Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY



Recommended Posts

Well, I've never posted a before and after pic before but I hit the 50 lb milestone a few days ago and I figured it was time...

My before pic (blue t-shirt in case you can't tell :) ) is me at 285 last year. I couldn't find a more flattering picture - I usually hide when cameras come out but someone caught me unaware. The after pic is me in my bedroom today at 235. I still have 85 lbs to go, but I'm feeling so much better already. I can't wait to get under 200!!

Well here is one before picture of me at my wedding in July 2004. I didn't have my surgery until July of 05 but I probably still weighed the same. The other two pictures are of me last week on a cruise that my husband took me on as a suprise. He is such a good guy!

I couldnt figure out how to make the pics appear in the message so I attached them. I still have about 40 more pounds to go before I am done but this is progress. Everyone looks so good.

Here is my before and during. The before was taken last news years' day, and the other one is from late Sept 26, not that anything has really changed from September to now. Huge difference between January and September.

      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.
