Ok, so at the beginning of all this I weighed in at 430lbs. I did the weight watchers thing for a bit and got down to 360lbs over a period of a year or so. After struggling back and forth for another year, I made the decision to get banded. I was banded on August 6th of this year, at 357lbs. I al proud to say that I have met one of my first goals...I weighed in at 297lbs this week. I have FINALLY broken the 300 pound barrier. I have 57 more pounds to go and I am very excited at the idea of reaching my goal. Just wanted to share...with a bit of hard work and determination we can all get there, that I've learned.

I do have a before pic when I weighed my heaviest, one I took the day after the surgery and I have to get my wife to take a present pic although technically it would be a middle pic because 240lbs is my true goal. I'll see about posting them up...lol.

Awesome!! Yours is gonna look fantastic, I can just imagine.

Sometimes I google before and after pictures when I need some motivation. I've only lost 13 kilos (28 lbs) but when I look at my before pictures I can see that a lot of the fat folds around my tummy are gone.

This makes me smile. You're an inspiration!!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
