Recommended Posts

Hello all! I have attached my before pic from Nov 2007 and and after picture from Nov 2008. I need to get another pic since I have lost 20 more pounds since that picture.

After - 140lbs

This is 1y 2m after being banded & 1m after my tummy-tuck. I really don't know what I did to lose so fast or else I would tell everyone! I feel like I just eat dramatically less. But I still eat the same sort of food as I did before. Minus all fast food. But yeah, I thought I'd share.

I should really have had the picture taken earlier in the day before the make-up goes to pieces!

At any rate, here is me before (279 lbs) and down 70 today - assuming the picture works.

EVERYONE YOU LOOK AMAZING! What a difference the band makes!

Okay I guess its my turn to take the B&A plunge! Here is where I've been and where I am so far.

I'm pretty happy with how the weight is coming off. Still working at getting to goal though. What does a girl have to do to lose this gut!

I hope this helps anybody who is on the fence. Join the band!

BTW: I had to include a pic of me walking in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! It was AWESOME!:mad2:

      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.
