Guys I'm nearing nine months out and feel good- not really I feel great!! With that said I'm six foot tall and now weigh around 210. When I started in April I was 346. I have very little skin problems in the waist, but no Six Pack either. I've been a Big Guy all my life and am having a small problem with the idea of being a Small Guy. That sounds like a crazy thought doesn't it. For you guys that have been out longer in the two or three year range where do you think I'll end up?? My surgeon at my 6 month visit said 20/30 pounds above ideal. My ideal weight is around 165 plus 20/30 185/195. Please give me some feed back.

Gerald, Since I am about 5 months behind you, I do not know where you will end up.  But I do think that you have done fantastic so far and where ever you end up will probably be prefect for you.  You have done really great and should be very proud of yourself!!

I think you'll end up at a geeky 145. You'll look awkward and everyone will point and laugh at you. Honestly, I have no idea where you'll end up. That is entirely up to you. If you think you are getting too small and want to slow down, put in extra calories. I would add 2-3 protein shakes to your regular meal schedule in the 300-400 calorie per shake range. Good luck.

i went way below weight but that's a whole different story. i just stabilized at around 150 and stayed there for a year. then when i stopped pain meds i gained 10 pounds. so now i'm around 160 give or take. the amount of protein and water you carry will make a difference. i mean muscle. muscle is going to weigh more than fat so check out your fat%. since i lift i don't care too much about the scale an haven't stepped on one in a while. it's all about inches for me now. that's a better indicator for me since like i said, i lift. if you lift too then the scale is going to do all kinds of weird stuff to your head. you won't be all that stabilzed (am i spelling this right?) but should hover around a weight. that's how it works for me. i can fit into my pants with a 10 pound difference upwards. so that's the guage i use...carbonblob
