This was one of the only recent body shots I can find. This is me on vacation in Canada in September. If you haven't figured it out, I'm the big one with the Florida shirt on lol.

Hello All,

I was banded on December 4th. The top picture was taken on Thanksgiving, I had already lost 20 lbs. from my heaviest weight of 338. That is my dad and my brother with me.

The second picture was taken in May of 2006. This is my oldest son Brett.

The bottom picture was taken at my cousin's wedding in February 2006.

I can't wait to be able to post some after pictures!

Good luck to everyone!

Thanks to all those who went before me :clap2:

<p>

and now I have to learn how to make pictures SMALLER
</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Photobucket is a great site for this and it is free.</p> <p> </p> <p>After you create an account and upload your photos you'll choose the EDIT button atop your photos thumbnail. There will be several choices for you to copy the URL and then you can paste it into your post or signature.</p> <p>There are better intructions on the site.</p> <p>Hope this helps.</p> <p>susan<img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/happy.gif" border="0" alt="" title="" smilieid="60" class="inlineimg" /></p>

Two Weeks Post-Op

I don't have any "true" before pictures. I weighed about 26 pounds more at my heaviest in late September. As of this morning, I'm down 14.5 pounds from my surgery weight.

      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.
