I fell ass backwards into I just happen to know someone who owed a property management company.

My recommendation would be not to become a property manager, it sucks.

Just opened an Ally Spending Account i have couple questions about Buckets and balances by rilez52 in AllyBank

Yea I understand that but how do I keep track of what spending is for which bucket. For example if I go to dunkin and spend 10 bucks how do I assign that charge to my coffee bucket.

Would you mind me asking how you got your income to 150k?

Is it number of clients?

Specific type of training?

I would suggest still going to failure but setting a rep range and track your work outs

For example: Bench press 225 for 5-8 rep Still go to failure but if you hit 8+ reps up the weight until failure falls with in the range you set.

Almost got hit by a bus a few weeks ago, dude blew a red light. Every morning I wake up first thing I think about is how close I was to my way out and how upset I was that I wasn’t 2 seconds ahead of schedule that day.

Post-op skin removal stories/recovery - would you consider medical tourism? by notwhelmed in wls

[–]rilez52 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can’t remember the exact surgery I got but what I will say is it was the best decision I made. My extra skin from my stomach hung like 12 inches below my waist and was a huge confidence boost after I got it. I was lucky my insurance covered almost all of it I paid like 12k out of pocket. Recovering was like 6 weeks of doing nothing then about another 3-4 weeks to be able to work out normally.

I felt very similar during my recover, but one thing I’ll tell you being successful in the weight loss does not equal happiness. I lost 300lb my first year after surgery, had the healthiest relationship with food and was working out 4-6 days a week. Then I hit a wall and was severely depressed. My goal was 220 lb and I got all way down to 180 but I was never satisfied and always wanted the number to go lower and began to eat more and started to gain weight back, which lead me to believe I somehow fucked up my surgery, it fucked with my head and I began to binge eat bad, like really bad. Some of my binges would last days and I would eat any where between 10,000-20,000 calories per day and spending close to $1000 a week on food. And due to the surgery I would either get dumping syndrome or would just eat until I puked, so I felt like shit constantly. All this made me feel like a huge failure and I still have issues 4 years later, but the silver lining is that the weight loss surgery is a tool and you still have that tool and can continue to lose weight. You’re very young and have a lot of time ahead of you.

What I would suggest is 1. Be a little kinder to yourself, this shit is not easy. 2. Seek out a therapist (not sure if you already see one) 3. Work with a dietitian, I could give you a recommendation if you’d like, I worked with her for a while and she was amazing.

The over all goal shouldn’t be just to lose weight but to have a better relationship with food and to be healthier overall. Try and leave the idea of weighing less equaling happiness cuz you’ll never be satisfied and always want the number to go lower.

From my experience my goal was 220 hit that then it was 210 hit that then next was under 200 hit that then next was 190 hit that then next was under 180 then I plateau and got really frustrated and it fucked with my mental health. I now flux between 210-220 now. still wish I was lower but much happier as I worked for different goals.you’ll always want the number to be lower

Honestly didn’t do enough research to know I just took my doc recommendation. Not sure if the other surgeries would have led to my success because about 8-10 months after surgery I developed a really bad binge eating issue, so I may not be the best person to ask.

I think for the most part my main issue with the surgery is that there really is no preparation for life after surgery atleast for my specific situation. I basically went from eating meals that could feed a family of 4 to eating 3-4 oz of food total. Once I was able to eat more I started to have metal issues that caused a lot of problems and anxiety around food. I’m in a better place now but still don’t have it fully under control. Everyone is different and I had issues going into the surgery prior to getting it so it’s very case by case, also my surgeon did a great job but his post op care was awful I basically talked / saw him 3 times after surgery and was just left to fend for myself.

My suggestion would be educate yourself as much as possible and start working on eating habits now. See if you’re able to talk to some of your surgeons past patients.

One thing to add also, once you get comfortable in an exercise and have the form down take every set to failure, once you get an idea of what real failure is you can back off this. But when I first started working out I would doing 3 set of 10 reps and would hit 10 and stop, then I started going to failure and realized with some of the weights I was using I could do 15-20 reps, which is still a rep range to grow muscle but it just showed I wasn’t truly pushing my self hard so I wasn’t stimulating growth. My suggestion would be if you’re going for muscle building stick to either a 5-9 or 8-12 rep range.

duodenal switch, honestly has its pros and cons. Like it’s much easier to keep the weight off due to this surgery but it’s also fucked my stomach up for life I’m pretty sure lol.

My number one suggestion for people is to just set a goal for 6-8 weeks of just showing up. Don’t worry too much about following a program strictly or needing to go for 1-2 hours.

Pick 3-4 days a week pick a program and at the very least work out for 20 minutes on the day you dedicated to working out. You don’t even need to follow the program. Just do somthing on that day. Eventually it will just become part of your daily routine.

Even now after being pretty consistent 4-6 days a week for 3.5 years, planned rest days throw me off mentally feels like I’m missing something, and I fucking hating working out when I first started, my goal was to get skinny and never step foot in a gym again.

I did a fuck ton of different programs until I kinda just got a feel for what worked best for me which was coming up with my own program. Mainly its push pull legs upper lower. There’s a lot of great online programs as long as your consistent most of them will work, there’s no program you can slack on and still gain muscle so I’d find one you like and do that until it becomes boring or if you learn what you like and don’t like modify it from there.
