How Many Guys Are On This App



Recommended Posts

Im in Shreveport. Did 22 years in army and after retiring and working in office the weight "exploded" onto me. Highest weight 291. Surgery weight 282. Current weight 248 @ 4weeks postop. No more hbp, cholesterol, prediabetic. Probably no more sleep apnea. I "fit" in airplane seats again. I breathe SO much better! Sex drive has picked back up. There's very little "bad" about the surgery. Can't eat a burger or pizza which isn't so bad! I chose RNY because there was only going to be one cut on me! I wanted success and not messing around with bands and all.

I'm READY!!!

Met with the surgeon last week and February 22nd can't get here soon enough. My last official class for the 3 month program was Friday. The bariatric surgery review board will meet the Thursday after Christmas and discuss all possible patients.

As of Friday I had successfully lost 36 pounds which I am VERY proud of!!!!!!!!

I'm currently preparing and tasting various kinds of clear Liquid Protein options so I know what I will be able to handle during my clear liquid phase.

My motivation has been 6 preop photos that I had my wife take before I began this journey. I keep them in my bedside table and view them EVERY morning and night. I will NEVER let myself look like that again.

Thanks you all for listening. I wish everyone much success.

And most importantly...being a loser can make you feel like a winner if the company is proper!!!!!!!!

Jeff

Hi everybody. 30 years old, married and a father of a 7 year old girl. highest weight 450lbs. Weight at surgery was 408.6. Surgery was 12/18/12. I've got way too many reasons to list as to why I got the surgery. Besides from being excessively overweight, my health is very good and I didn't want that to change. I am from Toronto Ontario Canada. Nice to finally meet the guys on this forum.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
