I first want to say I am soooo thankful I have lost weight....I hope I don't sound like I'm complaining, but OMG my neck looks soooo weird now. It looks like I'm straining :(...I'm glad it's not saggy, but it looks so wrinkly and tight now. Is anyone else going through this??? Is there anything I can do for it??? I pray it doesn't get any worse :(

Do me a favor chickee. . . Go google pics of celebrities that are our age and similar weights and really look at their necks, okay??? I think you will be amazed at what you see.

My neck looks super similar to yours, and it has tightened up some being a lot further out. But, when I turn my head a certain way, or draw my neck back, I look like a sharpei puppy ha ha ha.

See what I mean at my neck ? ? ? But, I go and google Renee Zellweger and Sandra Bullock pics with their necks cocked sideways, or looking back and they have those wrinkles too so it makes me feel better about it. I have a bit of turkey neck as well that just appeared over the last few months. Before it was super tight, or drawn taut, but now I have that little bit of skin right at the middle of my throat. I've already decided for my 40th, a mini facelift will be on tap ! ! !

Thanks guys!

It has been over 20 years since I've been this weight so mixed with age (ugh lol) and just not being use to seeing myself at this weight again it makes sense.

I guess it's made me even more self conscience because my kids are constantly saying MOM STOP MAKING YOUR NECK TIGHTEN UP LIKE THAT, but I just realized THEY have NEVER seen me this weight. I hit 188 back in 2004 but not this weight.

I just have to get use to it too : )

You have a beautiful, long, young looking neck! It looks "strange" to you because you're not used to it, but I'm sure to others it looks great! My neck isn't thin enough to look that pretty (YET), but I have noticed that my rolls are getting smaller :)

Thin women always worry about their necks! You have such a beautiful face, and your so sporty now, thats really the impression you leave, not of a strange neck. I really work my neck in my dance class hoping to get the very look you have! My tendons do show up more now... better than what was there before! Tell those kids to hop on the shut-up train!

sleeve 4 me, you look great! And your skin looks great too :) Nothin wrong with your neck at all.

Have you ever tried a relaxing shoulders & neck massage? Maybe you're holding tension in your neck and that's part of why you feel like your neck muscles are standing out. If you are, and you do try a massage, I bet you'll FEEL much better cuz neck tension is the worst.

      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.
