Just had my surgery 5/24 and I am already down 95lbs. Had some back problems that put me on the sideline for about 3 weeks. Didn't realize that that would happen. But with the decreased weight my compressed disc, of which I didn't know about, started acting up. Now I have gone through decompression for the last 2 weeks and now feel great. What type of exercise should I start doing? Thought about buying a bike. I started out at 427 and I am down to 332. What do you guys think?

Oh man, come on! I hear ya, seems like we men are in the minority. Thanks man.

Everyone is looking great! Here I am from Pre, 1 month, 2 months and finally 3 months post op. I started at 427 and now I am at 322. Surgery was 5/24/12.

I started out at 427 on the day of surgery 5/24/12. By 3 months out, last week, I was down 100 lbs. My surgeon fully expects me to lose between 200 and 220 lbs. Just stay strong through the plateaus. Here are my before and after pictures as of last week. It can be done!

Let me go ahead and post the new pics from last night! Look above or back a page for pics from a month ago. Big difference a minth makes.

Thanks everyone

Dr Lord in Pensacola gives them to all his patients. Went to IHOP last Friday and they said that by law they have to accept the card and allow you to choose from the childrens menu. So my egg and cheese omelet only cost me $5 rather than the $9 for the same thing on the regular menu. Still too much but better than the regular menu.

From Pensacola, FL. Figured I would add my before and 1 month after pictures. I am 3 months out and 95 lbs down. Started at 427.

There is pasta in it. My dietician said no pasta period. Can cause dumping and is too heavy on the pouch.

Thanks!

He has told me that I can go back to any normal exercising, just asked that I visit him for core strengthening.

Thanks, good job on getting started early! I am going to be joining a gym soon, and will use their bikes, but was thinking of one for my neighborhood. I really want to get outside. I am ready to hit that 100lbs lost. I was hoping to hit it by tomorrow, since it will be 90 days since surgery.

Definitely bigger, by the screams of OUCH! Hahaha My fiancé is definitely happy about it though. But the drive has been more than ever, but that's not saying much. I am 29 and a guy so.....lmao
