Great job. You look so happy.

I'm reporting all of your naughty women posting in the man room. You know the rules state you'll be flogged lol. I'm happy for the perspective you bring to the thread. Just don't post when we talk about our man parts successes or problems, or else you may go deaf or blind or something like that. Lol.

You're a new person congrats to you.

Thanks for posting. Congrats to you.

Best- from someone I hadn't seen in a few months. " Wow you look great skinny man". Worst- you're losing too much weight- Are you sick or on one of your temporary fitness plans". Concerned compliment- You're losing so much weight, good for you". The relative then went to wife and asked- Was I sick and how sick was I"?

Congrats to you on your loss. Great job.

I feel good about the organizations and the good work they do. I think my issue was with the economics side of the donation. I was waving goodbye to thousands of dollars worth of clothes. However, I know someone else will benefit from the clothes I let go. My wife put them downstairs ready for pick up in the morning. She said by the time I get home tomorrow, the clothes will be prepared for their new owner. Being the cynical person I am, I said I hope you mean someone in need and not a worker at the organization. Maybe I'm not totally crazy but a little crazy for thinking that,

My wife made me go through my clothes to get rid of my oversized clothes this weekend. I was more than happy to donate but had a problem getting rid of my new and almost new ( some still had the tags on them) expensive suits, slacks, and shirts. I had a wave of what if I regain the weight I lost- what would I have to wear? My wife kindly said, you have not cheated, drink only Water, and exercise like a maniac. So how is that going to happen? I then got into it and donated the clothes to the Veterans Administration, The Red Cross, and to a local Dress for Success chapter for lower income men looking to enter the workforce. All are great causes, but it was still hard getting rid of items I never or barely wore 2-3 times. Has anyone experienced this or am I being crazy?

Amazing job. You look great.

Welcome to the sleeved community.

We have all been there when we are new. We read about people who lost 40lbs in 30 days and we feel like a failure because we only lost 10-20lbs. STOP THE MADNESS AND THINK. You're losing weight and will start to see the pounds melt away over the coming months. Stay encouraged and be happy that you are losing weight at a fast rate. Now, step away from the scale and put it a way for a week. Weighing yourself multiple times a day serves no purpose other than to make you crazy. Your weight will vary with food, Water, bm, time of the day or month for women, and our workout. Good luck on your respective journeys.

Welcome to the forum. The forum is full of people who are here when you need advice, want to rant, and at times to give you a reality check. Check in often and feel free to participate. Check our the different topics to get a good understanding of what we have to offer.

Awesome job congrats to you.

I am 6.5 months out and 90lbs down. I did not like the re-routing and malabsorption issues related to a bypass. My brother in law got a bypass 7 weeks ahead of me and lost 105lbs but had some issues. I have almost caught up with him 7 weeks ahead of schedule. I also know three people who initially went with the LapBand and two have had serious complications. Two are having the band removed and will get revisions to the sleeve in the next few weeks. Good luck on your journey no matter what you choose.

Good job

Good job. You look great. Do you have a before pic you can post?

I have lost 90lbs since being sleeved on 2/19 and can only see the areas of my body that still need to improve or where I need to lose. I also know I am losing since I am wearing clothes a size I have not worn for 30 years. I can only see the 40-45lbs I still need to lose to reach goal.

Great job.

Great job. You look great.

Good job.

The choice is ultimately yours to make. I have a fairly bad case of gerd which is being managed with nexium. The bypass comes with some issues and challenges as well.

All of you look great. Your respective hard work is paying off.
