Today (Nov 18th) I'm 2 months out from my VSG

[Neoteric Verve 65]

I am down 57lb and I feel great. My face is smaller and my feet are narrower. I lost 3% bodyfat and I am not sure what my BMI is because I don't put much stock into it. I'm about getting a healthy BF%. Anyways, I am now 383lb and not 440lb which is great only two months out.

Dr Teng is gonna flip! My next appointment is January 30 and he had a target of 375lb when I see him then. I track my total weight loss by splitting the LBM and BF%. Thus far I lost 20lb of LBM and 37lb of BF. I think now is where I will stop losing as much muscle because I have been back into my weight lifting. And I don't do too much. I walk home from work (3-4 days a week) & use my kettlebells 4-5 times weekly for less than 5min at a time. I do need to dial in a better supplement routine. For anyone struggling pre-op with carb cravings, I highly recommend taking 500mcg of Chromium Picolinate in the morning. It helped me curb (not eliminate) a big carb thing.

People at work notice my loss more than I do. If it weren't for my scrubs being looser I wouldn't notice. The only "downside" is that I've become slightly narcissistic. I will catch myself gazing at my reflection periodically. I can only hope that I get to enjoy more of this. I like seeing the scale move in the right direction for a change.

Bro, how do you figure your LBM vs BF?

I cannot wait to get back into lifting...

Also, when do you know its waterweight vs something else??

Congrats, you are doing so well! May it long continue...and it's okay to be checking yourself out...we all do it, hey it's part of the fun stuff!

Rock on!! I think it's great that you've checked yourself out. I've only lost 24lbs and I was checking out my flatter tummy in the mirror this weekend. My scrubs are much more baggy too. Especially in the tush area. I'm loving it! Can't wait until I can get into what I call "my cute scrubs". After I gained too much weight to wear them, I put them in a box and vowed that some day I will wear them again. I think you BF% tracking is awesome. I think I will do something similar. I'm an athlete DEEP down inside. I still play on a weekly volleyball league and love sports. I wouldn't want to lose muscle mass. I need those muscles to kick butt in vball! LOL! Plus I would like to have a femine but athletic figure. You're doing a great job. Keep it up!

57 pounds in 2 months that's fantastic!!! All of your hard work is truly paying off. Just imagine how much more you'll lose between now and your next appointment. Your doctor really will flip. Keep up the good work and congratulations of a job well done.

Cheers!
