Putting a face to a name



Recommended Posts

Well' date=' like most "overweight" people, I *hate* pictures of me. This picture is of me and my loving hubby, on his birthday. This is about a year before my lap-band surgery, not my heaviest but very close. I hate the double chin! Hubby says my face looks even better right now, after 24 pounds of weight loss. I can't wait to lose more!

Thanks sis! :) (ack, I'm still shy about it, LOL.) I go for my first fill tomorrow (March 26th), I'm nervous but also excited. Time to make this lap-band work!

Did you go to your seminar yet? Let me know how it went!

*hugs*

Ooh, so many beautiful people! I love this thread! It's a good thing I don't know how to post pictures or I'd be posting one right now!

Such great pics!

My first challenge will be to find a picture - I was/am very talented in the 'avoid the camera' lifeskill.

My second challenge will be to post it; previous experiences in posting pics had them so large you could count the freckles!

I shall try.

Awww' date=' thanks Queen of Hearts! Your picture is gorgeous too! Actually, I think all of us here are some fabulous looking people! I love the sharing of pictures.

Yeah, you're right Queen of Hearts! I'm hoping one day I'll actually like a picture of me, and not hide when the cameras come out - both of my hubby's sisters are photographers, not professional, but they've taken classes and ALWAYS have a fancy camera with them. Makes me shiver! :tt1: lol. One day, hopefully, I won't though. We'll all get there! This is just the beginning!

*hugs*[/quote']

:thumbup:I hear ya Rhapsody!! We will get there! We will not be intimidated by those lenses we've tried to avoid!:tt2: My kids are always trying to get pictures (like the one I have posted) and I am usually trying to hide behind someone or something so as not to expose my WHOLE self:rolleyes2:! LOL!! But before you know it, you will be happy to pose for your husbands sisters!!;)

Someone mentioned it earlier in this post, February bandsters are beautiful people. Everyone looks great. I'll see if I can dig up a picture. Like most of you have said, I too try to avoid having my picture taken.

:rolleyes2:You're very welcome and I'm glad to be able to help put another smile on your beautiful face! I am so impressed with your weight loss and you should be proud! I had my surgery before you and as of yesterday I've only gone down 31 pounds! Got another fill yesterday because I told my doc I'm cheating and he just laughed and said he'd put a little more in me so he gave me .6cc then shook my hand and said I was doing great! So both of us had a kudo for the day!:tt1: Thank you for your kind words and keep up the good work!:biggrin2:

We are pretty much not too far off. I've lost 32 pounds post surgery. The majority of the weight I've lost was pre-surgery. I guess that's not so bad either, but I just wanted you to know I think you're doing great yourself. :biggrin:

Believe me, I'm not perfect. I do the best I can, but sometimes those little snackies call me! Especially those little weekend snackies and they are the ones that have noooo trouble going right down!! :cry_smile: And of course, it's the weekend...

Stay sweet!

      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.
