Way to go Cory!!!! that is awesome to cross the 100lb mark. Can't wait until I get there.

Anyone know a good site to help figure out a good target weight based on bone density and such? Maybe just the target Body Fat number?

Thanks

I don't know where they could do that, but i think it would have to be at a specialized place. Maybe the internet could get you some rough estimates, but like for me i know my university's physiology department has a tank that measures density. I guess you would have to find one of those. So should I actually now that i think about it, so i have a goal.

Nice to see the dudes thread is still going strong! I've been so busy with work that I havent checked in for several weeks now. Looks like the majority of people are doing awesome with the band!! Congrats!!

I'm rapidly approaching the -75lb mark and life is good. Nice to see everyone again! It might not work for everyone, but the band has changed my outlook on life. Wow.:welldoneclap:

Unfortunately I have only been doing limited cardio. Had I been following the prescribed routine of 30 minutes per day of cardio I would probably be down a few more lbs, but I've only been doing it a couple days a week. I do plan on kicking it up a few notches and doing it daily!

You're doing outstanding Jeff! I had to look twice at your surgery date. 74 lbs in 3 months. WOW!

Bruce

Thanks Bruce. You're on par for the same results!! 47 lbs in 2 months! Nice Job.

Someone I was talking to the other day was asking in-depth details of my progress and they finally told me that they thought that at the rate of my weight loss that I could have done just as well without surgery if I would have changed my eating habits to what they are now. I laughed and responded that if I could have changed my eating habits like that, I would have never been 325 lbs!!

Thanks Andrew. Yeah, I do look like I'm melting away. Maybe tomorrow I'll post a picture of before/after. I took a pic about 20 lbs ago and did a before/after comparison .jpg and it's amazing. I'd rather post a more updated one though. It's ok for a guy to post a pic of himself on the internet for a bunch of other guys, right? haha. :)

The crazy thing is that even though my appetite is still supressed and I'm losing 1-1.5 lbs a day, I think I'm due for a 2nd fill. My appetite is definately increased from when I got the first fill. The surgeon actually fit a "regular size" band on me and I'm the first male he's ever done that to. He said that it was due to the amount of fat that I lost before the surgery. He said that it gave me slight restriction right away so my appetite was immediately less, and that meant that I would get a very small first fill. I need to ask him how much he put in the first time. I actually had more problems with vomiting before my first fill, which is why he was afraid to put in too much.

I'm not going to force my opinion on anyone and I know this is not the cure-all fix for everyone, but it sure has changed my life with little or no consequence. Except a $15k loan payment! :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
