I am 3.5 months post op and -60 pounds off my pre-surgery weight. I still have a long way to go and don't really notice the difference that much. But this is where I am at progress wise....

Time for a before and "so far" picture

The first is me at my heaviest of 277. The second is me right now at 215.5. I am 5'8. Had my surgery Feb 7th, 2008. I had lost 7 lbs before my first pre-op appt but this is the result of my cumulative pre and post op weight loss. Still have about 45 lbs to go.

I've lost 15 lbs this past month due to awesome restriction...It's been a rather frustrating month as I try to figure out what to eat...but the result has been very fun!!!

There was a HUGE shadow...so we had to do a little photoshop work...and I'm tired and didn't want to bother to take out my VERY red face...that's not my normal face color...although my rosascea is rather enflamed right now...uggh!

I love my band!

      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.
