Livingthe Dream 0 Posted November 28, 2007 Hey Guys, I know that typically we are not the sharing type but would anyone be willing to post some before and after pictures? I am scheduled for surgery on Dec 18th and I am trying to get the correct expectation. I know there is a picture before/after section and I have gone through the 100+ postings but most postings are ladies. We all have the same issues I'm sure. I would like to lose the belly and somehow lose the man boobs so I can wear a shirt without feeling uncomfortable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TxArcher 2 Posted December 2, 2007 I just had my band placed on Nov. 28th. All I got are before pics. I will post them up anyway just to get the ball rolling! Here goes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TxArcher 2 Posted December 2, 2007 By the way... the before pics were taken the first day of my Pre-Op diet. I lost 25 lbs just in the 2 weeks before my surgery. I went from my peak of 400 lbs, to 375 lbs. I think I am in the 360's now but will not step on a scale again until Wednesday. That is when I see my Doc again.

Livingthe Dream 0 Posted December 3, 2007 Manatee, Holy Crap man you have really made some impressive progress. Can you tell us your routine or your activity level. I am glad that you and Cagstorm took the time to post and I appreciate it. I really needed a guy that has made this work for him and I am really happy to see that you are living the dream.

Livingthe Dream 0 Posted December 3, 2007 Ok, I should have rephrased that last sentence but you know what I meant. I needed to see results from someone that looked more like me so I have something to shoot for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HunterCol 0 Posted December 9, 2007 Good going John! One of the things I want once I get to goal (or close) is a new leather riding jacket. I just fit in mine now, but want it smaller size! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuono_John 0 Posted December 10, 2007 That Photo is about 8 months old. I am a little smaller now. It fits me a little better than it did then. John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gometros 0 Posted December 11, 2007 I have a leather bomber jacket that was my dad's from WWII. The last time it fit me I had lost a lot of weight (on Medifast about 18 years ago) and had put some money into fixing it, since it was showing a little sign of age and wear. It's my goal to fit back into it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bhamalguy37 0 Posted January 15, 2008 I was banded December 18, 2006 The before pic was taken the day before surgery and the after was about a week after my one year anniversary. The band has been one of the best decisions I ever made. Still have about 10-15 lbs to go and I will be at my goal weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
