Thanks, everyone. It really feels good to hear these kind words. Often I want to eat all of the fun "kids" Snacks in the pantry, but after seeing pictures and hearing wonderful things, I head to the better choices. This is a tough struggle but I'm willing to continue because I feel so much better about myself. Thanks again!

Hi, You look AWESOME!!!! Keep up the great work. My only hope is that I will have similar results when I get banded on March 27, 2008. :thumbdown:

Thanks...you will...if you have made up your mind that you are ready to change your life, then you will do it. I cannot lie...I have had those moments where I don't exercise and I eat things that I certainly shouldn't...we all do it. When that happens, get yourself together, and jump back on-board. Good luck!!!!

Thank you. :) I will keep your recommendations in mind. I think now I am beginning to get nervous, or maybe I am just excited. :)

Hello thirties...I was banded on May 9th, 2007. I am at 10 months post op and doing well. I have struggled in the last month or two with making some bad food choices which I KNOW has impacted my weight loss, but I am absolutely thrilled with what I have lost so far and how I look. I am about 1/2 of the way to where I want to be and I know that this last 1/2 is going to be WAY tougher than the first 1/2 was.

I don't regret getting my band whatsoever & would totally reccommend this surgery to anyone out there who had the right "mind set" to commit to it. Way to go everyone and keep up the good work. To all those who are scheduled for surger...Good Luck and don't do any unnecessary worrying. :w00t: Surgery is, for the most part, a piece of cake. (so to speak) lol

My pics are 1 month before surgery in the first one and the other one is 9 months post op @ 103 lbs. lost. (also with a new and slightly shorter hairstyle)

How exciting!!

You look terrific!

I am new to this site today.

I had the surgery on January 14, 2008.

I feel like I am at a stand still. I have weighed the same since January 27. Did you ever experience that? I am somewhat discouraged!

Hey guys...went to Vegas last week and had "LOTS" of pictures taken. I thought that I would share many different "before" pictures and very up to date pictures. It's quite amazing to me.

      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.
