Hi LapBand Friends,

Time to put up my latest pics, this is my 7th month, and have so far lost 51kg (112.4lb). All has been going well, no major problems which is great!

Take care, Josh. :smile2:

I still love looking at all the pictures. What a great idea to take pictures in front of a door :biggrin: Not only do you see the changes in your physical body, but you also see "in the real world" how much less space you take!!!! Sometimes it takes tangible reminders to really show us how well we are doing :lol:

Blue shirt (about 350 ish - taken late 2005)

Yellow shirt (about 300 - taken August 2007 - one month before surgery)

Brown t shirt (taken August 18, 2008 - 167.4 pounds)

It's all about the lighting

I don't -really- look like this, but I surprised myself in the mirror this morning and had to take a pic. Now I'm starting to understand why the celebrities always look like hell in real life -- there's an art to that photographic stuff :)

6 months ago, I sat here at this very computer and pored over each and every one of your before and after pictures, completely desperate for MY turn. You have all been so inspiring and motivating. Thank you so much. And thank you for indulging me a bit while I post my very first before and "during," because I have a long, long way to go.

Ok, so its been a long time since I posted here and I just got a "Happy Birthday" email from LBT and figured I'd come back and say hi and post some new pics. Let me know what you think.

      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.
