I was in need of some encouragement this morning.



Recommended Posts

I was in need of some encouragement this morning so I found a pic I had taken several years ago that I actually thought looked. Then I had my wife take a pic this A.M. at about the same angle. Man did I get the encouragement I was looking for! What I journey it has been so far. I am half way there! Take a look at what I saw this morning!

The first pic is the one I thought looked good, followed by this mornings picture.

I have to laugh at the old me. Or maybe its the newish me that makes me giddy. Not sure but what the heck I am loving it!:cursing::blushing::smile::couch2::smile::smile2:

You look great!! You have a lot of reasons to be giddy; look how far you've come. You can definitely tell that you've dropped weight. Pictures are always a great way to really see the improvement that you've made. Congrats and keep on pushing!

Congratulations. I should do something like this as its been 2.5 yrs now for me and -140 lbs and with another 60 lbs to go, I tend to pick at my flaws and lack of fast progress now as compared to remembering the original me picture!

The first one was a great pic, but # 2 should show you exactly how much you have accomplished! People like you encourage me so much. That you so much for sharing your progress with your Lap Band family

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
