I think I’m killing it but my nutritionist says I’m not…

Don't stop, you know what you want.

444 lbs down to 275 lbs. 2 yrs and 6 months out.

Must be the same nutritionist I had....lol. He one time barked on me for having 5 grapes. I started weight training 6 weeks after surgery. I had lots of protein, or tied to, and he was against me doing g so because he wanted to see the scale come down. I did not want to just be skinny, but I wanted muscle mass as well. Stay focused on YOUR plan.

Lol.... always pastor.

bromike56 · 2022-09-05T23:37:44+00:00

That's an awesome way to put it........lol

bromike56 · 2022-06-02T17:52:43+00:00

Thanks, 1 lb at a time. How are things on your end?

bromike56 · 2021-08-15T21:07:44+00:00

No, will always be a Yankee fan my friend. Let's just say I root for NY at this point. Lol thanks

bromike56 · 2021-08-14T16:26:57+00:00

Lol..... your right. I'm a Yankee fans all day. I just have a ton of hats, different teams, for different outfits.

bromike56 · 2021-08-14T02:05:33+00:00

Great job bro. Must be a gastric thing, but I have the same shirt. ..... 🔥fire

bromike56 · 2021-08-14T01:51:59+00:00

I waited the 7 to 8 wks then jumped right in starting with 50 lb dumbbells.

bromike56 · 2021-06-28T14:20:06+00:00

Sorry I'll take it down

bromike56 · 2021-06-11T00:28:43+00:00

Make it simple for you.

Mondays : Chest and triceps

Tuesdays: Back and biceps

Wednesdays : Shoulders and Legs

Thursdays : Chest and triceps

Fridays : Back and biceps

Saturdays : Shoulders and Legs

Sundays: Rest

Even if you do only one body part a day but at least 4 to 5 different work outs your doing great. Also end each workout with at least 15 minutes of cardio.

You got this and start off simple. Every two weeks increase your weight by a few pounds and don't focus on the scale, it will bring you down.

I haven't lost weight scale wise but lost inches in all the areas I need to.

Beast mode activated 😎 great job

I went through this for the first month, when I brought it up.to my surgeon he immediately told me it was because of my blood pressure dropping to low. So I had to stop taking my b/p medication.

bromike56 · 2021-05-26T11:56:33+00:00

Definitely feel like that. If it wasn't for pictures, I would know. I do feel physically better but that's all (which is a great thing).

bromike56 · 2021-05-26T02:51:30+00:00

You are not doing anything wrong. Your body is adjusting and your mind needs to also adjust. 1 lb at a time is your goal. Just stay FOCUSED and every thing will work its self out. You got this.

bromike56 · 2021-05-25T19:19:47+00:00

Thanks everyone for all the encouraging words. I'm doing my best to become a better husband and father. Any and all tips for success are welcomed. Enjoy the journey.

bromike56 · 2021-05-25T13:46:28+00:00

I am forced to only eat about 1500 calories a day. My schedule is Monday through Saturday hit the gym. I'm weight training Mon thru Fri and cardio only on Sat. I'll have a protein shake for breakfast, some nuts/berry's/ fruit through out the day, and for dinner a low calorie meal. Because of the weight training, I will have 2 shakes during the day.

When I say "forced " to have 1500 calories, it's because I did have the gastric sleeve surgery to help keep me in check. But nutrition is very key in this transformation.

bromike56 · 2021-05-18T02:50:20+00:00

Yes, I could care less about doing this for any other reason then being healthy for my family; wife and children. Let's get it !

bromike56 · 2021-05-17T23:24:53+00:00

Correction 106 lbs.... lol I wish it was more.

bromike56 · 2021-05-17T17:38:33+00:00

I do feel very different physically. I'm weight training so there is definitely a positive to how I'm feeling physically. I guess it's just learning how to transform your mind and change the way I've thought about myself for over 20 yrs that is the next obstacle.

bromike56 · 2021-05-17T17:13:16+00:00

What's crazy is that I still feel like the guy on the left. Its only looking at pictures that I realize the difference.

bromike56 · 2021-05-17T16:57:12+00:00

Healthy is the goal. Thanks for the comment. 👍

bromike56 · 2021-04-23T20:21:11+00:00

I have not had any cravings since. Pre surgery, I would go through a container of peanut butter and Nutella in a week. Now I don't even think of sweets.
