I was just banded on 3-21-13. I lost 18lbs on my own from Jan- March and have lost 12 lbs since surgery. No weight loss for 2 weeks but my body is changing! Dont mind the funny face on last pic!

GREAT idea to do the interim pictures! The changes are clear, and it's great for motivation. You're definitely shrinking :)

Thanks everyone! I cant wait to see more pics posted! I love looking at everyones pics!

It is so bizarre! When I had lost just the 18, my clothes still fit. With this 12...my body has changed shape so fast and clothes no longer fit! Went from 22 to allllllmost an 18! Can get em on and ALMOST buttoned and zipped!

Wow you are doing great! I wish I would have taken pics like you are doing. I was also banded 3/21/13. I'm down around 10 pounds but I'm struggling to pay attention to my true hunger vs my need to munch. Today is much better that Mon/Tues/Wed. I'm not hungry today and feel a renewed determination to succeed even in this pre-filled phase.

Keep in touch! You inspire me to keep it going strong since we were banded the same day!

Continued success!!!!

You and I are in the same boat! I was banded 3/20 and have gone from a 22 to a tight tight 18! You are doing great! What an excellent idea to take pictures more frequently and put them side by side! Are you taking measurements too?

      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.
