Thanks, everyone :thumbup: -- especially to John, because YOU were my inspiration! :)

Socalband, I've been lucky with my skin, and I won't be having plastic surgery. Sure, I'm never going to have a flat tummy and wear a bikini, but I never wore one even when I was really skinny in high school and college, so why start now? lol Plus, it would have to be self-pay, and I just can't afford it. One of the things I do regularly is slather myself with lots of lotion, with the idea that very moisturized skin will bounce back easier than dry skin. I even use firming lotion on my upper arms, my stomach, and neck. Not sure if any of that really helps, but I figure it can't hurt! :scared2: I should add that I don't have much of a panniculus compared to others because I am very pear-shaped, not apple-shaped. That makes a difference.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
