The top one is the most recent one taken this past June (I'm the shortest one in the center) and the bottom one was about a month before surgery (Easter of 2004).

Okay I am trying this here. This is me last summer - 4th of July with hubby - John. The other pic is of me and my middle son taken in March of this year. These are pre-band. I haven't gotten my film developed yet with a post surgery pic but promise to do so soon - will post then.

OK, let's see if this works. I can't seem to get the pics to show...only the links but we'll try again.

First one is from 4/2004

and the second is from 6/2005.

I feel like a totally different person!

Well, I finally scanned my before. The after was taken a month ago with a webcam, but the biggest difference between the two I think is my neck... :)

      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.
