6 month bandiversary photo



Recommended Posts

It's my 6 month bandiversary so I thought I'd update with pictures. I don't think I look that much different in the pictures, but I feel better and my pre-surgery clothes don't fit! Can't wait to see how I look when I lose all the weight and get some plastic surgery!

Thanks for all or your support - couldn't have done this without you guys to cheer me on and answer all my questions! THANK YOU ALL!!!

Thanks - ya'll are so sweet and make me feel good! Vickie - that top is either a 22/24 or 18/20 - Private message me your address and I'll send it to you! I got it at Lane Bryant and is is super cute. I only wore it twice. It can be like the LBT traveling pants - we'll send it on after we "under"grow it! Seriously I will send it to you if you give me your address. (just went and tried it on and it doesn't fit anymore - rather give it to you then Goodwill!)

You don't see a difference? Are you kidding?? Look at your arms. They are hanging closer to your body. And you chin is more defined. We can't always see things close to us. Like the old can't see the forest for the trees.

You look fabby, girl. Keep it up and be proud of yourself. :clap2:

Of COURSE we can see a difference, especially in your face. Your trunk, midsection and thighs seem smaller. If every 10 lbs makes a big difference in how our clothes fit (for tinier people, 5 lbs makes a difference) then no wonder your pre-op clothes don't fit. HECK, you lost half a Hilton Sister! :clap2:

Happy Band Journeys To All...

      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.
