Hello everyone i have posted on here before. I had the sleeve march 22 2012, so its been roughly 8 months. My starting weight was 350 im right around 230 ish now. I went from a 46 inch waist to 34 inch. I eat what i want now and do not crave many bad foods as i did before. And if i do it is much easier to say no. Anyway it has been awsum, and am super happy with it.

I really didnt do anything extra to keep muscle just lift. I have always had alot of muscle, but did lose strength throug all this. I am in the process of regaining that strength. I was a power lifter when i was younger so i think starting with alot more muscle helped me our alot. And yes it gets easier to bulk im doing about 120-140 grams of protein a day and 1700-2200 cals

Amazing transformation!! Congratulations!

You look like a different guy! I am seven weeks out and 58 lbs down. I just got back to the gym and you have really inspired me. Thanks for sharing.

How many times a day do u eat? What are your standbys and amounts?

Good job! I'm getting sleeved in January and these before and after pics from everyone get me so pumped up and excited for my future.

Chad my staples are greek yogurt, morningstar veggie burgers, bagged potatoe wedges i can put in oven(switching to roasting sweet potatoes with spleda mix brown sugar) and 1 egg omlettea with turkey sausage and cheddar cheese. (And an avacado on hard workout days) and those steamer veggie things. I am now really thinking of juicing a veggie shake a day and adding fiber supp to it. I love nuts but can eat so many of them i dont likw to buy them. And ofcourse i dont eat great everyday just when i eat crappy now i cant eat alot. Portion is about 1 veggie patty and 1 cup of cooked veggies over 20 mins then im stuffed. Although today inate about 2 cups mashed potatoes 7 big shrimp and an 8 oz filet in 2.5 sittings lol. And i eat anout 5 times a day

What a babe ....

Hey M. Will you share?: How are you doing in terms of excess skin? It doesn't really look like it's a problem. Was there anything in particular you did to help mitigate it?

Excess sking isnt really an issue a little on my tummy but not much hangover action.my arms just a little but are tightening up im hoping it will be zero issue it seema like it wont be. And i exfoliated 3 times a week, and used skin tightening cream and cocoa butter about twice a day, also vitamin e oil once a day, also took my vitamin and drank alot of gatorade g2 lol
