  1. scarecrow

    Update from 2012

    So, I just wanted to update the community. I eventually had the band removed, complications. But losing the initial load, plus low carb high fat and mma, I look like this today. I chose the attachment. I was near 350 at the time of resolution. Granted, I gained a lot back. I'm 185 and was 168. I wish I did better. But I just eat to maintain now. If any of my old bary pals still post, I'd love to see where you are...
  2. Happy 31st Birthday scarecrow!

  3. Happy 30th Birthday scarecrow!

  4. Thanks Gerry! And Congrats on the surgery, I hope everything went smooth with the surgery. I know how uncomfortable those first few weeks post-op can be! It gets better, you'll forget all about it even being there soon enough. To answer your question I was completely millitant the first year and a half after the surgery. I kept a very strict exercise and nutrition schedule, I can message you the details. I still work out regularly nowadays and eat a certain way, but it doesn't take near the commitment to sustain as it did to originally get the weight off.

  7. shaney shaney shaney you look great! came back on here to get an update on all of my old LBT friends and to update everyone on me! i have set a date for plastic surgery... october 19! five weeks from now! TT and breast lift. i'm working out with a trainer still to make sure that im in the best shape before this thing so that i can recover in seconds flat. :)

    i know you said you were looking into plastic surgery too... have you been thinking more about it at all?

     

    update me! hope all is well!

  8. I have to ask you scarecrow, how did you do it? Am 5 months post op and am scare this might not work for me. Can you give me some tips? exercise? types of food? drinks? Anything bro, anything?

  9. One other thing... In your last post you say you no longer have the band. May I ask why you had it removed? Thank you.

  10. Damn dude, good work. I'm about your beginning weight and I just had the surgery last week. Thanks for the inspiration. If you have any tips or suggestions, I'm always willing to take them from a great success story like you. Keep it up, man!

  11. how have you been Shalee? Thanks for the comment, lol, you're sweet. How has it been coming for you lately?

  12. hey Ashley, you look great! You're a very pretty girl.

     

    As far as the working out goes, I'm not sure I used the healthiest motivation method ever, lol. First I have a picture I hate, it's posted in my album - and it's actually bigger and fatter looking than I really was when I got banded. I look like baby hewie(sp). I taped that to the cup I drink out of all day at work, and was forced to look at it all day long. It was more than enough motivation for me. Probably a little crazy though...

     

    Keep up the great work, you look fantastic. Don't lose so much you lose your curves though!

  13. lol, you're very sweet, thank you for the comment. I'm far from washboard abs though, lol. There is a small amount of definition, but my skin will never be tight enough for all that : D. Thank you very much for the comment though!

  14. Hey Una, thanks for the comment! Sorry it took me so long to respond. As weird as it sounds, I worked out as is bulking, and took in around 350g protein / 1800 cal / ~30 carbs or so a day and did my best to bulk on low cal. I'm still trying to bulk into my skin - lifting for size, 0 cardio, etc. I have pretty bad skin problems - nothing on my stomach, it's my handles and lower back for me... areas that get smaller as you work them, not bigger : /. Just makes it look worse. You look great by the way, I think you're going to fit into your skin much better than I have. Be proud man, you're doing great.

  15. Janey I saw you're considering skin surgery... yeah, me too. I can pull the skin back around my sides and it looks like theres a 15 inch difference between my shoulders and waist... I want it. I'm afraid of the surgery though, and the cost is astronomical. Let me know what you find...

     

    BTW, you look amazing. You were already pretty before, you look absolutely amazing now. Be proud.
