Any Guy Afraid Of Loosing Too Much?



Recommended Posts

I'm nearing my surgery date (next month est.) and I have one thing that has been stuck in the back of my mind. at my heaviest I was 428 about 2 years ago. Now I weigh 359. My concern is that I dont want to weigh less than 200 lbs. I dont want to be that skinny. has anyone else ever thought about this or am I just crazy?

NO Brother....you're not crazy at all. I can honestly remember my wife saying...you better not loose your butt. For some odd reason she finds that area of me cute.

Women...easier satisfied than understood!!!

You're not crazy at all! I was 317 the day of my surgery on 7/19/12. Once I hit 220 I started to panic. I run quite a bit and the pounds were melting to the tune of 7-10 lbs a week (steadily). However once I started lifting heavy, I hit an immediate plateau on weight loss and began putting on muscle weight. Last night I was at 232 but my body fat is down to 12%.

That's exactly what and where I'd like to be...225 is my goal but dr. says less can be expected. I like lifting and working. I actually wouldn't mind bulking up with muscle mass a bit, least to help fill in the possibility of some loose skin.

I've been a Heavy Duty guy my whole life and honestly just afraid of being too small. But I guess lifting will help curb that....

When I hit 165 about two months ago (from starting weight of 285), doctor told me to increase calorie intake and if I lost more than 10 additional pounds to call her. I've been able to more or less stabilize it around 162 but ridiculous as it sounds, it hasn't been easy. After months of averaging about 1300 calories a day, it's been much harder than I expected to increase that to my goal of an average of 1500 a day. Frankly, I think it would have been impossible without my food log. Highly, highly, highly recommended! It takes all of the guesswork out of the equation!

Good luck on the butt! It took gastric bypass surgery and losing 120 lbs to discover, for the first time in my life, that I have no butt! Women say that size doesn't matter but we all know they're secretly thinking "He'd be a nice looking guy if he had a butt!" Lol!

Okay obviously I am not a guy, Lol and I am probably not the normal female either but when I had this surgery eight years ago I weighed 383 and at my lowest 213. I was happy there, never wanted to go down anymore. It would of been nice to get down just to see the 199 on the scale but I felt great at that weight and the only thing really saggy are my arms. I have always had big legs so my thinking was if they didn't look saggy at 213 that is where I wanted to be. Just my two cents! Oh and for the record your not crazy, I am sure there are people out there that feel the same.

I do have one silly thing in the back of my mind about losing all this weight. Currently I carry a compact size concealed weapon...will I need to decrease to a sub-compact in order to properly carry it inside my waist band?

It may sound unusual, but I never leave home without my sidearm.

      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.
