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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
