Before picture of me playing the role of a patient for a website. Ugh! New co-workers didn't believe it was me!!

2nd picture taken last month at Eilean Donan Castle, where the film "Highlander" was filmed. The Isle of Skye is in the background. Beautiful part of Scotland!

I hit my goal a few months ago but I'm still losing, so thought I would share newer pics. :thumbup:

First photo was at 215lbs, second is now at just over 136lbs.

My before and after are in my signature. I got my band in July of 2004, so I am 5 years post-op now. I plan on getting plastic surgery sometime in the fall because I have a LOT of excess skin. I'm definitely a little scared about it, but excited to get it done.

Everyone here looks so great! I said I wouldn't post til I was at goal or really close to it but whatever!

The first 2 pics are pre-surgery at 359 lbs sometime in the spring of 08 and the last 2 are at my current weight of 245 lbs summer of 09. About 75 lbs more to go...

Good morning Everyone!

I made a promise to myself (and several friends on this board) that I would post pictures when I hit my 50% loss mark - I have lost 55 pounds of the 110 that is my goal, so I'm keeping my word!

The 'before' pic is from Summer 2008, before I even investigated the lap band, and the 'after' pics were taken this morning.

Be kind, y'all!:thumbup:

Before...August 2008...I gained another 10 lbs before surgery. Current is about 179. I will start back to weight loss when I return from vacation next week. I can't wait to surprise my family this week. They don't know I had surgery 9 months ago and they don't know I have lost all this weight! Do you think they will recognize me???

      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.
