Featuringcasp57 0 Posted August 4, 2010 I had surgery on July 23rd At the Washington Hosp Center, In washington DC. Dr T. Shopes was the Doctor. Everything went good, some pain and gas for about two days,and then it was clear sailing. My staring weight was 300 pounds, day of surgery 285.today my weight is 260 pounds. I so pleased with my results so far. I started walking 3 miles on Aug 1st. I'm on the losers bench now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

laylasmojo 10 Posted August 4, 2010 Wow! I am impressed. I wonder, do guys typically lose faster? I dont know for sure but from my expeience, most guys that go on any type of "diet" lose quicker the women because of the fact that they have more muscle mass and more muscle means more calories burned.(HOW UN FAIR TO US LADIES):confused1: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dickson 3 Posted August 6, 2010 Both my wife and I had the surgery 1 week ago today. I almost can't believe the results so far, 30lbs lost for me, she has lost about 16. Our diet is exactly the same, ok maybe I'm having a few more popcicles, but other than that the same. We are both up to a mile a day walks, this is on top of the up/down stairs and everyday moving. So yes I think guys, especially those of us who have a good amount of muscle under it all, lol have an easier time with the initial weight loss. Now to see if the long term loss is similar. I don't really expect a 30lbs / week loss that is for sure, but a healthy 5-8 / week would be good for my motivation! Will keep you informed. Great job on your loss to this point! Oh and I don't remember my PIN so I can't update my "ticker" so if anyone has a clue how to update this please let me know! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
