male only Guy before/ after Picture

[Livingthe Dream 0]

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Hi all,

After looking at my photos I still have trouble believing that was/is me. Let me know what you think.

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!

That Photo is about 8 months old. I am a little smaller now. It fits me a little better than it did then.

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.

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.

Thanks, I know it made a huge difference in how I feel. I did not realise how much it was affecting my health. I have so much more energy and I feel great.

Good luck,

Wayne
