: Episode 653 - Listener and NSNG follower York joins Vinnie today to discuss lap-band failure and how NSNG is changing his life. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR Pure Vitamin Club YORK York is his middle name His first name is Lawrence and his dad is Larry, so he has always been referred to by his middle name He is more a reader and a tweeter Looking for a lifestyle that didn't have to do with looking ingredients up in a book or calorie counting He liked the simplicity of NSNG He is 11 days in and his energy and sleep has improved greatly He noticed a huge change in his palette too, and has stopped smoking Fortunately, smoking culture has changed and people smoke significantly less or less in public now From the South LAP-BAND FAILURE York's heaviest weight was 345 Right now he is 315 This is the first time in his life that he has not calorie counted or drank shakes, etc. Many of Vinnie's callers have had this surgery Sure, you can't eat because your stomach is significantly smaller, but then you aren't getting nutrients Other problems include reflux issues and much more York had his filled up with so much fluid that he woke up in the middle of the night gasping for air Now he doesn't have fluid, but it's still hard sometimes to digest things and get them through It also restricts what type of food you can eat and when you can eat, which if you decide to eat like NSNG, can be very difficult He feels very liberated doing NSNG now He is going to try to get on a food preparation schedule because when one goes to restaurants there are always hidden and naughty ingredients That being said, NSNG is SO worth it and York loves it
