Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY



Recommended Posts

I don't see too much difference, but maybe you will! The first pictures were taken during the summer, in July, a month before surgery and before I started the pre-op diet.

I HATE the side view before!! Thank goodness those days are gone!

The current pics are in the jeans.

Here are also some of my face. I see a big difference, but it's more the LOOK on my face (and in the before I look sickly.)

The before is the one in the tank top (it was August after all) and the after is in the coat.

I'm excited to post the pictures that have a REAL different look, but that will be later!

I am officially one year out as of Sunday! I am down 114 pounds now! I started one year ago weighing 288 and am now 174. I wore size 26/28 pants and a 3X shirt. I now wear 10/12 (mostly 12..lol) and a Medium shirt. I LOVE this band!!

Before pics are in the black shirt (obviously..lol) and current pics are in pink.

I'm almost eight months out and here is an updated picture at 89 pounds lost. Before is 303 and progress shot is 214. I cannot believe the difference in how I feel about everything in these eight months. I'm so blessed!

I lost about 14 pounds from my all time high when the first photo was taken before my surgery. That means I am 91 pounds from my all time high and 77 pounds since surgery.

Still at 201!! Argh, I really wanted to be in Onderland by the end of September but I've increased my workouts and I feel great so i'm not THAT upset, just a little disappointed. Looking at my before pics really make me feel better. I may be a seriously SLOW loser but the proof is in the pics, it's coming off just very slow and I feel like a new person!! :wub:

I know I've already posted this current picture, but I have a better before picture that was taken at my surgeons office 2 weeks before my surgery. I don't even recognize that person anymore.

I had to post one more time. This is a picture of me at my class reunion (I'm in the middle) and the second is a picture of me now (Sept 19, 2008).

I didn't realized how much I had gone down until I looked at this picture. I am really inspired.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
