My brother in-law is a tattoo artist. So I have let him experiment on me. I have 3 tattoos, and I am scared that once I get the surgery, they will soon be deformed. :( I have a heart with wings with my dad's intials in the heart on my right ankle. I have the Good Luck Care Bear (the one with a clover on it's tummy) on my upper back, in between my shoulder blades, and on my right shoulder blade I have the Japanese meaning for sister and relationship. Anyone else have this?

I don't know about the one on your tummy or shoulder blades, but the one on you ankle should be fine. We don't lose a ton of weight right there!!smile.gif

They should all be fine. If you were talking about anything on breast tissue or your belly, well.... that's a different story. LOL

I was curious about that too. Will the ones are your arms and shoulders deform also?

My Husband is a tattooer and I was really considered about all of my tattoos. He told me that they will be fine but I only have them on my arms,caves and foot.

I have two - both on my back. A fairly big one between my shoulder blades and the proverbial tramp stamp. I have lost well over a hundred pounds and they are both unchanged. This tramp is still stamped :P

I love it!! "This tramp is still stamped" made me LOL. I guess after my surgery, this tramp will still be stamped.

I got my "tramp stamp" back when I was skinny, so if anything, it is more disformed now than it will be when I lose weight.

      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.
