384 vs 264

Thanks! And yes, I'm still working. Shooting for a 6 pack.

It'll be a year in April.

That's great! I'm shooting for 225. I'm 6'3

Thanks!

Yes, it was after a nice cardio session. Thanks!

Just wanted to share my progress picture. I've never been too fond of taking shirtless photos, because I've never been in shape. Abs are beginning to form and I'm excited for it! HW: 389 lbs SW: 355 lbs (4/10/2017) CW: 278 lbs Shirts went from a 4XL to an XL. Jeans went from a 54 to a 44. Body fat went from 38% to 20.5%.

Thank you!

I'm 6'3. I do a lot of heavy weight lifting with compound lifts. Your surgery day is almost here! Congrats to you. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I lost 20 pounds my first week, and didn't lose for the next 4 weeks. It's your body readjusting to everything.

I use powdered peanut butter to make mine taste better, because mine also tastes terrible by itself.

I'm only about a month or so post op, but has anyone ever had pain in their tailbone/coccyx when sitting?

I was sleeved on 4/10/2017, and within the first week I had lost 20 pounds. (Started at 355 and ended up 335)I'd heard of the "3 week stall" but I didn't think it'd come after only a week... well it did. I remained my same weight for 3 weeks, but I didn't get too discouraged because my body fat percentage was going down and I lost 17 inches all around during that 3 weeks. Hopped on the scale this morning, and I was down to 329! My goal weight is around 235-240 but I'm sure it will change the closer I get to it, so I will see.

I had my VSG on 4/10/17. My surgery weight was 355 and I managed to lose 20 pounds the first week. Since then, I've been at 335. I've done workouts/walks every day since surgery. I started stage 3 foods this week, and I'm getting my required amount of protein, water, and vitamins. Just want to know is everything okay?

So, there's a local fitness group that's conducting a weight loss challenge, and the winner gets a free trip. I'm scheduled for WLS (sleeve) in 9 days, but I really want to do the challenge. Would entering the challenge be "cheating" since I'm getting surgery?

So I checked in with the club. They said they calculate for body fat loss and muscle gain/maintenance. If you're losing muscle, then you can't win. Fat loss only. With that being said, they told me I could still participate.
