hey everyone! my name's Jimmy, i'm 28, 6ft 328lbs and my surgery date is April 26

Well this is definitely psychological as far as self-perspective. Just like your skin when you lose a ton of weight, it takes a lot of time for it to adjust to your "new" body, well your psyche is the same way. After being big for so many years and suddenly losing a lot of weight, mentally you still tend feel like you're still big person because your daily life cycling activities haven't caught up to the new yet. In other words, when you start living like a small person physically, your psyche starts to believe it also. I am a firm believer, Kiki, that we all "dislike" our bodies pre-op, because if we didnt most of us wouldnt be here right now. But to clarify, our level of "dislike" varies from person to person significantly. Some of us dislike certain parts, others everything. yes, there is possibility that you may not like the new you that will blossom, but you have to understand that with every lb lost or gained, we change, because we notice it and that can have both a negative and position effect depending on which side you land on. Me, on the other hand i have a goal to reach and a physique to achieve. So i will have no choice but to work hard to lose the weight then work harder to build muscle to achieve my body's true potential, well at least get close enough to it lol

Yeah I get pissed off also when people confuse the terms THERE, THEIR, and THEY'RE lol... It's comical to me

Hair loss doesn't occur for everyone especially if you're taking in all the proper vitamins and nutrients on top of everything else your surgeon and nut recommends

Congrats on the new experience! I'm a guy and but I enjoy dressing to perfection. I guess because my family wear always into different styles of fashion I got caugh up in the mix. Anyway, since I've gained so much weight lately I haven't been able to keep it cause finding clothes is hard enough, trying to match my clothed accordingly that's jus insane lol... So after my surgery, April 26th, I will be be one step closer to the fashion world. Sorry to drift off topic but reading your experience brought mine into perspective... Congrats again!!!!

Try going on a liquid diet for a week to break the stall

Ellipticals are great! I love them to death lol

That crying is your mental state catching up to your physical appearance. Cries of joy are the sweetest tears of success

Try to up your protein to 80gms for more energy don't forget to take your vitamins

i love that mans workout. I did it a few years back and lost a lot of weight but i couldnt seem to keep it off, i guess the sleeve will help keep my mouth close lol... i actually have all of his dvds too... Im gonna start with p90x then when i get much stronger im jumping into insanity

Yes ladies if you had big boobs before you will surely lose a lot of it. Because we weight loss is evenly distributed throughout the body. I know I'm a man and all but I kno several women who also have double and triple d's that ended up in b and c cups.

Same here. I was nervous also but the doctor knocked me out with a few meds and when I awoke it felt like nothing happened. Easiest test in the world. Btw I'm referring to the upper Endo

first and foremost, congrats on making the biggest lifestyle change of your life. Yes, it will be hard but it will worth it. The pain the beginning is temporary but the lifestyle change will be permanently satisfy with every step. Keep your eyes on the prize and enjoy the ride... It may have its ups and downs but ask anyone 3months down the line, the ups start to outweigh the downs in EVERY sense! GD LUCK ON YOUR NEW JOURNEY!

Damn you looking SEXAY lol... I hope you're feeling all the looks and stares with the success of your transformation!

Once I again I would like thank everyone for their support! it's truly amazing and beautiful to have a supporting cast full of complete strangers that truly understand the trials and tribulations I go through, no, we gone through Pre and post sleeve. Even tho I'm a Pre-sleever still I am extremely well informed about the sleeve process for many reasons Pre and post. I've actually sat down and spoke to several Pre and Post sleevers one on one and received a whole lot of valuable input. Through the course of my return I will post them up for YOUR benefit. After 6 months of being away this website still amazes me. It's Definitely a beautiful thing!

First and foremost, I would like to apologize to the everyone who was worried about me and thought something bad happened to me around my previous surgery date. I was going through a whole lot of chaos mentally, emotionally and physically with very little support, so i felt it would be best for me to postpone my surgery for a later date or until everything got better. I know I haven't posted on here since October, maybe September, I don't recall but I'm here to let you know that I'm officially back on the bandwagon. This time im eady to lay all my cards on the table and finish what I previous started last year. I recently received a new surgery date, April 26th, and I'm more excited than previous surgery date I received. Internally I feel at peace and now it time to let it show externally. As most of you may already know, the only support I have is my sister and you all! Everyone else I spoke about it with are completely against my decision and desperately trying to change my mind, but I wont let that happen, no, not a chance in hell lol. I also decided to start a podcast from the beginning of my journey all the way to the end of it. As soon as I get the ball rolling I will definitely keep you all informed. To all my newly sleeved people, from sept. 2011-march 2012, I would like to congratulate you all on taken a major leap of faith and joining the journey to a better life and longer life. You have my FULL SUPPORT! To all my future sleevers I wish you all the best of luck on the pre-journey, I'm right there behind you cheering you on all the way to finishline!

I kno you are looking for a friend to agree and support but I simply cannot grant that and enable you. Being too thin or too fat are both unhealthy and will effect you terribly. From the looks of it you trade one illness for another and both lead down the same road. I advise you to seek treatment and find a medium and balance that out into your daily life. We are only here to help... Gd luck & god bless

I was curious about that too. Will the ones are your arms and shoulders deform also?

niiice... racks on racks on racks lol

i need to drop 15-20 lbs... he wants be below 300, period!.... i guess im gonna do my hardcore weight-lifting and cardio 4-5 times a week

I went to see my surgeon thus morning and after hours of waiting, due to the high volume number of patients and the shortage o staff, he finally gave me a date! I'm utterly excited, after months i can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, Change is coming and I'm excited to meet and greet her! Doc said it mandatory that i get down to 300lb FIRST though, before my next visit which will be in a month... any ideas on how i can lose some weight? (already seeing my nutritionist, but I'm looking for Sleeve community assistance, who better to help you than the people who are going or went through it already)... feel free to leave suggestions and comments. I'm all ears like Dumbo!

The feeling of being fat is a psychological thought it will change in time to match your body

I'm going through the same process as we speak... They are a bit tedious for me
