Bariatric Surgery - 28 Pounds Lost In 25 Days - A Report

https://youtu.be/oTTQhuZwLXE

For those people who are curious to know and keep a tab on my progress - here is the overall progress of my Bariatric Surgery.

I completed my surgery on September 20th, 2017 at Silverline Hospital in Kochi, Kerala, India. I wanted to go in for the Gastric Bypass Surgery. However, at the 11th hour, my doctor managed to convince me to go in for the Gastric Bypass Mini Surgery.

To be honest, my Doctor - Dr. Tom Babu wanted me to go for the Gastric Sleeve and not the Bypass - but I opted for the Gastric Bypass Surgery. (BTW - He is an Amazing Chap!)

So after having the surgery done, initially it was very hard. I was afraid of eating the wrong foods. However, through trial and error, I am learning what I can eat and what I cannot.

Right now as it stands, I have lost around 28 pounds in 25 days. One of the main reasons for losing this weight is because I hardly able to eat anything. The second problem is - when I do eat - I get full immediately. So it is a very welcome sign for me.

However, there are also the mistakes that I make where my food habits are concerned.

So in this video you will get a no-hold-barred honest and genuine report of how my journey has been in the 25 days after the surgery. If you have any questions - please feel free to get in touch with me.

Why Did I Choose Bariatric Surgery Though I Was Perfectly Healthy

https://youtu.be/xMzDfgJP2kA

This is going to be maybe the most controversial video even more controversial than the other videos I have posted before. This is a video about why I choose to opt for Bariatric Surgery done on my body - thus changing my life forever even though I was perfectly healthy.

Normally people who opt for Bariatric Surgery have Blood Pressure or Diabetics or Cholesterol or are Absolutely Overweight. However, in my case, I opted for this surgery even though I wasn't morbidly overweight, I wasn't dying of Diabetics, I didn't have blood pressure and even though I did have a cholesterol problem - it wasn't a matter of life and death.

So what prompted me to go under the knife and risk so many things?

Why I choose surgery

1. A Family History of Diabetics, BP &

2. My Age

3. The Impact of Age on Metabolism

4. My Food addiction

5. My Body type

6. My Changing Priorities

7. Learning To Be Realistic

8. The Environment (Wife, Country)

9. My Will Power (Stress work)

10. Walking The Tight Rope

The trend today has become - Starting your own business or being an Entrepreneur. Almost every second youngster on Social Media has this intense fascination with running a business or opening his own business. In fact, today even the talk about dropping out from school, college or even a stable job to start a business seems to be apparently 'the best solution'.

Or is it?

In my own personal experience of people starting and going on new business ventures - the number of people who have ended up losing everything and going from bad to worse - has been too many to count. In fact when I speak to anyone - any employee or any student who tells me - Hey, I want to start a business - Immediately, I warn them about the dangers of getting into the business world.

The key points are

1. Number of hours

2. No day off

3. Before one boss - Everyone’s your boss

4. 1 area of specialization - Multiple areas of specialization

5. Money management

6. Lies & Fraud

7. Stress 100 times more

8. First 2 years you will be bleeding money - 90% lose everything

10. Bad Luck

https://youtu.be/xLJ5K7G2h_A

Being a Personal Branding Strategist, this is by default the most commonly asked Question - "How can I build My Personal Brand".

Why I Am Against Charity And Helping The Poor For Free

#loymachedo view

Why I Am Against Charity And Helping The Poor For Free

https://youtu.be/smKHUhToJRA

Consider the following requests:

1) Mr. Machedo, Can you help me for free?

2) Loy, I have no money. Can you...

3) Hey man, I am out of a job for months. Please...

4) I believe you have a good heart, with that....

5) If you help me for free today, one day I will....

6) Dear Mr. Loy Machedo, I am in desperate help and right now cannot pay you anything...

7) Brother, if you help me for free, I will always pray for you

I get tons of request - everything from helping a person get a well-paid job to help a person with money.

Not a day goes by when I do not receive yet another request to do, give or contribute something for FREE. Apparently, I have a signboard up on my head that says - Loy Machedo will help you for free. And the even bigger mistaken assumption people have is that - I believe in Charity.

So here is newsflash - I do not believe or indulge in Charity at all. Absolutely no. I do not believe in helping anyone for free. Nor will I help anyone for free.

Why?

Because whenever I have helped anyone for free - the entire deal and turned itself around and exploded in my face like a bad bad bad mistake. And after the incidents that have taken place in my life (which I have stated in the video) I stopped indulging in Charity.

So here are all the reasons why I do not indulge in charity at all and why I am not interested in Charity.

https://youtu.be/qVEJcnRDPcs

For those who know me, read my articles, watch my videos or chat with me know this one statement which I always keep hammering into the heads and hearts of people - "Go get yourself a Mentor". While most people feel I am trying to advertise myself (which is the truth), the fact is if you do want to succeed in life, if you want your chances to shorten the learning curve, if you want to avoid making many painful and expensive mistakes - then getting yourself a mentor is the only way possible.

In this video, I have stated all the person successes and pitfall that have occurred in my life and I have also opened up about the time when I did take a mentor in my life and the results that followed.

The key points of this video are:

1) Different kinds of Coaches / Mentors

2) Personal Example of Half Marathon

3) Why you should opt for Mentoring / Coaching.

So watch this video in which I share with you my experience been a mentor and coach and also having been mentored and coached by some of the great people I have met in my life. And as usual - if you have any questions on Coaching and Mentoring, please let me know.

5 Reasons Why I Am Not Affected By Online Haters

https://youtu.be/6xyB34a_AeM

The number of haters I have online is something I find very funny. In fact, I wonder what makes these haters of mine hate me so much. Its like I am busy in own world, doing my own thing, living my own life. But for some reasons - my haters find enough time, energy and opportunities to hate me. In fact, when I ask my haters to STOP following me - they even refuse. Some of them have even asked me - WHY SHOULD I STOP FOLLOWING YOU? WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TO TELL ME SO?

I find that very strange.

So here is a video that I created that deals with How I handle my Haters, my Critics and the people who love to Hate me for some strange reason.

I know we can never have everyone who loves us. At the same time, we cannot get rid of all the people who hate us. So this is my opinion on how to deal with Haters.

The points covered in this video are:

1) Everyone has a Right to their opinion.

2) Opinions are changeable and mean nothing

3) Money talks & Actions Matter

4) Clarity of Values

5) Being Busy

Dreams, Passion, Millions, BitCoins - The New Fads Of India's Youth

Dreams, Passion, Millions, BitCoins - The New Fads Of India's Youth

Today in India - the youth has access to the Internet. And with that access - they are swamped with so much information - they do not know what to believe, what to accept, what to reject. Not only that - they have no idea what is fake, what is real, what is bullshit and what is the real fact. Being a Mentor, Coach and Personal Branding Strategist, I receive over 1,000 emails from youngsters with requests from 'How to be Rich' to 'How to be Successful' to 'What is Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency' to 'I want to quit college and pursue my dreams' - the requests never end. 

The sad fact is - all of these youngsters fall for the 'Quick-Get-Rich-Scheme' or 'I can do it because....' without considering the consequences for their actions - dropping out of college, trying to take the easy way out or at its worst - believing there is a pot of gold at the end of the Rainbow.

In this talk , I am addressing topics like Dreams, Passion, Millions, BitCoins, Being famous and Being Rich - all questions by the Indian Youth who want to know - what is the "ELUSIVE" secret to success. 

Here is my version and my answer of Dreams, Passion, Millions, Bit Coins - The New Fads Of India's Youth
