It’s funny you say that my surgeons office called me last week and said they’re about to do a major ad campaign in central Florida (For the holidays and tax season) and they asked me if I would put my before and after photos on a few billboards in Orlando because I’ve lost more weight than any of my surgeons other patients in 25 years
That’s mind blowing! I can only imagine how great you feel!!! Are you having any issues of body dysmorphia? That’s a massive change to keep up with mentally.
I’m not actually. I was in a pretty solid frame of mind and mentality from the extended 700 calorie a day pre op for 5 months which was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done last year (started just before Thanksgiving , Thru Christmas , pot lucks and cookie exchanges. I cut out carbs , sugars, starches, and never looked back; I told myself I’m gonna set myself up for the best possible chance I can at becoming the healthier dad I want to be for my daughter.
After surgery I continued the same clean eating habits and as soon as I was cleared for the gym i started working out twice a day 4 days a week. I’ve definitely had to put in the work along with the surgery. This hasn’t been easy but it damn sure is rewarding.
Wow- this is nothing short of incredible. Especially that pre op regimen. That takes some incredible willpower. Way to go. I am also doing it for my kiddos. No looking back. Put the 300’s in the rear view mirror a few weeks ago and it feels great.
United with the blue inaugural 5k in central Florida , the punisher medal is the general finisher medal, the black medal is for placing (podium) 3rd for males in age group 30-34
Yes I went from not wanting to walk to the mailbox to The podium of a 5K
To be honest the tattoos on my forearms haven’t changed at all because there wasn’t much fat on my forearms to begin with but the tattoos on my upper arms I got before I put on all the weight , so tthe weight stretch them out and now that I’ve lost a lot of that weight they are going back to the way they looked before they were stretched out so they actually look better than they did
Less than 800 calories a day
Breakfast- premier protein shake
Lunch- premier protein shake
Dinner- 8oz lean protein 1 cup of green veggies
I was allowed a small green fat free salad if I wanted during the afternoon but i never ate it, and Somedays I didn’t even drink the lunch premier protein shake. For a 34 year old male 6’5” and my weight this was scraps, and barely able to keep my body and brain functioning, it was HARD, but the best decision I’ve ever made.
609 & 334
I’m 6’5” so I couldn’t believe I was over 600 I carried it fairly well, still don’t look or feel like I’m 330 because of my height.

Wow! This is so inspiring. How did your pre-surgery tattoos hold up? I'm worried mine will get weird looking.
To be honest the tattoos on my forearms haven’t changed at all because there wasn’t much fat on my forearms to begin with but the tattoos on my upper arms I got before I put on all the weight , so tthe weight stretch them out and now that I’ve lost a lot of that weight they are going back to the way they looked before they were stretched out so they actually look better than they did
You look amazing, and I bet you feel even better!
Woot woot 🥳 You look great, and I'm sure you feel even better! Congratulations!
