Just wanted to share my progress!

My surgery was June 4th, 2012. My beginning weight was 276. Today (5/19/13) I am at 197. So almost 80 pounds gone. I have lost 8 pant sizes and 4 shirt sizes! Total awesomeness.

The first picture was taken 2 months before surgery. The second was taken about a month ago. I was 15 pounds heavier than I am now in the second picture, but it's the most recent that I have!

Here are my before and after pictures, it was a long journey but worth it. I started at 210lbs in October 2007, had a Tummy Tuck in February 2008 when I weighed around 180lb and have been maintaining at around 120lbs for the last 3 years. I kept meaning to come on and post some pictures so I thought better late than never! I got such an enormous amount of support from all of the forum members at the time and you certainly helped keep me focused, I still miss my wonderful canadian friend green, hope you are rocking where ever you are eh? x

This is a recent before & after picture of me. The left side was June of 2011, I was around 315lbs. In July 2012 I reached my heaviest weight: I was 25 years old and 323lbs...it was then that I realized I needed to make a change. I was banded on November 6, 2012, and currently weigh 226lbs! I have lost 97s lbs!!

      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.
