Progress Pics!



Recommended Posts

Hey all,

Well I am 8 weeks post-op and everything is going well with Lola (my band!) lol. No vomiting so far but on Sunday I had raisins get stuck in Lola and she gave me SEVERE pain! It soon passed and now I am feeling great again!

I am right into the gym now, going 4 days a week, and aqua aerobics 2 days a week.

Just thought I would share my latest progress pic with you all. I am really happy with my progress, but there is still a long way to go!

Take care, Josh.

Good job.

I have to say, those pics are a hell of an inspiration for me. I am currently a month away from being banded, I weight the same as your starting weight (161kgs) and I am pretty much the same age.

Thanks, bro. Seeing how well someone in basically the exact situation is going has given me a real buzz.

Hey Josh,

there may be a ways to go yet, but GREAT JOB!! You look amazing. You can really see the difference and the amount of workouts you are doing is definitely going to help with those changes for the long term.

Good on you for making the change. You're doing great.

      🥳 Jan 1 2025 - Day 1 of Pre Op, surgery on the 16th! 😬😅

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
