Like everyone else has said, you look great and it's good to have more muscle because muscle burns at least 4 times as many calories as fat does (Dr. Oz, on metabolism). Keep up the good work!

Yes muscle weighs more than fat. That was my problem before I started my process, I was lifting and the scale was going up and my clothes were getn bigger. BTW....... You look great!

Before I had this surgery I was worried about loose skin and not having any muscle tone after the surgery. Well I am proud to say that I am a year out of surgery and I don’t have any loose skin. I have always lifted weights and wanted continue after I had my surgery. I am going to be honest when I got back in the gym after surgery I was extremely weak' date=' in college I could bench about 475 lbs., when I got back in the gym I could barely bench 145 lbs. I stuck to it and now I am up to 375 lbs., I work out 4 days a week and I swim 3 say a week. I don’t run or walk because of the stress on my knees, I think once I get to my target weight I will start to run. Just recently I have noticed that I have gained 15 lbs. but my waist and my shirt size has reduced by 3 sizes. At first I was frustrated about the weight gain but I was told that I am gaining muscle mass and it is much heavier than fat. I think I am going to add more cardio to my routine so I can get to my target weight then I will continue my weight regimen. I am so glad I decided to have this surgery..it has really changed my life!!![/quote']

U do look really good it seems like u know what to do being that u played football so do u have any tips for us ladies that don't wanna be all flabby. I was sleeved on 11/12/12

Coki the easy part will be losing the weight...u cant eat so u will lose weight very fast, the hard part is changing your body, you have to eat lots of Protein and make sure u add some type of weight regimen to make sure u dont all that loose skin.

Bawse u look amazing dude. How soon after could you really get into weight lifting? I know you mentioned you were weak at first. Wandering if u had to increase the Protein intake to do weight lifting and byhow much? Sorry for bombarding with questions but u justgave memore confidence to go thru with this. I lift weights and want really know when i ll be back doing this. Loose skin is def scary thing. Yhanks for sharing my man
