Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY



Recommended Posts

The only picture I had for a "before" shot was the one I put on here, in the pink blouse. I was about 176 in that shot and that was in August 2006.

This picture is me ( I am the one on the left) a Christmas at 190. What a difference 14 pounds does because I felt so much bigger!

sorry i dont really post too much here. i do keep up with everyone tho. i thought i would post new pics of me and hubby. to date hubby has lost 155lbs and i have lost 91lbs. i am 7lbs from goal and its really hard to believe. having been banded 3/06 i never thought i would see my goal, but its just around the corner. hubby has about 70 more lbs to go. i actually enjoy going out and buying clothes now. everyone here has been such an inspiration and the bond here is genuine.

I'm going to the gym now and starting to add muscle, so the weight isn't moving much now as I'm replacing fat but my sizes are going down so I know its working. Now if I could just get rid of the double-chin.

The first picture was taken Christmas 2005 and the second one today. I am down 99lbs (I know my ticker says 102 but Chistmas came and...) and am still working on the rest. I want to get below 200lbs this year if I can and then I will see how I look and feel and take the rest from there.

"Before" was taken the day of surgery.

"After" was taken two months ago.

This band is the greatest tool ever invented. It has changed my life in so many ways. I just always remember it is not a CURE it is a TOOL.

Huggs, Shirley

      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.
