I was 477 the day of my surgery (489 heaviest weight) and yesterday I went in for a blood pressure check up with my primary care doctor and was 416!!!

I had surgery on May 10. So about six weeks.

Granted I have been walking 5 miles a day. I’ve been waking up at 5 am and lifting weights five days a week for the last three weeks after I was cleared to lift.

I’ve been eating about 1200 calories a day. 120g of protein or more a day.

Still is is almost too good to be true. I don’t weigh myself at home because I don’t want to be discouraged during stalls.

Sallie Lindsey — I’ve had zero issues with loose skin so far. I’ve covered that pretty extensively in this thread so I won’t rehash it all. These are the things I do to try to prevent it but I have no idea what, if any of it works. I could have zero loose skin and do none of this for all I know.

1. I workout.
2. I drink 90+ ounces of water a day to stay hydrated.
3. After showers I rubs skin so soft lotion all over my body.

It could be all genetic or gender or age. I do not know.
