Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY



Recommended Posts

I am finally posting some pics. I had my surgery on May 21, 2007. I am down 50 lbs. so far. The first pic is from the night before surgery, the 2nd is July 11, and the 3rd is from August 13. I just had my 2nd fill and I am feeling great! Looking at all these pics are inspirational!

Okay...finally brave enough to post these as they are full body pics and I shy away from the camera when it comes to full body shots. Quality of pics are not great...my husband hasn't quite figured it out, but he tries! :blush: Still have a way to go but I can finally see the change.

Okay here are my 6 month pics. The brick wall one is the day of surgery. The ones in the green shirt are like a week after surgery and the pink shirt is yesterday, 65 pounds down.

Sorry the before pic is so grainy. I do not have very many pics from when I weighed 350. The newest picture was taken yesterday. That's my boy Buddy at the vet's office.

      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.
