Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY



Recommended Posts

I am a long way from AFTER but I had to pop in here and share this mornings NSV!

These are my WELL WORN NON-Stretch Levis size 14!

I've been trying them on every week for the last two months seeing

how far up I can get them....

A little over a month a go was the first pic.... there was NO amount of

sucking and stuffing that I could make the sides meet... so it was my August goal to get into them by labor day.... I'm a couple days late, but

HERE I AM THIS MORNING! a true testament that inches do come off even when the scale is not budging!

Breathing IS over rated! :eek: I LOVE MY BAND

So, I went out to a club last weekend, and couldn't figure out why the bouncer thought I had a fake I.D. --

Then, I decided to take a closer look at it. Although I can't see the changes like everyone else does...

I think I am starting to see his point. Time for a new ID

Scroll across to see the "current" new pic of me side by side with the ID pic.

Funny -- check out the weight I listed on the ID back then! ha yeah right!

Was just a little wake up call I has last week :-)

It has been almost 3 years since my surgery and I just celebrated my 65th birthday...the Lapband is the best present you could ever ask for and the best thing that I have ever done for myself!

I have been without a fill for 9 months now, and trying to maintain.....

Here are my (almost) two months photos... The first is the day of surgery...the second was last night...

I am really starting to see it elsewhere...but still not enough to post pics... I hate my twin tummy...it's barely any different.

But my face looks GREAT!!!

Thanks for looking!

Rainer

The one in the white shirt is before surgery. The one in the blue shirt is about three weeks ago. I am still a little ways from my goal weight, but thought I would post some pics anyway.

I hate looking at this b4 (2005)pic along with all the other b4 pics, but I guess we have to keep them around to see the difference.

      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.
