Here ya go - my 40 year old carcass after almost 2 years of banding. I wore this bikini last week on the beach in Byron Bay, it was perhaps the sweetest moment since I was banded!

I usually just lurk in here since I am still a bit away from goal but holy cow Jacqui you look absolutly amazing. I would not guess in a million years that you used to be overweight. You look so great!

I agree with Chickir, I would never believe you were overweight OR 40 for that matter. I thought you were my age or younger! Congrats girl you look gorgeous!

Jachut,

Whistling would be inappropriate for me as I am a woman but it sure is a hell of a feeling isn't it? You look amazing and your pictures should be in the new comers area so they can see what they will be looking forward to. You go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Ladies~

I'm 10 days postop and after reading and seeing these posts I am truly ENCOURAGED!!!! Thanks so much for sharing your weight loss.

Jachut~ Wow! You look GREAT! If thats what 40 looks like I will welcome it with open arms in 5 years LOL!

I have one question though...with all the weightloss, did anyone have to get plastic surgery? I've only lost 28lbs since Sept 5 but have noticed alot of loose skin. This scares the HELL outta me!!! Am I not getting enough Protein or should I start exercising?

See that part I forgot about. You do look fantastic Jacqui. I am a good 13 years away from where you are now, and if I look even half as good as you do, I will be a happy camper.

Again, congratulations.

      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.
