@mylighthouse That is an amazing transformation! Keep it up.

Me at my heaviest - size 20 and me today - size 10. Enjoying the journey. 77 pounds lost, 44 to go to reach goal!

9 months post op
80 lbs down

People are lookin' and doin' good around here.... congratulations to EVERYONE on their progress and success!!

My starting weight:334 lbs - Original (sleeve) Surgery date Nov 2016; As of Aug 2018 150 lbs and holding steady.
Here are my progress pictures:

A lot of times the stats in profiles include pre op weight loss. So that makes it look like others are losing faster than we are.
I'd suggest not comparing yourself to others, or what you think you should be losing. As long as you are following your plan, you are going to maximize your loss.

3 weeks post op 35kg/77lbs down so far

In the gray/green was 3 months after gastric sleeve. And in the white was 11 months later. I maintained that weight for the last 4 years. The last 7 months I started to graze and gained a few lbs since I became a stay at home mommy with my 1 1/2 yr old but I’m back on track with working out and eating clean to get rid these few lbs.

So ignore my hair lol but the before pic 1st and third where 2 weeks before sugery and the middle(me pointing) is a month before surgery... the after was the day before yesterday and 20 pounds down since surgery ( 2 weeks ago today)

I have to say I disagree with this. We already have the fat stores to make up for this deficit.

Do you bring up all the hundreds of thousands of automobile accidents that results in death whenever anyone gets into a car? No? Then your logic that bringing up a totally unrelated, extremely rare issue that just happened to occur to your aunt doesn't have anything to do with your wife's current situation, like, at all.

Here's what I'm reading you saying:

"My wife is happy and feels healthy. Her doctors confirm that she's healthy. But I don't care about that because I don't like the way she looks, and thus nothing anyone says is going to make me understand that I'm wrong"

You came here looking for information, you've been provided with it, by folks that are right in the middle of dealing with it, but it's clear that the truth isn't what you were looking for.

Preop 279 lbs
Currently 219 lbs
Bypass 3 months ago
Been a really rough road but I'm still hanging in there!

I haven't posted in a while. I don't have a lot of before pictures (full body).
I started at 320lbs 1/1/2017, had a pre-liquid diet weight of 297, surgery weight of 280 (surgery date 9/25/2017). Today 8/7/2018, I am 211 lbs, so a total weight loss of 109 lbs.
I have gone from a 4x shirt and 52" waist to a XL and a 38" waist.

Thank you very much! Us guys have to stick together. I can be a listener for women as well...

You look good George, really. It sounds like you’ve put in some effort to save your marriage but if your wife is not interested then it is for naught. I think you should immediately do what you can to protect the family assets as any further spending could impact having optimal resources to care for your child. Do not let your wife’s spending habits impact your credit another day. Good luck.

Before you order a bunch...they sell them individually at convenience stores here in TX. Most QT’s and 7/11’s. If they have them in your area, you might want to try the flavors before you buy a lot.

Most important thing - can you tolerate them, or preferably, like them? These things don't do any good if they just sit in your garage unused after you choke on the first one. see if you can buy one to try somewhere first (I never got along with any of the RTD drinks; just learned how to make the powdered ones the way I like them.

120 lb different in two years. Going in for plastics on 08/14.

I’ll be five months post RNY in 11 days. Was 320 January 1st, 285for surgery, currently 210...
