I would warn you this my brother got all the way down and due to work stress building a house and three kids went off the wagon. He quickly put on 25 pounds and he has been working his ass off to get it off. Guess it comes off quicker and easier the first time. He was right at 2 years

Cold is a understatement wait you you lose all the body fat like I did you will freeze NOW for you guys to put this in perspective I live in Naples Florida as far south as you can go in the USA and I still freeze. I have a electric heater by my bed and sleep on a electric blanket.

Ok First of all congratulations and everything you need to know is on this site As for water DRINK AS MUCH AS YOU CAN min 64 oz is the goal. Now further down the journey other liquids can be put in place of water. For example I drink tons of Gatorade and electrolyte drinks but that is a long time down the road. As for moving for now you simple take it easy walk a little but you have to heal before you do to much exercise. CBC cream really helps the incisions Get the skin tightenign lotions and apply by the gallon durning this journey I have little to no saggy skin and I used it the whole time, Now once you are about 4 months you can begin a workout designed to tighten skin, Get a trainer or look online there are some great rubber band exercises. BUT FOR NOW CHILL OUT YOU HAVE TO HEAL WORK ON YOU SHAKE.SMOOTHIE PLAN AND VITAMIN AND MINERAL PLAN

Ok I have been busting my ass Since June of 2019 to get healthy - So for you starting out there is a end to the journey where you can have a little pleasure in life. So yesterday Kids came in with a surprise for me. They no I was a fast food junky! I must have eaten a 100 of these over the years. So I looked at it and new i was going to pay for this big time. Cut it in half and over 45 minutes got it down, It was good but I realize now you can enjoy food or you can abuse it. Other half went to my lab who has worked out with my this whole journey .
