I hit 199 today!!!!! I'm so excited! Its the first time the scale has started with a ONE since probably feshman year of highschool! I don't have too many good shots of me, I'll try to take a better one when I get a new camera, these will do for now though. First pic is about a month before surgery, probably about 227, second pic is on 4th of July, probably about 203.

I hit my "first" goal of 180 pounds last week and posted some pictures on another thread, but I am becoming addicted to posting pictures :ihih:, so thought I would post here as well :seeya:. It makes me feel so positive about everything when I come to this thread and see everyone's progress!!!!

Blue Blouse - around 350 pounds

Yellowish Blouse - one month before surgery - around 300 pounds

last two pictures - taken last week at 178.8 pounds!!

Ok, I haven't posted pics before because my progress has been slow, but I can finally see a bit of a difference in my face.

Before at 275lb:

Now at 220lb (orange shirt is my "high visibility construction worker" uniform that I have to wear at work, else you wouldn't catch me dead in that colour!):

My hubby took some pictures of me today. Thought I'd share my favorite one. Before was February 2008 at 303 pounds. Today I'm 225. That's a 78 pound difference. I love my band!

You all look so amazing!! This thread is soooo inspirational. I haven't lost much weight--34 lbs, but I have decided to post some pics anyway. I am not sure if I can see much of a difference...but then again my weight has gone up and down so many times, I am convinced my body image is totally warped!!!

Here are some face pics:

And here are two body pics, although the second isn't the greatest:

Hi everybody:

I'm not afraid to wear stripes anymore! What an amazing year it's been. I had surgery on 7/26/07. The updated pics are from 7/26/08. Missed my goal of -150 by my bandiversary, but I did lose 142 since 4/23/07 (didn't update ticker yet).

Since 4/23/07 I've gone from 324 to 182 pounds, size 26/28 pants and 3x tops, to loose 14 pants and size Medium shirts. I've gone from a very inactive, sedentary lifestyle to a physical and active lifestyle. I feel great!

I love, love, love my band and I feel 20 years younger!:)

Best wishes to all of you. I'll see you at goal - 23 pounds to go!

Sue

      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.
