Wow! You already look great! Your tummy is so flat! How are you feeling? Are you in alotof pain?

Can I ask a few questions? What weight did you start off at? How much did you lose and how long did it take you to lose it? Do you have any more weight to lose? Do you have kids? Sorry for all the questions but I'm approximately your age and am just starting but I know I will definetly need a TT down the road! Thanks!

Hi chica thankyou for your comments. Im two weeks post op now and yes i have to be honest im in a lot of pain still, i feel not o bad as i have plenty of pain killers too keep me going im doing more each day but i get tired very easily. I am in the uk and we work in stones here i was 19st 2 llbs day of my band op now im 13st so i think that 98 pounds ive lost, that took me 18 months on two fills. Im not sure if i can lose any more weight now as i have found a sweet spot now and im very happy with the weight i am now apart from the swelling from the t/t. As for kids yes i have 1 son Ryan hes nearly 7. I hope that answers some of your questions and i wish you luck on your lap band journey !!

I replied to the other thread, but wow, I just have to comment again!

Liz, you look fab. The pain and discomfort you are feeling now will be a distant memory in a another couple of weeks time when you are out shopping for all the new clothes you will need (I needed everything I brought after my TT, lol)

Just remember to take it as easy as you can for the next few weeks!

i had the vetical incision as i had loose skin at the sides this was to pull me and and give me some shape, the op was called a fluer de lys.

elisabeth and argon thankyou 4 your kind comments.

Chickie thankyou also, i hope my results turn out as good as yours have done when the swelling has gone down, i dont look much different in my clothes at this point, but that will be down to the swelling.

You look fabulous! I think you'll be really happy with the fleur de lys incision. It gets you so much smaller through the waist than the bottom cut alone does. Hang in there with the recovery. If you're like me, at about the 6 week mark you'll start to feel like yourself again and at the 8 week mark, you'll have to remind yourself that you ever had a pannus!

      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.
