Was wondering if anyone was the same and could post their weight loss pictures so i can have a vision in mind on how i would look. Thanks and this post isnt meant to sound creepy lol.

I'm far from goal weight but I was sleeved 7 weeks ago and my starting weight was 255. I'm now 212.

I'm so pleased with my progress this far and I can't wait for more weight to come off.

I walk every day and eat good quality ingredients. And always my Protein first.

Getting my sleeve was the best decision of my life.

Dude, congrats man. Thats an awesome amount of weight in less than a year. I am pretty much right where you were. 6' 369. How did the tattoo hold up on your forearm? Too say I am heavily tattooed is an understatement. Sleeved both arms shoulder to wrist, and have one leg done knee to toes. Off all the things to worry about with having major surgery, my tattoos are the only thing I am worried about. My surgery will be scheduled soon (just waiting on final approval)

The forearm tattoo is doing fine. I do have some loose skin under my arms but that is starting to go away since i been lifting a lot. The half sleeve will be a full sleeve and half uper chest piece this time next year. So working hard to tighten my arms and chest up.

I have a leg tattoo and my leg muscles didnt go away at all. My legs did shink but The look crazy muscled out. Happy to say I dont have to do leg days at the gym. Carrying around 260lbs for 15 years was good enough. I do run a few times a week.

So only place I would worry about is your upper arms if you have a lot of weight theere. Start lifting now to fill in the extra skin when it gets to the point.

      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.
