Hi LapBand Friends,

Time to put up my latest pics, this is my 7th month, and have so far lost 51kg (112.4lb). All has been going well, no major problems which is great!

Take care, Josh. :smile2:

I still love looking at all the pictures. What a great idea to take pictures in front of a door :biggrin: Not only do you see the changes in your physical body, but you also see "in the real world" how much less space you take!!!! Sometimes it takes tangible reminders to really show us how well we are doing :lol:

Blue shirt (about 350 ish - taken late 2005)

Yellow shirt (about 300 - taken August 2007 - one month before surgery)

Brown t shirt (taken August 18, 2008 - 167.4 pounds)

It's all about the lighting

I don't -really- look like this, but I surprised myself in the mirror this morning and had to take a pic. Now I'm starting to understand why the celebrities always look like hell in real life -- there's an art to that photographic stuff :)

6 months ago, I sat here at this very computer and pored over each and every one of your before and after pictures, completely desperate for MY turn. You have all been so inspiring and motivating. Thank you so much. And thank you for indulging me a bit while I post my very first before and "during," because I have a long, long way to go.

Ok, so its been a long time since I posted here and I just got a "Happy Birthday" email from LBT and figured I'd come back and say hi and post some new pics. Let me know what you think.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
