Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY



Recommended Posts

I've lost close to 60 pounds and visually don't see much of a difference in these pics. However, mentally, I realize I'm able to wear smaller sizes and can get around a lot better so know I am making slow but sure progress!

Even though I haven't dropped much weight in the past month and a half, I still wanted to share some updated photos with everyone. These "after" pictures were taken a few moments ago.

There's Wonderwoman! I told you that you reminded me of her. Gorgeous Tricia - Long black hair, blue eyes and yes, nice colored/dark tanned skin ...

I look at the old you and I can't make myself see that any of the old you even belonged to you.

I love ya Tricia_K and again thank you for giving me continued support and counter motivation.

      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.
