PLEASE PLEASE stop eating Potatoes!! SO SO SO NO NO NO.. 4 oz is way to much potatoes,,. Your total intake should be 4-6 ounces,, Dont give up on this. Potatoes expand as they go down .. You wont be able to fit anything else.. ,,, Keep going. Its not a race. The idea is to sustain the loss. stalls happen typically month3 and month 6 they they do fluctuate and last 2-4 weeks.. The way to break the stall is workout a little more and Protein.. I wish you the best Chris

I went from a 52" waist to a 34" I went from a 4x shirt to a large. Whata pain in the neck re clothes but ALL GOOD!!! Chris

H there. Im Chris. Id love to be friends with all... Chris

SAY BYE BYE we all hope to your diabetes,. Good luck and we all wish you the best with it. Chris

HMMM.. Only thing I can say on that is my surgeon said to me at the beginning.. " Im providing you with a tool to fix the problem.. What you do with this tool is totally up to you" basically warning me lifestyle change and it can come back if you let it. So i thnk you have to get on a mindset that is not instant magic and its up to you and your support staff. I wish you the best of luck with this.. Im only 7 months out but i have lost total close to 200lbs in 9 or so months. Please try and take on that mindset of it being a tool but its up to you no matter what Chris

Found that one out the wrong way. To much sugar obviously. Even the low sugar one. At the gym they make a PB&J Protein shake. Which is a chocolate shake with a scoop of Peanut Butter in it a few strawberries and 12 ounces apple juice!! It destroyed me for about an hour!! OK never again......

Ive seen several of those and all that I have seen they have all gained most if not all of their weight back.. Tells you you have to keep your eyes on the prize and as my surgeon said to me.. " im giving you the tool to have a normal life its your job not to abuse it!!".. So So true. -195lbs. 10-15 to go and i am done but Ill never forget,. Christian

Also have 10 almonds or cashews if you get hungary ,

Because when Pasta gets wet it expands and when it expands in your puch you will have ZERO room for whats most important.. PROTEIN!! Hope this helps. CHRISTIAN<<

3 years,, wow what happened. Did your paperwork get lost? HAHA that was a joke. Im very happy for you and you will be psyched when you see it all melt away... Im here for u Christian

Your an adult and I know it sounds odd but they are adults also at 17 and 19. You had to do what is best for you and they will know that when they see you skinny!!!! Its your life and you have to live Chris

WOW.. Im actually surprised your hungary.. Jello was my big thing the first few days.. WALK WALK WALK and REST REST REST>>> That may help you pass the time. Its odd though I was never ever hungary and still 7 to 8 months later never have the feeling of hunger. They say that goes with the Gastric Sleeve. Just saying what i was told by several people. Chris

Truly. Nothing to debate $4000.00 to live for your kids and your husband.. Thats the main focus. You are supported 100% on this board.. I was at 415lbs and now down to 220lbs in 8 months,, my results are not typical but im telling you it saved my life and will save yours also,, I wish you the best and I am here for anyone.. Christian

2-3 days when i had the sleeve about 7 months ago Chris

7 months later im still never hungary!! Eating now is a chore. I eat cause I have to not casue I want to. Its a normal experience what your feeling as far as I am aware Chris

HAHAHA.. I have it also!! Hey if thats the worse then oh well!!! Christian

NONE!

HMMM>. Im surprised.. come on get back on it. Lets go! Reminder Why did u have this surgery???? WHY WHY WHY >> Dont let yourself fall back. My surgeon said to me " IM GIVING YOU THE TOOL WHAT YOU DO WITH THE TOOL IS UP TO YOU!!".. Is it really worth not doing it right? Christian.. All comments made to help you think

Yes i watched it.. Sadly to say most of them regained the weight if i remember correctly. Im pretty sure I am correct on this. The went back to old habits, Chris

I have found it very easy to stay within the rule set for me. no drinking 15 min before eating and 1 hour after. Once you start doing it it becomes second nature. Its odd when you goto restraunt and you say no drink.. Most times they say not even water>? I say no thank you i dont drink while i eat.. Thats all. Another bit if advice is when you go out to eat get a "DOGGIE BAG" right up front and when food comes just put half in the box.. I know it sounds silly but it helps. I get KIDS MEALS also and a kids meal is like 2 meals. Chris

I was sleeved about 7 months ago. Started program in April of 2013.. Down over 190lbs. The only pain i have is the ammount of Vitamins i take a day twice a day.. I recently was told about an all in one Vitamin called BARIATRIC FUSHION.. Its only $25 per bottle and it takes care of everything.. You take 1 3xs per day. Thats it. I would recommend people checking it out. Hope all are doing well.. Christian

TY bee lee!!

tukey sandwich on light petridge farm light bread with 3 ounces of turkey and 1 of cheese. slice of tomato. Chris

someone actually said to stand on head>> ?? LOL.. sorry but thats a good one. Chris

sugar will make you feel sick.. i found that out twice.. There is whats called a MERCY SIP.. I havent tried it but I have heard its ok to have a quick sip of Fluid if needed.. I stick to the program.. Im almost at goal weight but i follow the program to a "T" Christian All the best
