Today is my 1 year bandiversary. I couldn't be happier with my decision to have the lapband! I have lost 86 lbs so far...Here are some pics...

In the side pics, the first pic I had probably already lost 45ish pounds. But the first shot and the head shot are heaviest to current.

Here are two pictures showing what i looked like at the starting of my Lap Band Journey. The first is from Sept. 2008, when i started going to my Doctor. I was at 469 lbs. I had surgery in December of 2008 and I was 410 lbs at that point. The 2nd picture is from today (June 24th, 2009) at 325 lbs. :bored:

I am so inspired by all of your pictures! Everyone looks amazing. Today is 3 months and 5 days out. I feel wonderful and people are finally starting to notice. I went from a 32 to a 20! This is the best thing I have ever done for myself I only wish I had the guts to do it 10 years ago! I am 33 years old...I can't even imagine what my life would have been like if I had this done earlier. Most likely even more of a blast just a bit less embarrassing and in better clothes.

Ya'll are all my sheroes/heroes. As soon as I get into one of my "pitty parties" and "can't-do conventions", i come to this thread. I still have a ways to go, but i can't believe how far I have come.

The first pic is me at about 322lb and the second pic is me at about 230lbs. Again, I still have quite a ways to go, but I am slowly geting there.

Thanks again, everyone.

Today is my one year bandiversary, so I wanted to post some pics. My weight loss isn't nearly as impressive as many of you, but I'm still pretty pleased.

      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.
