I'm 7 weeks out and I've dropped 1 pant size but the ones I'm currently wearing are a little big.

I think guys have a different perspective on weight loss sometimes. It's less about the numbers on the scale. For me, it's about my pant sizes. I gauge my progress with fitting into my smaller pants stashed away in my drawers. When I zip up that smaller pair, I get all excited and jump around amazed how good it feels to wear some old pair of jeans. :lol:

I was at my biggest 42-44, now 36 comfortably.

I like that I have returned to belt loops. As I grew, I evolved into mostly pants or shorts with elastic or drawstrings. I stopped noticing size past 48's. (xxl) I'm now squeezing into 38's and my goal is to fit loosely in 36's.

I can totally relate to the pants size thing. My largest was a size 66; I'm 6 months post op and now wear a comfortable size 38. UNFREAKIN-BELIEVABLE!

Looking good man. Congrats. I'm starting my liquid diet tomorrow w/ Sept 16 surgery.

I have started a new gym membership so I can tone while I lose. "Moobs" will be a big focus. There are some threads in the Guys Room on doing incline & decline press, and other ideas to help get rid of them.

Keep up the good work!

I started out 13 months ago with size 50 pants and a 4xlt shirt. I am now down to a size 34 pant and a Xlt shirt. For most of last year I would buy 2 pair of cheap Walmart jeans because I lost so many inches so consistantly that it didn't make sense to buy any decent clothes. Now I have completely replaced my wardrobe with nice clothes and I am back in business.

You all kiss ass. I can't wait for that time to come. I know I have saved lots of clothes from over the years, but I want those to be too big too!!! so one of my tipping points was busting a couple pairs of work pants that got too tight, now a week before surgery and only down 15 pounds, they are loose and comfortable! can't wait to shred those pounds!!!

      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.
