WInston223322 replied to over65's topic in The Gals' Room
dumb idea those are the rattles to the play pen! As i a guy i want to have direct fondle ability! So my vote is No! I also should not have any input but having fun -
Just did this post last week - I went thru the same thing and it took me a long time and even with a Nutrioshinist was a b***h to figure out. You are way worse then i got but here are my specs Started 377 6 month later 165 One year 220 Scope: You are going to have to trick your body back into storing fat. This is not easy but I can be done, First thing get a ketones strips and make sure you are not in Ketosis. I was and that was hard to get out of. Check you testosterone level If that is messed up you gotta fix it. Next thing get your throat checked out you may have throat issues. I did and this made a huge difference on what i can take in. Simple Stretch and I was good to go. Now here is where i get bashed. I have no choice but to consume unhealthy foods - I keep my Meal Plan perfect in terms of all food groups and focus on soft proteins. But i take in around 500 calories a day in bad food also with my balanced diet. I need to stay at 1300 calories a day. I keep a bowl of M and Ms on my desk, TIny little candy bars. Will take down a kids can of Chef Boy Arde. I have a cabinet full of chunky soup, canned stews, Just high calorie food, so I slip one into my diet a day. Dips and Spreads are my go to for example Bar Cheese and Crackers, I have a aresonal of crackers cheese and spreads. Even went as far to get a can of Cheeze Whiz! Just snack foods that are high in calories and they keep my body tricked from burning off all the Good healthy food that i also eat. I also tried everything to stop losing and it did not work, One thing that may also help is The MRE powder, It is loaded up with calories and good things. I take a scope every day at lunch In summary mix up what you can do, Keep you Vitamins and Minerals balanced but sending different things at you body may cause a stall. For example I went off the Bad food for two weeks and started to loose again. You will find a mixture of Calories, Protiens, Carbs and sugar that you can handle. BE VERY CAREFUL WITH SUGAR, GO SO SLOW ITS SILLY IT WILL MAKE YOU SICK - For example I can only eat one peanut M and M per 10 minutes or one cheeze and cracker. You over due it you will pay for it. For all of you coming at me - This is common in Males, i have researched it and found many with the same problem, It was a b***h for me to get balanced and off the burn. He is in a Jam like i was, could not even lift a bag of dog food at 165 pounds. My ideal weight is 215-220 and It is going to take years to get the muscle back. I have incredibly will power but be careful if you can not control addiction to garbage food. In my mind it is a tool like a vitamin to keep me on course. Not for pleasure

Low B1 and High cholesterol - has this happened to you too?
WInston223322 replied to GinaFigz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is 100% correct I have had it my whole life, Actually ended up with 99 percent blockage of the widow maker. As you get healthy your body may stop producing it, Mine surely has. My heart Doctor has seen my levels jump around during this journey. Now as i stay at this weight my body is not producing as much anymore and hopefullly over time will slow down even more. Its a little pill every day No big deal if you have to take em -
Moving to Norway right after surgery, scared of doing post-op diet in a foreign country
WInston223322 replied to MoominMan's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I am sure you can find the food you like to eat anywhere - Just using this as a example In my area we have chinese food stores, mexican food stores, and of course whole foods that has a wide variety. I have been to Norway and this is not a third world country, I think you are letting the head games start, Also there is this thing called Amazon that you can order anything from anywhere around the world. You will be fine, just have to plan a little better. -

Bypass - How Far Will I Be Able to Walk?
WInston223322 replied to cowgirlcullen's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You will be fine, If you can not make it get in a chair outside by your uber car. Airports have wheelchairs and pushing staff all over the place. I think you will be fine to walk it but get there early and use the services if you need them. Lay 20 on red for me -
What is wrong with you Scared and ready? Just kidding there is not one person on this site who was not uneasy about getting this done, You are typical and as you have read most of us think its the best thing we have done, For most of us was a easy surgery also if that puts your mind at ease. You are getting a tool now get the workshop in order prior to the 12th.

Are 300 calories a day typical postop?
WInston223322 replied to over65's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Do Not fret the liquid stage but this is really low - I was running art 500 for the first few months. Make sure you are keeping the vitamins and minerals up high. You will crash if you don;t trust me I did. Yes at that rate you will shred the weight - Me and a few others here Ran low calories for the first 5 months and shredded the weight. But you have to keep balanced vitamins and minerals and supplements, that was the hardest part for my journey -
