Hello guys, Its been a while since I've interacted on this forum...So busy with work n weightloss...but I know how frustrating weightloss can be! I've been banded for a year and 2 months and lost 58 pounds...at times I find myself saying "damn onlyyy 58 pounds?!" but then I gotta tell myself, "wow dats 58 pounds gone instead of plus 58 cuz I kno without this band my ass would of just been gaining n gaining lol...So anyways, be patient guys! N just keep working towards your goal! Dont focus on the amount of time that your losing, just look at the numbers and your LOOK! I weigh 230 but people tell me that I dont look like I weight that much..So I just take it as a compliment n keep loosing...I just wanted to share a few pics just to motivate others bc when I see pics, Im also motivated to do well.

You look great! I know what you mean about people saying you don't look like you weigh ___....I hear that a lot, too, as I am tall I can carry more weight and hide it better, I guess. LOL

Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for posting ur great pics and for ur encouraging words. This forum has saved my life. Everyone is so positive and motivated and that's exactly what I need to stay on track. I believe that I can accomplish anything with hard work and planning and that's what I'm going to do so I too can reach my goal weight and inspire others as you all have inspired me. I had LAPBAND surgery on April 14, 2010, so far so good. I'm down 47 lbs since surgery and pushing forward. Congrats to u all for ur success stories. Keep up the great work.:drool:

Hubba hubba!

Congrats!

You look great! It's not about how fast you lose or even how many pounds. It's about how good you feel and how healthy you are.

You've got a great attitude. Keep it up!

      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.
