The white shirt is from last November the grey shirt is from last night. I am half way to my goal. It is pretty amazing to me to see how well this is actually working. Take care.

Just got back from a cruise. Instead of avoiding all pictures, we were thrilled to have ours taken. I was banded 4/10/07 and DH was banded 5/22/07. Between the two of us we've lost over 100#. Life with the band is GOOD!!

The Disney pic was taken summer of 2006. The formal one was on the ship last week.

Ok... Here I am just about 3 1/2 months post op. In the picture of me sitting down on the coffee table, I was just at 400 pounds and that was of course, Halloween '07. In the standing picture (can anybody guess what I am carrying? You get 100 bonus points if you know!!!) That would have been about this time last year '07. I would have been about 385 or so... Then there is the black shirt picture. We had some family photos taken yesterday afternoon and we all got "dolled up" to take the portraits. I felt very... ehem... GQ!!! It was a good day! Yesterday evening while DW was putting the children down to sleep, I went to the store and got some snacky foods. Vegetable crackers, summer sausage, Fancy Shmancy cheese, grapes, and a bottle of Chardonnay... When I was there, I felt like some kind of preppy guy all fancied up and buying cheese, grapes and wine! LOL

Enough rambling! Here are some photos.

      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.
