Until I saw mine I didn't have any idea that there was a visual different to how I looked.

But on the brave boots, show me what ya got!

Lookin good Ang. I really see your results. I know I follow your blog and stuff and worry about how much you beat yourself up, not that I'm any different by any means. So just know that it shows girl!!

I'll get some pics on here soon. I've been thinking about starting this thread for a while so glad to see that someone else did it.

My next fill is April 1st and I can't wait, I've had 2 fills and still no restriction!:)

Thanks! I really try to not beat myself up, I swear I do. my most recent blog post was a big eye opener to my thought process and has helped me to figure out why I've been so frustrated lately. I still get frustrated thinking that I am not doing it right (I have no restriction and don't measure my food, but I am only consuming 1200'ish calories a day and going to Curves 4x a week). I am looking forward to my 2nd fill Apr 4 hopefully it brings me to some restriction. The hair cut looks kinda crazy (that's a pic after a work out hehe).

Can't wait to see your pics when you post them (and everyone elses!)

I can see a big difference. :0)

Before the band I avoided pictures like the plague. Now I really regret not getting more before pictures that show that level of detail. I am motivated to take some now before I get much further along so that I can share them as well.

Congrats on your shrinking waistlines.

Thanks you all!

Ang, you are looking great too.

I really enjoying seeing pictures of people and their success. It is so inspiring! I need constant reminders that this is doable!

Hehe, thanks. I agree I always go poking through the before and after thread and in separate monthly's threads to see progress pictures. They are such a great reminder and constant inspiration. :crying:

OK, I'm going to try to post pics but I'm an idiot when it comes to this crap...ok here it goes...I don't have "clinical" pics, I actually wish I did like Ang....I just didn't take any, but I have face pics.

I see a difference, I have a neck now (nicely, pointed out to me by my gramma)....so 1st pic is early November right when I started on pre-op diet so maybe -6 from highest and the 2nd is 3/5/08 -47 lbs total

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
