Today it has been exactly 9 months. Everyone is telling me to stop losing. I weigh exactly 190lbs on the dot. My goal is 180 by the new years. Its possible but I really need to drink more water. Since surgery I can only get in an average of 32 ozs /day. My calories vary. If I stay on point its 600/day and I am full. If I stray the max is 1200 and thats with carbs. I fill up entirely to easy. Especially with dense meats. I luv me some taco salads.

OTR. I can tell in you face man. Good job so far. Just wait cause it gets way better. I noticed my ribs the other day and veins in my hands and the seperation between my bicep and tricep on the inside my arm. Little things but its those little things that count. I was in the mirror shaving my face and I said wtf is that "it was a bump inder my skin on my neck". I went and touched it and it was my adams apple. Hahaha. I never seen it before

Everytime I train hard I stop losing weight but I lose inches. So lately I said the hell with it and I just been training but inches are surely going away. I am almost in need of a medium shirt now

**** you nailed it dead on the head. I have built many homes in the past for washington lobbiests in Louisiana. These homes were in excess a million dollars. Somebody is getting paid

I have been noticing alot of board members talking about cheating. So I came up with an Idea of why dont we all list what we think a cheat is. I would love to hear the many differences. Maybe by the end of this thread we all can have a general overview of what a cheat really is. The thing for me is that I dont have a cheat list per say. All I have is a banned list. Lets hear everyones version.

Get the sleeve and show her whats up. Last surgery you will need. I know someone with the band myself and she is definitely going to fail. She eats all wrong. Excuse me for saying this "f**k you Medicaid- you pay for people like this yet I pay over $400/month for BCBS and I couldnt get mine covered at all. Its BS".... Ah thanks I feel better now. Sleeve is absolutely the way to go. No doubt. I was with a band to sleeve revision patient when I had my sleeve done. She lost and regained as well. I talked to alot of others that verified the same thing on their cases as well

I called her up and said go look at this website. Were scheduled, flights booked. Her reaction was "Ok I guess so" ~ in her uneasy voice lol My decision was instantaneous when I saw the $4500 price tag instead of the $18000 USA one. I was saving up the $18000 actually and ran across this by an act of god. God must love me for some strange reason.

I have those days where I can almost eat that much. But then theres the 600 calorie days too. I fluctuate randomly naturally.

I think head hunger has you a bite maybe. It took me all day to eat 2 cans of tuna (2oz cans) and a Advantcarb shake. But hey 22 grams of carbs today. Thats almost nothing lol.

I am never home lol. Always working. I am in Port Fourchon, La in the gulf of mexico for the time being. Well atleast until next year I hope. I get to go home on the 17th actually. I havent lost a pound in 2 weeks but all my shirts are getting looser . I have a car show to attend and a few Haunted houses. I will try and get calipered within those 2 weeks. I am cutting carbs for a few days also to make a gap. So far today 15 carbs total thanks to miracle whip and tuna n sweet pickles

Oh my lasagna. Pretend its gonna kill you and you can never have it again. Thats how I deal with alot of foods that are not in your best interest

No problems with the sleeve at all? I thought there might have had some form of pressure limitations or discomfort at deep depths. I am very fortunate to be able to live where ever because the majority of my work is either in the gulf of Mexico or trinidad to brazil and venezuela. So belize seems to be a hub for me. Now if Edison Chouest sent me to alaska that might be a different story but working on a huge Icebreaker in freezing temps isnt to thrilling to this warm blooded coonass. I will stay down here making $100 bucks less a day. Tyvm lol. I appreciate the feedback

Am looking at becoming a dive instructor pretty soon and was looking for anyone whos been diving for awhile post op to share any experiences or precautions to watch out for

Yes maam. Scuba diving is awesome. I just want to get certified as a dive instructor cause I plan on retiring in Belize and I want to open up a dive boat service in the Sanctuary Belize community. Being a captain and all diving has always interested me. I havent been diving since my op but I will definitely have to hear some input from real people before doing so.

I had a smart A reply but I refrained. Just be lucky you dont have a halloween type of surgeon doing sleeves with yarn and paper clips

Peanut Butter Honey or honey substitute Almonds Raisins Cranberries whey Protein low carbs unflavored Expensive Dark chocolate 80% or better cocoa unsweetened I melt the PB,honey,chocolate in the microwave then add it to the other ingredients. If its to dry just add a little Water and it will loosen up a bit. Pop it in the freezer and your bars are gtg in 20-30 mins. I keep mine cooled cause I love the coolness of the bars. I try and keep my protiens and carbs 2:1. The dark chocolate help Tremendously with the taste of all the Protein powder and helps keep the bar soft and binds it well. Thats the best trick that I could find. I tried applesauce but that doesnt bind to well for me. As an added treat I tamped some raisins on top of the bar before I froze them to give it a fruity topping. Awesome. Bar for bar my bar beats the Metrx 100s by taste and carbs: proteins; calories. South beach,atkins, cliff haha no more for sure

Human flesh but you would need to sprinkle some tonys on it with some Zombie dust. Human meat has the best Proteins available For Protein synthesis in our bodies. Hmmm didnt yall ever watch that old japanese show where they used aborted fetuses for rejuvination? In reality now. Best protein source to me is Protein Bars that are homemade

Oh oh u better watch out the dogs are gonna wanna start sniffin. Looking good there.

Wtf I eat cheeseburgers all the time. I just pull off the bread...i lost over 130lbs so far

Amazons right in a way. People starve all over. Hell I know girls who starve on purpose. I know people that starve cause they bought beer instead. Alot of people choose to starve. All most of them have to do is get off their ass. People in 3rd world countries atleast in the areas that I know of in my mind have to hunt and gather food. Thats a whole different stereotype dont you agree. They just cant get off their ass and rob a 711 or grocery store. If they dont catch, gather or kill anything for the day they starve. We got it good. Its when we lose our golden blanket that the people will starve and die off. Lifes great civilization can be crippled dramatically and its sadly based on the monetary dollar. Hmm I must be going through one of my anger phases. But my motivations is at its best at this stage. But yeah. People starve everywhere but some of those can step up and control that issue if they really wanted

Smh....coochie cozy..... Man....lol i dont think I will forget that one. Next time I see one I might laugh just cause of this thread
