The first picture is at my friend's wedding in August (about 3 weeks before surgery - I was at my high of 313). The second picture was taken a couple days ago - I am now at 265. Almost 50 lbs gone!!

The 3rd & 4th pictures are face comparisons... the 3rd one was taken some time in the summer before surgery and the 4th picture was taken a couple weeks ago.

You are looking soooo good. Keep up the good work.

I would be so lost without my band.

Hi, this is my husband and me on New Years Eve overlooking Sydney Harbour (which is where we live). I hadn't worn this outfit for 5 years (couldn't bear to get rid of it) so I was happy and we had a great night.

7 months and counting. 61 pounds down so far and so happy. It's recently that most people have noticed. I get comments like "you're withering away" "hey slim" etc. I love it! :tongue:

Pre band- May 2008 :biggrin:

Hi. To clarify. I've lost the 70 lbs since I went to my very first appointment the third week of September 08. I go in tomorrow the 5th for my first fill. Was banded on Dec 4th. I feel like a new man already. Getting this tool is the very best thing that I have ever done in my life. Except for getting married to the most wonderful woman in the world 21years ago!!:)

      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.
