Photos that are meant to help...

Jun 22, 2010

So I just uploaded more before pictures and progress up to 11 weeks.  I added another album that's only guys considering the surgery or or in the process of losing weight may like to see.  There are all these great photos showing before and after where everyone is obviously doing well and losing lots of weight.  But I always wonder, "What does that guys skin look like under there?", "Is he able to start getting any muscle tone?", "How are the scars looking as time goes by?", and "Does he have a big skin flap that slaps him in the face when he runs?".

So I wanted to put photos out that didn't hide that and showed what is really happening to my body.  A few others have done that and I really appreciated it.  I know it ain't pretty, but hopefully it can help some people, like others helped me.  

Just as a reference I am now working out 5 days a week with about 20 minutes of cardio and weight lifting.  I will increase intensity as I go along, but next week I have to have another surgery (unrelated to WLS) that will keep me from working out for at least two weeks.  But then I'll start pushing again.

If looking at my big ol gut is nasty for you then I'm sorry, just don't go in that album again cause it will just be me in black spandex shorts from start to wherever I end up.  The progress folder will have pics where I am fully clothed and hiding any unsightly skin,etc., showing my continual progress without seeing too much.
