Before and after pics....



Recommended Posts

I am so technically illiterate, I can't get the pics on this post the right way up. But if you visit my gallery on my profile, have put up some "before" pics. Never seen before outwith my family.

I am actually quite shocked to see myself... had forgotten just how big I was. But I am not there any more :-))))) Life is soooooo good... if you are struggling, I hope it shows that everything and anything is possible...

Thank you all for the kind words!

jeanZ_RN, I am a little dot of 5'2" and pre sleeve was 223lbs, 203 on the day of surgery and am now 138. Cosmetics will shave off another 5-7lbs and then I will be done. Got to goal of 140lbs after 8 months and reset it down to 135lbs. But not aiming to lose any more weight, surgeon was very happy when he saw me for my one year check :-)

We could be sisters separated at birth our stats are so similar - sadly I would have to be the older sister :-)

Thanks, my hair had been my pride and joy but lost about half its volume during the shedding period. Started growing back at about six months (it just started falling out more slowly, lol) and the pic was taken at about 10 months.

Good luck, you are almost there!

      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.
