Everyone looks so great you inspired me to put some pics on here. This thread is amazing!

These are my first pics I have put on here. I don't know if I did it right... Moderator can you help? I put them on as attachments. If this does not work I will try again.

I am the one in the middle........The first one is two weeks before surgery on July 25th 2006. The second one is the last week of August 06. The last (and blurry one) was today at my store Nov 19. Pardon my crazy girls! I sure can see it in my face. These are the only pics I have cause I wouldn't take pictures if my friends didn't force me! I have lost a total of 34 lbs. Thanks for being there everyone!

First two pictures are before surgery and the last three pictures are in Europe last week. You can see a big difference in my face. And I sure can get around better these days. Thanks God for Lap-Band!

The first picture is of the family at Christmas a few years ago, but it is pretty representative of me at my largest. The second picture was taken Thanksgiving after 75 lbs lost.

Why do I always have such a stupid smile in pictures...I need to work on that one!

Hello everybody,

My pictures are already on the web elsewhere, so I won't copy them here.

http://www.riverofdata.com/lapband/pictures.htm has a whole bunch of them, from right before, to after, to after tummytuck.

If you want to see tummytuck pictures (a bit icky, as some are right after surgery, but nothing indecent in them), they're at:

http://www.riverofdata.com/lapband/tummytuckpix.htm

I haven't put up the ones from the second tummytuck, but these will show you that having that done isn't trivial, like the band itself is (well, trivial surgically, not in any other way).

Text to go with pictures is at: http://www.mylapband.tk/

cheers

dan

The first pic was taken May 20, 2006, 3 weeks before my lapband surgery. The pic of me in the white shirt was taken November 14, 2006.

      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.
