Oh YEHA!!!!! GO WOMAN Chris

Nothing here and its been 9 months!! Cross fingers casue i do a flat top!!! hahaha

well at a week in you shouldnt be eating anything solid i dont think??? Right? You should be on shakes?? I guess that is my first question.. Then after shakes for a short time it is puree for like 1-2 weeks then regular food. >?>? All weight loss centers are a bit diffrent but im checking to see if you are on food right away .. I can help.. Chris.

i might have aprotein shake 2-3 times per week.. not so much anymore. Im into crockpot meals now. Like ill put 5 chicken break in a crockpot raw with a large chicken broth, A full large bag of frozen carrots and another bag of frozen mixed veges. Ill live off of that for 6-7 meals .. Its easy.. let it cook on low for 8 hours and so moist.. Chris

yes bariatric fushion makes life simple.//////

Im sorry.. Maybe strict is the wrong word. Just stay on track with excercise, Water and Protein. Some woman the other day was asking why she wasnt loosing weight but she mentoned she ate 4 oz of mashed potatoes at a time.. Im like NO NO NO.. I have not had any Pasta, rice, starches like that of any kind since I started this. truly it is all about the protein and a small ammount of veges. Make sure you walk a lot... Trust me i know its hard to do when i was 400 and u being where u are it is not easy. Walk 4 times per day for 15 minutes each time and increase from there. like every 2 weeks increase by 5 minutes per walk . Im here to answer any questions that you have. Christian

Oh yeah.. I take in about 1000 calories per day and that includes my 1 Iced coffee,, I burn off about 500-600 a the gym at least 6 days per week,.,. Its a routine and i am still never ever hungary,, Its something to do with the part of the stomach they remove from you does control the brain.. At least i was told that by several of the medical professionals at my bariatric center Chris

Its so awesome not to be the biggest person in the room.. Or be afraid to go on airplane, theater or shows. Your head still thinks your big but your now NORMAL>. its awesome.. Keep going. Chris

If you do it the correct way you will be down to 150 in 12-18 months. Thats my guess.. My surgeon guessed 250 for me and i have blown that away.. Im strict and i dont falter. Chris

iVE LOST ALMOST 200LBS IN 9 MONTHS. SO YES IS THE ANSWER. CHRIS

ahhhhh..

Honest opinion is this. At your weight you could do it on your own. But you will more than likely put it back on plus some. My whole life has been up and down .. Now ive lost almost 200lbs in 9 months and i am so normal and will never put it back on.. You cant unless you "screw it up"... so u can but not me. I wish you all the luck Chris

Doves CRY... You are probably going to be MUCH MUCH MUCH less that 180lbs. Just an FYI.. i think that is what GMANBAT is trying to say.. You may be very surpirsed in a good way!!. Congrats and go for it! Chris

If you undereat your body will fight the losing weight and want to store food easier. You really have to get that Protein in to satisfy your bodies need.,, Chris

400+ Now 220

YES! Amazingly better

Puree was the worst for me. Yuck id rather stay on the shakes but your new pouch needs the puree to start acting like a stomach. The only advice i can truly say is my dr said to me " Ive given you the tool.. Dont abuse it cause you can go back the other way " Chris

shouldnt be but everyone is different as you will hear a million times over in here.. Wish you all the luck Chris

HMMM, First i would report the no weight loss to your surgeon.... Doesnt sound right to me. 2nd to relieve the gas i would do a lot of walking.. Maybe 4 times per day 15-20 minutes each time.. re pain in the collarbone?? very odd. doesnt sound like anything to do with the surgery.. I would contact your DR. In the first 4 weeks i had lost like 30-40lbs if i remember correctly. What r u eating.. YOur only 4 weeks out so you must be on puree food?? trying to help u..... Chris

Check out my before and after..... 420 to 222 now.

My Dr says that is quite normal and was a question of mine. He says 2-4 days everyone is different but as long as it is consistent.. remember your only eating 1000 calories per day if that and in my case i work out like 500-600 per day. So my net is very small.. I do take probiotic to assist and i just started a cleanse a few days ago and i have gone everyday. The cleanse helps but im almost at goal and i am just trying to take off the last 10-15lbs Chris

OK first thing is you should contact your DR and your Nutritionist. If you are following the "plan" and excersising as well you should be losing. Stalls dont normally happen til 2-3 months in and then another around the 6 month point. They do happen and that is what i was advised by several people.. Stalls last 2-4 weeks so that part is normal but it doesnt make sense that u are stalling this early.. What are you eating? How much are you excercising. Water WATER WATER also.. Id love to give you more advise but something could possibly be wrong also and that is why im saying you should contact your weight loss center.. I mean some woman was on here yesterday and posted something about eating 4oz of mashed potatoes. Cant be more wrong. I hope your doing majority Protein... I wish you the best and wanted to chime in ,, Chris
