6 Month Progress Pics



Recommended Posts

Mac,

Good for you. What an empowering experience. I hope you have great luck finding a new surgeon--one who will listen to you and help to calm your fears. I'm curious. How did the surgeon react when you told him that?

I honestly didn't stick around long enough to look - as soon as I said my peace, I walked out of the exam room, through his lobby and out the door.

All of you who have pictures to post - GREAT job. The only before picture I have is the one in my file at the nutritionist office (and it shall remain hidden). No progress pictures either - I still hate the camera, almost as much as I hate the scale. Neither relationship is better yet - I am sure that will come in time.

Mac - I have really picked up my losses by ensuring that I am getting at least 0.37 grams of Protein times my weight. I had to add a snack to get it, but have lost 3 pounds in each of the last two weeks. I was not sure that I believed in the protein amounts until I have followed it closely these last two weeks.

Continue success to all the VVs!!

Happy long Labor Day weekend.

Okay guys, it's the last day of the month. I need more progress pictures. You can do it! Hell, this is the first and only place I've ever posted a picture of me on the web. I still don't like the way I look but I do like being able to see how much I've changed. Come on, FEED ME! ..... Pictures that is.

Congratulations to all of you who are looking and feeling successful at this band thing! I'm so happy for you! (And yes, it is possible to be jealous and happy at the same time.) =)

Unfortunately, I can't post six-month progress pics because there has been no progress. Sassafrassin Q@)#&^#)(*&@#)*(&@#)(*@

I wish I could fire my asshat of a surgeon but unfortunately, he's the only one my insurance will cover. I really admire you for doing what you did Mac! I am going to act really, really ugly if he doesn't give me a fill when I go back on Sept. 11th. I was hoping this thread was chock-full of success stories because I wanted to print it and take it to him and say, "SEE??? You ultra-conservative on fills IDIOT. People with normal surgeons who give them fills are LOSING WEIGHT!!!!"

Grrrrrrrrr.

So let's see some more progress pictures!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!

      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.
