Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY



Recommended Posts

Every one looks so good! I am so inspired by everyone on this board. I look at this thread everyday to keep my spirits up and to know I can lose my last 40 lbs.

Since I haven't taken body shots in awhile, I thought I would post my progress pics. The first pic was taken 2 years ago at my highest weight ever of 257lbs. I was 239lbs at surgery, which is the inset pic of just the head shot. I am at 167lbs currently, down 90lbs from my highest ever, and down 72lbs since surgery in May.

Thanks for the help Suzzzie. I hope this works. The pictures in the blue shorts were taken a few days after I started the pre-op diet, towards the end of Sept 07, 290lbs. And the others were taken Jan 27, 2008 (last night) Haven’t been to the Dr. for a few weeks so I am not 100% on my current weight but the home scale says 247lbs for a 43lbs loss.

Here are my 2 month progress photos. This is the first I have posted... obviously, since I have only been banded two months today. I can see some difference, but not too drastic. I have lost 50 pounds from my max of 400.

Still have a LONG way to go to be 210... but its getting closer each day!

Before is on top and current is on bottom. Same shorts.

I love looking through old pictures and being totally shocked at how big I REALLY was.

First pic is from 7/06 (appx 250). Second pic is from 12/08 (appx 160). Since I don't have the same clothes, I figured I'd at least use the same girl!!!

Currently I'm 151...6 lbs from goal.

      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.
