Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY



Recommended Posts

The picture on the left was taken on 1/14/07, 10 days before my surgery and one day before my pre-op diet began. The picture on the right was taken on 4/16/07, almost exactly 3 months later. I've only lost 28 lbs, but I think you can still see a difference. :clap2:

You've all been more than generous, posting your photos and giving me so much courage and ambition to do this.

My first set of photos are from 2 days before surgery. The second set is two months later; about 28 pounds. I've not yet had a fill due to a 90 day waiting period, which is scheduled for May 8 - 1st fill! So right now I'm in bandster hell; hungry as anything - no restriction. I'm trying to do my best…but I can feel old habits lingering closely. This is NOT easy to do.

I was going to wait until I made it to 100 pounds lost to post pics, but close enough! LOL!!

The first one was one week after surgery. I was at 309 at the time, down ten pounds post surgery.

The others are from the last two weekends, down 90 pounds. I was at 229 at the time. (At least I'm not afraid of cameras anymore! )

One year banded 4/11/07 Progression photos.

I am currently undergoing intensive weight training and expect to be close to goal weight/ fat% by July, 2007. I tried to reduce the size of these pictures by lowering the pixeling however you may see the pixel (squares).

My husband and I - Progression pictures. The before shot was taken on 4/07/06 and the After shot was taken 4/6/07. My husband is not banded but has lost the weight by working out with me at Gold's. Way to go DH!

      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.
