Hello all! It's been a while since I've been on this site and even longer since I've posted pics. So, I thought I'd check in and post a new pic. I had my surgery in April 2008 and the "before" pic was the day I started the pre-op diet. The new pic was two days ago. I've lost about 100 pounds. I really want to lose about 12 more pounds, but they are extremely stubborn. :) I'm a little below the weight my doc thought I'd be able to reach so I'm a happy girl. I love my life. I'm 4 weeks from graduating nursing school, I run at least 25 miles/week, and can shop anywhere I want. It doesn't get any better than this! Good luck to all who are just starting their journey, it's all worth it! And I hope all my bandster friends are doing well! Have a blessed day!

It’s been a while so here is a little update. The first picture is about 6-8 months pre-band (about 285lbs). The second was a few weeks ago on a cruise ship. The third was just a few days ago in my new Triathlon wetsuit. I made it to goal in about 10 months and have been focusing more on fitness than weight since then.

      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.
