I'm a little more than 15 months and I'm at maintenance. I'm 6' 4" and started at my highest at 427 lbs, now I weigh 192 lbs. Probably some more out there with similiar numbers.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

I am still on the count down to getting sleeved and you guys are great inspiration. BigJoe I am close to the same lines as you were and hope to get some of the same results.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
