Most Insane work out ever!
Christian Zaccone replied to chanelle102's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
thats odd thatyou lost 70lbs and no clothes sizes.... chris -
Carlotta,, Im happy for u.. I have heard issues from some people. Both sides. One person loses it and and other gets worried and it causes issues as well as the person that has lost the weight wants to go "test the waters" and see if the grass is greener.. Its all about how strong your relationship is. I feel if the man is not supportive of your choice then it probably not going to last anyways. Just my opinion.. The partner should always be supportive. Chris

How long before driving?
Christian Zaccone replied to Jaime_Boston's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
couple of days. right dont drive while on pain medicine. but i never took them Chris -
Well i am basically at goal. I am done really trying to lose weight because im under high school weight. I have raised my calories to around 1200-1400 per day. I do work out 6 days per week faithfully and have lowered my cardio to 35 minutes per day from 50 so i can concentrate on lifting weights and abdominal work. That is working out fine. I actually just got home from a 12 day mexico tip and hit the gym 11 out of the 12 days. Its a good habit now that wont be broken. I figure i am going to maybe gain 5-10 lbs of muscle but get leaner though i am in a 34 inch waist and large shirt now. Im fine with all of this. My weight will probably fluctuate from 215-225 but that is all fine with me. I am happy and thin..... Chris

Christian Zaccone replied to chanelle102's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
6 days per week.. lift weights eveyday, abs everyday and cardio 35 minutes a day. i spend about 1 hour and 10 minutes ish per day in the gym.. Takes 3 weeks to form or break a habit. So its easy! Chris -
Just tell them you want to live to a long old age!!! Simple as that.. I bet they will be very supportive!!!!!

8 months in and only few lbs to go so im going to ask this question..
Christian Zaccone replied to Christian Zaccone's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank u for that info re food intake,. Im still doing like 3 maybe 4 small meals per day of about 300 - 400 calories each. I see your pretty much at your goal as well. Yeah i suppose its all up to your body but you have done it as well. its amazing. Im going to see how i do when i weigh in the end of next week.. i was in Mexico for 2 weeks and just got home 3 days ago and needless to say the resort was awesome but the food was well YUCK!!! HAHA. I did the best I could. Now im back on a roll. -
8 months in and only few lbs to go so im going to ask this question..
Christian Zaccone posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am less than 10lbs from goal. But i have surpassed my first goal my surgeon set for me months ago by 30lbs so i changed my goal to 210ish. I actually had my first weight gain of 3+ LBS. No biggie I mean im lifting more weights and trying to tone now. Also I feel less restriction. I can eat more. Are both of these issues normal? I guess they are not issues but is what I am experiencing normal? A small weight gain as well as ability to eat more? Thank you Christian -

How often did you call insurance?
Christian Zaccone replied to likemeagain's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
ZERO.,, My bariatric center did this all for me. I would check with the people your hiring to take care of your procedure. They must have a business administrator. Chris -
i take meta mucil 2x per day mixed with my crystal light drink to assist. The Fiber really helps. Chris

At a loss bout not losing.
Christian Zaccone replied to TTC2U's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Dont worry about it. Stick to the plan and it will melt away. That is an early stall but it will stall for 1-2 weeks at some points. Dont get discouraged. Beleive me Chris -

taking the band out
Christian Zaccone replied to marymary1234's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Well I have heard this is very very very common. Thats why my surgeon doesnt even do band any longer. My understanding is they do the whole procedure at once. Cut the band out and convert to sleeve. I wish you the best of luck. Chris -
