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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
