Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY



Recommended Posts

Telly - thank you for your kind words - I agree lusingjusme is such an awe inspiring inspiration. I read her online journal too, and I read the disclaimer. lol.

The first pic is my night before surgery, the 2nd pic is my 3 mos post op. I was recently release to start lifting weights, so I'm going at it with all my energy & strength. I can't wait to see my 4 month & 5 month pic, I expect to see major changes!

Okay well since it is my 3 month bandiversary I figured I would post some pics. I think the side ones show it the best.

First pics are preop and the second ones are today.

These are my before and after pics. I never took full body shots... But I am sure you can tell how big I was from the top pic alone. I also want to mention that i'm almost 5'10.. And I haven't been able to wear those jean capri's in the bottom pic for YEARS and YEARS.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
