Month by Month progress till February



Recommended Posts

I am a pretty shy person when it comes to posting pics so I have removed my face. I don't know why it just makes me feel better I guess haha. Maybe I will feel better later on.

Ok. so since being banded I have become engaged to the man of my dreams. We have been together 7 years. My fairytale wedding is coming true! I have an all expense paid wedding to Kauai. We will be married on shipwreck beach in February 09. I purchased this dress that I am calling my wedding dress atm. I am going to see if I can fit into it. I plan on taking pics the first of each month to show progress.

This is actually the first pic for august since it's so close :wink2:

I was banded 4/23 @267 pounds I am 5'3. I am as of today 227.. so 40 pounds down. I would love another 60 but we will see.

Wish me luck!

I know the pics are horrible... as I am not wearing anything to hold me in. I will in the end im sure.

Congrats on your engagement and upcoming wedding, Brandy. I love your idea of posting monthly photos to share with us. Keep up your good work and you will most likely have to take your dress in at the seams by the time of your wedding. Good luck with all of your plans and your future with your man!

      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.
