Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY



Recommended Posts

I just celebrated my 3 month bandiversary 2 days ago. These pictures were taken 8 days ago. I have to explain the before pics. This was at our outdoor school last year so the reason my tongue is sticking out is because we were singing funny camp songs. This was not even at my highest. I think I gained an additional 10 pounds after these pictures were taken, but you get the picture! The other pics were taken a week ago. That is the same blue san francisco shirt in both pics. I had to take another after pic in a better shirt, cause the t-shirt is now way too big and has been demoted to a weekend only shirt!whoo.gif<!-- google_ad_section_end --><!-- / message --><!-- attachments -->

My 6-month bandiversary is in two days so I thought I would post my 6-month progress pics. I plan on getting a new pair of jeans (hopefully in a size 14!!) on my bandiversary and I'll take pics of me in regular clothes and post them then....I am just so excited to see the difference I couldn't wait to post these. I LOVE my band!

I posted on another thread...but thought I'd add my pics to this one too. The before pic was in June...a month before my surgery. The after pics are 16 weeks post surgery and 100.8 pounds later.

This thread is such motivation for me. I have not checked in for a while, but you are all doing so great! I am stuck right now, but more than 1/2 way there. I thought I would post my 6 month pics. The first one is the week before surgery, the 2nd is July and the last is 10/30.

Halfway there! I have slowed down a lot in the last few weeks, mostly due to my own poor choices. But I am back on track and ready to make it the next 40!

First pics are 5 days before surgery, after losing 10 lbs pre surgery, and the other two are pin up girl pictures from Halloween.

I haven't posted any pics here for a long time, so thought I'd do an update. I had surgery 9-5-06, and lost 108 to goal w/in 9 mo. I'm now down a few more pounds, and have been holding pretty steady for the past five months.

Before, about 275 lbs, size 26:

After, about 160 lbs., size 8-10:

Oh and btw excuse the open mouth in the second pic....my husband was too impatient to wait for me to stop talking before he took the pics.

      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.
