Finding Before and After Pictures of men is proving difficult as the main forum is mainly women. I think we men should share some success photos here in the guys forum. I will share as soon as I have some results. Surgery in 1 month! I need some inspiration.

Kicking ass Tink!

Actually I should have posted this picture up instead of the other one. IMG_20160701_081012.jpg

Thank you.

Posting just because I like the shirt. Being big for so long I didn't know clothes came in colors other than black

It's been almost a month on my new regiment. I don't feel any significant strength increase, but I do believe I'm seeing a physical response. I'm going to keep doing it before I pass judgement. IMG_20160629_132641~01.jpg

Latest picture update. I don't think I am gaining any size, but maybe some definition.

BigJnav, How is the split going? Did you ever make a thread on your workout?

sorry man. Life has been happening pretty quickly for me since me last post in this thread. Baby, buy/sell home, new career. I'll post it once I get to my laptop! Sorry for the delay.

One of my more recent gym selfies. I've been working on my strength for the last few months (low reps / high weight).

I think I'm getting to the point where I'm afraid of losing too much weight. I'm down to 190 lbs and I've been trying to bulk up back to 200 lbs. My trainer and I have tried to change my diet to minimize further weight loss.

Any suggestions?

How long did you wait after weight training to start lifting weights?

So, since I started this thread, and have some progress to share, I feel like I should finally contribute some of my photos.

I had Gastric Bypass on 4/13. Started liquid diet on 4/1. Starting weight: 292. Current weight: 195. Total weight loss: 97 lbs.

OK, it's been a while guys. We need some more activity up in this here thread. Tonight was a big evening for me. I have a bunch of s h i t going on right now so I have hit the weights with a heightened sense of focus. And it is finally paying off.

I got my deadlift up to 225lbs!

Not the greatest quality, but it is from my form check video. I got my squat up to 185lbs, but my form check video showed that I was not getting deep enough, so I lowered the weight and and just trying to teach my body the form until it is muscle memory. Personally, super proud of this deadlift accomplishment. And yeah, I am kinda happy with how my chest, traps, and shoulders look!

@@BigTink2LilTink @Dub... I haven't heard from you guys in a while. How goes the progress? Avoiding injury I hope!

Ok, so I will start sharing in here too. 6 months down the road post op, lost over 70 pounds, and I hit the gym 5-6 times per week, still more cardio than weight lifting. I do 15 minutes of elliptical as warm up, 30-40 minutes weights and work different muscle groups every day. I don't work on my legs as I run a 5k to finish my session. I start to see nice results in the back, arms and pectoral. Shoulders needs more work. I don't do as many abs as I should, but that is not my focus for now. I eat about 130 grams of Proteins per day when I work out and use C4 as pre workout. My training is in the morning (usually 6h45 to 8h15). I try to sleep at least 6h per night, but barely make it and it is a problem for me.

Mico.
