But, A.J. - fruits and veggies ARE carbs! Not simple carbs, but still carbs. :) But, hey, I know what you mean! Hang in there! Hugs, Cami

[Struppa23]

Great video and good to keep in mind after the surgery...can't wait, watching everyone change their life is such a powerful incentive!!

[Fabydee]

Great video AJ! I need to take a trip down & see CJ sometime soon... Fab

[changeisgood46]

Thanks for the reminders about the basics! I'm only 10 weeks post op - but the success I've had sometimes lets me say, "oh, that one cookie will be ok." NO! And the drinking/eating thing, too. I will take your reminders to heart!

Congrats at 199!

[starloz5]

just found you & congrats on your weight loss so far as well as in the future.

[KLUNME]

AJ, I haven't commented on your videos before becuz I planned on doing lapband. One of my tests ruled lapband out & now I am looking at RNY & knew I needed to go back & look at your vids again. I was glad to catch this one & it is good for LB folks as well as Bypass.

I don't have a date yet but have insurance approval so I know I will be rewatching from the start over the next month! Thanks for your great videos.

[aweavermusic]

I just misspelled my own name... how funny is that!! Oh by the way my wife and I are expecting a baby now too!!! I am down 112lbs!!! : )

[aweavermusic]

Great update video!! Thanks and God Bless you, mama and the baby!!!

Trip cause I went and seen a friend of mine ..who I havent seen after he had WLS a yr ago. He said hes "slipping " off track now. BMI larry clued me into NOT drinking and eating . I dont know why this slipped my mind. But, now that I stayed to "THE PLAN" Ive started to lose again. Sometimes we all need a kick in the butt ! Super great video 12 months out 3 months out sometimes we need to hear it all again !! You touched everything I needed to hear and rethink . lots of love happy onederland !

[slcinoz]

AAAACCCKKKK...I'm so excited for you! yay...you did it.. woo hoo. okay now I need to go to bed because I have to get up in 3.5 hours at 3 am for Disney...Hugs and Great Job!!! : ) Shannon

[allisonpacino]

Great video...Thanks for reminding us what we signed up for in the beginning. I know I've grown slack on some things myself...Speaking of that...We need to chat...I need advice on my eating plan.

[ChubbyBear1960]

Thank you! I'm struggling with making the basics a habit and lifestyle and it's HARD. Thanks for reminding me it's worth the conscious effort.

[katiejuly]

[GoinDownInMA]

Great video. Your such an inspiration. I'm only four weeks in and hope that I am able to have the same success that you have. Question: how many calories a day do you eat now? And do you still have any issues eating food? Thanks, Bracken

[GasByPass]

[faithkp]

What an amazing loss AJ! Thanks for reminding us all to get back to the REAL basics. Even after just a few months... it is easy to forget them ;)

[clbroadway]

Thanks, AJ...Let's see if I can do this!

[smihud]

I know most of this video probably relate to wls but, can some of these basics be used even if you haven't had wls?

[MissJanieHere]

yes, they absolutely can...especially the rule for not drinking with your meals...that can help anyone.

[smihud]

OH MY THANX
