6 Month Progress Pics

[Mac the Knife 1]

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!!!!!!

I will post my pics as soon as I find my dang camara!

Gipson. My surgeon sucks too.

I've lost 45 lbs. But it's been really hard.

I have missed you by the way.

Everyone looks freaking awesome. Hugs you guys.
