Stall Stories
Christian Zaccone replied to MizNola's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had 3 stalls in 8 months. They do happen.. But then you lose fast and then stall.. Picture walking down stairs. YOU lose and lose and lose and then level and then another stair comes. Same idea. Chris -

Emotions
Christian Zaccone replied to Pretty_In_Purple's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
close your eyes and halt! Do want to live or Not. Im not just talking about dying. Im talking about LIVING> - Having youthful energy - going on airplane with no fears - going to movies or theater with no fears - going on an amusement ride with no fears. - Being discriminated against by numerous people etc etc etc!!! You will notice 1 year after this the doors of opportunity will all open up. Chris Listen to me. I am RIGHT! -
4 weeks post op is way way to soon to be doing that to your damaged stomach incision .. i think you will be fine but it takes a lot longer than a month. try 3-6 months. I eat spicy food now just fine. chris

Body image issues
Christian Zaccone replied to mage54's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
if youve lost 200lbs your mind is playing tricks on you if you cant tell.. unfortunately at that weight you will probably want to look into skin surgery.. Its worth it. Good luck certainly and your doing great -
Update for some that read my "stuff". Ive stopped losing.. For the last month ive fluctuated as low as 210 and as high as 217. Im staying right in the middle. Perfect for me. High school weight was 212. Im a 34inch waist and large shirt now and now its all about backing off of cardio and working on weight training.... I wanted to put the breaks on and ive increased calories to about 1300-1500 per day and that includes those little hidden ones. Workout 6 days per week but down to 25 minutes cardio per day and about 20-30 minutes of weight lifting per day. Seems about right for me. Im there is anyone has any questions email me or message me. I may be backing off this site a bit. Some people are extremely hypersensitive about the smallest things. Kinda crazy. Truly though i believe this saved my life and if anyone has any questions feel free please to email me Thank u Christian

Newbie needs help!
Christian Zaccone replied to kimpatcan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
HMMMM.. ID check on that.. They actually pump you with gas and you have to get rid of the gas by walking. In the first 2 weeks i lost like 28lbs ish. I would just ask your dietician/nurse. I agree with IROCKEDTHE80s re the trauma and you are swollen, Hey im still rocking the 80's in the 2010's.. M3 ROCK Festival coming up in a few weeks!! -

Started eating more! Why
Christian Zaccone replied to AR40's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
more than likely if your not losing weight and you are smoking they wont do the surgery.. If they do they are risking your health.. You need to shrink your liver by losing weight before surgery and the smoking before surgery is a huge no no.
