Here's a before and DURING photo for you all.... not 'cause I'm fishing for compliments, but to provide inspiration for those considering the band. This thread was instrumental in helping me make my decision, for sure!!! Thanks to all of you at LBT (and especially the Violets) for your constant support and inspiration!

My husband and I are banded and are still both works in progress. Steve was banded March 2005 and I had surgery Sept 2006. Steve's BMI started at 40.1 and is down to 30.2. I started at about 205 and am down to 145ish....and finally a size 8!! But the best thing is we're off the couch and back into life....the last pic is a mountain bike race from October 2007. We finished 3rd in the Master's Group...(that's the over 40 old farts) ;-)

I am so excited..Just had my extended Tummy Tuck, butt lift, breast lift and off course augmentation...and here is part of my result. I decided to have the PS done here in Tijuana MX and can I just say I couldn't be happier with my choice...Dr. Luis Suarez and his staff were awesome...I have to write my whole experience down for you....They have been great and the pain has been little to none...The cost is what got me hear in the US I was looking at paying over 30K here I only paid $9,950.....

Dr Suarez site is Plastic Surgery Tijuana, Mexico, Plastic Surgeon Tijuana

Even though the scale has been stuck for 2 months.. my sizes are going down... I am wearing 12's in jeans/cords (albeit stretchy) and two days ago I was able to button and zip my first pair of size 10's!

The pics below are 1 April 1st at 272lbs (funny how we don't realize how sad we look in our B4's) the NOW are size 12 Levis and a size Large shirt.

      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.
