  1. i truly was never stuck for more than 3 weeks and i am within goal of just a few pounds so I'm not worried. Im on here just trying to coach a few people. i want to help people...' chris
  2. Im within 10lbs of my "new goal weight" casue i blew the original goal weight out of the Water. IM actually starting to get to skinny. Several people have mentioned it to me. Im in a 33" ( from a 52-54) waist and large shirt ( from a 4xl ). Is it as simple as adding calories? I still find it hard to eat what i eat just cause of the fact that im truly still never hungary and i eat only casue i have to. Any sugestions??? Thank you Christian

    need a little support today

    I agree w fiddleman.. I heard there is a huge stall after 6 month. I am at 7 never had a large stall but i am essentially at goal weight. Chris
  4. Bariatric fushion is chewable and an all in one. take 1 chewable 3xs a day for the sleeve.. works great and better than taking 5 pills 2x a day Chris
  5. NO and no.. No you dont fast. Your body needs nutrients. No not just shakes either... Change your excercise program up and drink some more Water. That should jumop start you .. Also your only 25lbs from goal. I just did a cleanse for the first time and in 10 days i took off like 8lbs from that body cleanse. Try that. It put me pretty much at goal weight.. Bottom line is you dont want to fast.. Thats what YOYO dieters do. Ever notice wieght comes right back on after you start eating again after fasting. Just my opinion but my opinion on this one is right.. HAHA.. Chris

    Getting light headed, is it normal?

    Oh yeah. also.. if you are on blood pressure medicines probably means your BP is running very low and you should have it checked.. You probably dont need them anymore.. That happened to me within 4-6 weeks after surgery Chris

    Getting light headed, is it normal?

    YES> Low sugar from well not eating sugar. Its very normal.. get up slow. Chris

    HMMM been over 3 weeks. Thats a long stall.. Did you talk to your dietician. If it doesnt move soon i would make a phone call and track what you are doing for food intake and Water and excercise. I didnt have my first stall for 3 months and then again at 6 months.. Now im trying to actually stop losing. Im only a ew lbs form goal but a lot of people saying im getting to skinny. Thats ODD!!! When have i ever heard that one. Im there for you for advice. Chris
  9. I'm truthfully amazed, thankful to my surgeon and humbled by this experience. Back in April of 2013 I started at 412lbs. Had surgery June 24th. Now here we r almost 200 lbs lighter in 9 months. 52 inch waist to 33. 4xl t shirt to large. Just amazing. I used to love riding motorcycles so I went out and bought a new one for when the weather gets better. I go to the gym 6 days per week and I just always remember my surgeons words. "I've given u the tool. Now take advantage of it!!" I won't forget that advise from Dr Jiser in Chelmsford MA. Thank u

    Couple of food and timeframe questions

    i can eat anything that does not have a lot of sugar.. Im basically at goal weight and trying to slow down my weight loss.. i added in 1 300 calorie meal.. The only think so far that has not agreed with me is a dd hot cocoa. i had no idea how much sugar was in it and it killed me. Chris

    Couple of food and timeframe questions

    I would be very very careful of almost all of that .. Why after all your hard work would you want t go back to bread, doritos etc etc... Please be careful with what your doing on your new found "you".. Why ruin it. One dorito leads to 2 leads to 3 and then a BAG FULL.....Just doesnt make sense. I wish noone bad only good. Stay healthy.. Eliminate all middle aisles at the grocery store. You only need fruits, grains, meats etc Chris

    2 months out--ACID ugh

    Thats been my only issue but i take prescrived med for it and im all set .. just dont eat and lay right down.. if you eat you must wait 2-3 hours before bed and that usually will solve your issue. Chris

    surgery Monday the 3rd.... what ifs!

    Wrong way to think. What if you dont have the surgery,, Not to be morbid but you will probably die by 50. Thats why i had it. 9 months in and im down just under 200lbs. Saved my life for sure and no looking back.. So please consider this option becasue even if you lost it on your own you would more then likely gain it back plus some. Thats most people story.. So you are doing the right thing. Your being given the tool to fix the issue. Use the tool and dont ever go back the other way casue u can... Wish you the best Chris

    Foods you can't tolerate since surgery

    apple juice is a killer for me. I also tried a tea spoon of iced cream on vacation and it killed me but i was ok with sugar free iced creme. other than that im good. Seems to be sugar is my killer. Chris

    post surgery and relationships.

    HMMM.. Common thread in here. There is definately resentment sometimes with your partner. they get scared your going to find someone better though that may not be your intention.. Its been thrown at me so i kinda get it. Its a tough one. Im from Boston area but i own a home on Lake Livingston.. Is that near you?? Just wondering,,, I cant wait to get out of the cold!!! Chris
