Hi Andy,
My deepest and sincerest condolences on the loss of your brother.
First of all let me congratulate you on the fantastic weight loss/ 293 pounds is a major accomplishment in such little time.
Your body is now trying to catch up because you have lost so much and so fast. I do want to suggest that you speak with a nutritionist. You might not be getting enough calories to lose weight. If your body starves then it will hold to everything. You will have to figure out the amount you need to consume and how many calories are you burning a day.
I did try the 5 day pouch test. You can google it online.
I did it for two weeks straight because I am a carb addict and I needed toi break the cravings.
Journaling what you take in is very helpful. You also need to consume a good amount of protein. It must be 1/2 the amount of your body weight plus 10 grams more. So for example if you weight 200 then you need to consume 100 grams of protein plus 10 grams more. 110 grams total.
You also have to make high protein meals and meals that helps with burnign those calories.
If you have any questions I am here for you. But I must say you will contact me a lot sooner throught my email address. [email protected]
Take care amigo!!

Topic: Maryland Health Insurance Plan
Hey everyone, just wanted to say hello and ask a quick question 
I just applied for the Maryland Health Insurance Plan (the high risk pool) because I keep getting denied private health insurance because of my weight. I was just wondering if anyone else here has the plan as well and has gotten approved for the vsg? I know it's a long shot but was just curious

Topic: RE: Lurkers - Come Out, Com Out
Hello Lurkers,
I am new to the site, not sure I've been a member long enough to have earned the tag of being a Lurkers. I would like to meet others that have had the surgery as I have had it a month ago and would like to share my experiences.
My name is Gabe and this is me saying hello.

Topic: Plateau Blues
Its been awhile since I've been here,but ive Plateaued and need advice. Since you have all been through or will go through this . I figured id come home and see if anyone can steer me in the right direction. The Last 6 months has been very stressful and depressing. It kicked off when my oldest brother died of a heart attack in Sept. He was 4 years out ,but had went back to old habbits and packed most of what he lost back on. I scared to death that thats gonna happen to me.
On a happier note I did however see the plastic surgeon last week. Now he's submitting the request into the insurence.
peace
-Andy
