I am very nervous about doing this and may take the pics down at some point. But for now... me before and where I am now. Still have about 25-30lbs to go (at least!). Also, my sister is not the best photographer and you will notice I have no feet.

I haven't posted in this thread yet. I have lost 90lbs. as of today and I am shouting it from the roof tops. I have lost this weight in just under 5 months. I love my Band!

The 2st two pictures are of me at my highest weight of 354lbs. the 3rd is when I hit 60lbs. lost and the last two are of me this morning at 90lbs. down.

I hope that these pictures can bring inspiration to someone that may be struggling with weightloss and looking into the LapBand. Do it! It's the best thing I have done for myself in a long time and if I can do it you can to.

Cindy

I got this picture yesterday from my g'ma, and I couldn't believe it!! I forget how big I was, I didn't keep many pics of myself, so when other people show them to me I'm amazed. And I find it weird, even my teeth look different to me!!

(2-3 years pre-op)

      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.
