HurricaneU 131 Posted July 14, 2017 I started my liquid diet April 17th @ 347 lbs, had surgery the following week. Im currently at 272, so 75lbs in less than 3 months. Its possible, not saying its the best. The human body is a strange thing. Everyone is different, but thats why I make sure im not starving myself, I eat healthy, I haven't had any bad food days or bad habit days, I take my Vitamins everyday and drink about 70 to 100 oz of fluids. I workout 2 to 3 times a week. I havent stalled yet, but I know its coming. Plus men lose weight differently then women. Honestly I am more concern about how much better I feel than the LBS. I am concern that I may lose more than I want to, but if it happens so be it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElaineCofNJ 3 Posted July 14, 2017 Where is your before picture? There is no healthy way someone could lose 96 pounds in 3 months unless you just don't eat. How much did you weigh before and after surgery? Don't mislead people - weight loss is a process and life style and healthy eating habits have to be a part of your eating forever not just 3 months. I don't believe it. Who was your surgeon and where are you from? Having weight loss surgery is a tool that you use for the rest of your life - not a quick fix.I agree. That sounds a bit unbelievable Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berry78 4,261 Posted July 14, 2017 He may be adding in the preop weight loss, but regardless, this is quite possible if he started out as a heavyweight. Large guys can easily lose a pound a day for a while. If a woman lost 45-50lbs in 3 months, would you consider it unbelievable? Women almost always lose at about half the rate of men. My husband, who hasn't had surgery, is down 23lbs in 21 days, just from diet, since he can't exercise right now. 2 Sosewsue61 and southernbellair79 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LifeIsAllGood 272 Posted July 14, 2017 The funny this is about people that hate let me break it down. First off I gained weight after I left the Navy due to being single father, stress etc, doesn't matter... I always knew how to eat healthy, workout etc...just because you aren't doing something right don't come at me... I was 381 April 1st got down to 369 the day of my surgery on April 12th and now I'm 280.... I'm happy I can walk 5 miles a day and drink Water, Protein etc and I love sweet tea I eat I just know not to eat wrong.... 20 MissMellyMell, CStoned, watsongirl17 and 17 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are all in this thing to be our best self. I disagree. They were saying he wasn't being truthful, which he was. Explain to me how that is encouraging him "to be his best self"?That was hate. Dismiss it if you want to, but it's obvious that's what it is.Sent from my SM-G900W8 using BariatricPal mobile app 11 ProudGrammy, LifeIsAllGood, struggledailymom and 8 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
