Putting a face to a name



Recommended Posts

It's so exciting to pics of my Double V's! Honestly, some of you girls who say you are only halfway there have my dream bodies! (marathinner and JaxBandster come to mind!) I just want to look nice and curvy in jeans and I'll think I'm a hottie! I've never wanted to be bony (thank GOD, since bony is a physical impossibility in my family!)

You are all so beautiful!

And Ezma, I can tell a huge difference in your waist! I don't have boobs but the rest of our bodies could be twins! (Ponytails and all!) I can't wait until I've lost as much as you and can start to see it for myself!

Hello ALL!!

Wow.. this is so great to put a face to a name. I had to do some digging as I dont allow full body shots neither.. but i found these which are making me cringe.

The picture with the camel... my face.. not sure if it was due to the smell or the thought of my father taking my full body pic and having nobody in front of me to hide me..lol

Anyhow.. these are my befores... I am scared to compare to now in fear i wont see a difference but i will try to get the courage to take some soon.

Hugs to all

Lynn

You are so beautiful! And you are so close to your mini goal. Congrats! And I love your name. But then I might be biased since Lynn is my middle name. :biggrin2:

Thank you Ezma, that is so sweet and kind of you to say. I don't feel I am beautiful.. well.. at least not on the outside:frown: but this is why i got the band.. so my outsides can catch up to my insides (inshallah, God willing):rolleyes2:... as for my mini goal.. i was so gung-ho 2 weeks ago thinking I was there.... I got a little too cocky and then hit yet another plateau )#&_$*&@#(^@% .. I have to admit i was being hard on myself but considering I am dealing with constant hunger because i have yet to have a fill, I decided to go easy on myself and still see the accomplishments I have done instead of the failure to reach my mini goal by my set date.

Again.. thank u for your kindness

Love Lynn:wub:

Lynn! You are stunning! Don't get too hard on yourself since you haven't had your first fill. You'll feel a bigger difference in your band if your fill is pretty substantial! Even if it's not you will do great because you have that CAN DO attitude!! :biggrin:

Lynn! What a beautiful smile you have!

You know, you should take some pics really often. I didn't want to at first either, but as the weight and the months drop by I am seeing a difference every time with every new set. I am glad I chose to do this. It is very motivating to the self. Don't wait too long. I usually take a set about every 10 lbs. although I failed to take some at 249. I know there is a big difference in myself in just that short time and I will never get back there again. It was a moment in time I will forever have missed... don't let that be you!

      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.
