bigjoe102 232 Posted May 25, 2012 I started my journey at 489. My first consult was back in Dec. of 2011. Between Jan and Sept, I lost 86 pounds on my own by just easting meat and veggies. Surgery weight was 403. I am currently at 279 and feeling great. No regrets! I will actually be volunteering at Fresno Kaiser to talk to people at the first counseling session. 2 mome2mad and nursing38 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Butterthebean 8,146 Posted May 26, 2012 Hey Jared. I'm just over 2 weeks since my surgery and I'm feeling great. I was just over 400 pounds on my last NUT visit...today I'm down over 35 pounds. My doc told me that his male patients tend to have much higher success rate after this surgery. I don't know why that is, but I'm gonna stick to the program because I intend to be successful....and skinny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DadTo2 152 Posted May 27, 2012 I start my pre-op diet on the June 5th and have my surgery on June 19th. I am easing into the pre-op diet and have dropped 10 pounds so far, but I do have a question to the guys who have answered the OP's question with one of my own. Are any of you having any issues with saggy skin and if so, how are you dealing with it? (Jared, I hope I am not hijacking your thread here, but I thought this might be a question that would be on your mind as well.) Eric Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mctaverne 1 Posted May 27, 2012 I am almost 9 months out and feel great! One huge thing I would recommend is counseling. I have not kept up with this part of my program and find myself emotionally eating just like I did pre-sleeve. I was 310 at my highest and am now at 235. I look at pictures of myself right before, and when I look at them now, I can't believe I let myself get that big. Never again! Good luck to all the guys out there. I know the women like to talk about the fun of shopping for new clothes for their new bodies, but I have to say I like it too. 1 Lissa reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
