for the eating, this is where I would suggest to stand fast and start to make the commitment to your upcoming lifestyle change. The importance of the pre-op…

  • I really did not experience pain after the surgery. I was prescribed a huge bottle of liquid codeine, but I only it took it one time at home. I still have it and sometimes just will do a shot of it to get loopy, but that is about it. Just take it slow, sleep a lot, and sip very little. The first week I could hardly consume…
  • WOW, Your my inspiration dude! Great work!
  • EXCELLENT choice of words: "It clicked for me the moment I realized that what weight loss is, isn't a diet or some special formula." Congratulations on your success in changing your life around. The chemicals in foods today literally turn them into an addiction. Congratulations on saving your self from future health issues.
  • Holy ISH bro, you got ripped, I am starting tonight, I am down 23 lbs, but I want to build muscle, the elliptical is cool, but I really want to increase my metabolism to be a furnace. Was considering Insanity, but I just feel like P90 is a better fit, since I love weights and resistance training.
  • excellent work
  • Once a week, I learned my lesson, a watched kettle never boils. (Did I get the expression right)?
  • WOW! You did GREAT! How do you feel? You have turned back the clock of time! Do your thing!!!!!!
  • Awesome! I know the feeling dropping below that mark provides such incentive!
  • Best advice in my opinion, its difficult to eliminate stuff in this day and age. the best plan is to monitor your caloric intake, and supplement it with a good workout. I have been loosing 2 lbs doing this. Prior to myfitnesspal, I was consuming at least 4,000 - 5,000 calories a day, the second I dropped down to 1,900…
