before pictures



Recommended Posts

I absolutely love this thread! Here's me in April '06 at one of the least heaviest weights I've been. I think I was a mere 275 when this was taken (did I just say "mere"?)

And here I was just this past Thanksgiving Day 2007 at my all-time heaviest of 298. I'm the one in the orange holding the pie:

Man, I feel dumb... this is the "knockout" forum. LOL

I just thought this was "before" pictures for everybody. It would take an act of god for me to get banded in January, so I'm not a January Knockout.. I'm sorry :-(

Okay, here's my before pics. These pics were taken in August of 2007 while on vacation, my weight was the same as it was presurgery. I can post the pics that we took of me on the night before surgery but I have some seriously bad hair and facial expression going on. I should've retook it but oh well.

Don't worry about it. You were originally thinking January and that is all that counts. Maybe you will be losing before surgery still, and you will see a difference from these you posted.

I am actually the oldest of 6 and I am 5'8" tall. But I should find a photo where it looks like we resemble each other. Now, that could be insulting to you, because it might be I look younger or you look older:rolleyes:

      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.
