Hey guys having good results I was wearing a size 44 before the sleeve and now I'm down to a 38 and I'm feeling awesome. How many pants have you dropped so far? I'm only 7 weeks out.

I'm 7 weeks out and I've dropped 1 pant size but the ones I'm currently wearing are a little big.

I think guys have a different perspective on weight loss sometimes. It's less about the numbers on the scale. For me, it's about my pant sizes. I gauge my progress with fitting into my smaller pants stashed away in my drawers. When I zip up that smaller pair, I get all excited and jump around amazed how good it feels to wear some old pair of jeans.

I was at my biggest 42-44, now 36 comfortably.

I like that I have returned to belt loops. As I grew, I evolved into mostly pants or shorts with elastic or drawstrings. I stopped noticing size past 48's. (xxl) I'm now squeezing into 38's and my goal is to fit loosely in 36's.

Can't wait!

I can totally relate to the pants size thing. My largest was a size 66; I'm 6 months post op and now wear a comfortable size 38. UNFREAKIN-BELIEVABLE!

Thats awesome! Idk about you guys but I need to get waist up down. My tummy and male chest os my issue. I can see my belt again too! But I need to be down more in my shirts

Looking good man. Congrats. I'm starting my liquid diet tomorrow w/ Sept 16 surgery.

I have started a new gym membership so I can tone while I lose. "Moobs" will be a big focus. There are some threads in the Guys Room on doing incline & decline press, and other ideas to help get rid of them.

Keep up the good work!

I started out 13 months ago with size 50 pants and a 4xlt shirt. I am now down to a size 34 pant and a Xlt shirt. For most of last year I would buy 2 pair of cheap Walmart jeans because I lost so many inches so consistantly that it didn't make sense to buy any decent clothes. Now I have completely replaced my wardrobe with nice clothes and I am back in business.

You all kiss ass. I can't wait for that time to come. I know I have saved lots of clothes from over the years, but I want those to be too big too!!! so one of my tipping points was busting a couple pairs of work pants that got too tight, now a week before surgery and only down 15 pounds, they are loose and comfortable! can't wait to shred those pounds!!!

Hey NJVSTuser, thank you for your kind comment. I have quite a ways to go to get to Onederland, but when it happens (well it's still hard for me to even imagine hitting that milestone) I'll be ecstatic.
