Well, I had been hoping to post 100 pounds less of me by bandiversary but although I'm a little short, I am still very happy with my progress.

Hi Everyone, Everyone has been a such inspiration that I thought I would post my pictures. The picture that I am in the green sweater is me at 120lbs at my one year mark. I am now down 140lbs, but I will take more pictures later.

I am still around 30 lbs. from my goal but I am feeling great.

Love the before and after pics. I will need a Tummy Tuck but have to save for it.

Congratulations to everyone....:wink2::smile2::)

I thought I didn't have any before pictures.... But I found some that were taken on New Years Eve 2007-08. That is the only way I could get in front of a camera, with a few drinks in me.... The other was taken in June 2007. The current pictures have all been taken in the last month (alcohol free :blushing:).

Every one looks sooooooooo amazing, keep up the good work.

After 2 years of looking at this thread, I am still in awe when I look at these pics, and how much of a differance this band makes in one's life. I know what a differance it has made in mine.

This is my favorite thread... no doubt.

      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.
