How the band changed my life! (pictures)



Recommended Posts

What a difference a year has made!! This is our family last year at Easter. I was always HIDING behind everyone when it was time for pictures. (Can you tell how I conveniently positioned myself?) It has been so nice to no longer have to worry about my double chin, if my behind is showing, constantly pulling at my shirt or just feeling so uncomfortable during picture time!! I can't tell you how much this band has changed my life!!

What a great photo of you and your family. I COMPLETELY understand the tugging shirt thing. But I have it now because I'm in a smaller size slacks, they've changed styles on me and these low-rider things are strange. I constantly feel like my underwear are showing. :nervous

You do look wonderful Diane. What a great photo!

I wish like heck someone besides me in this family could take pictures; we have NO photos of my entire family together. I'm the only one who knows how to use the camera, anyway.

Were you wearing heels in this year's pic? You look taller by your hubby, who by the way is very handsome! And look how much your children have grown in one year! *sighs* I hate time. It takes away so much, and yet everyday I want it to hurry up and pass so I can be at goal.

Anyway, you look wonderful my friend. I'm truly happy for you and your family!

Hey Photonut! Yes, I was wearing heals in the recent picture. HA!! Very funny you noticed. I think I have a full body picture of me with the heels on - I'll see if I can pull it up.

I agree about time moving so fast. I feel like I just had that little baby girl in my stomach & there she is as big as can be. *sigh* However, time is good. It took TIME for me to lose this weight & be a better Mom & I wouldn't change a thing.

Okay, found the picture - here is it!!! I'm definately wearing heels. :confused:

Wow, It's amazing how quickly kids grow. They're growing while Mom is shrinking. :confused:

Diane ~ You have a beautiful family and you are so blessed!! Not to mention you look beautiful yourself!! :clap2: We always take a family pic at Easter, but this year we didn't have anyone to take one of us together. Every year I feel like a giant Easter egg in my pastel colors. I can't wait till next year to show the thinner me and I hope I have such a wonderful, happy smile as you!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!

Here's me trying to hide....oh well....I tried. :phanvan

      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.
