Wow, awesome photo comparison!! You do look so much younger!!

I have a turkey wattle neck now, but overall I'm not as scared by increased wrinkles/sag as I thought I would be. smile.gif

You look phenomenal ! ! ! I'm super jealous. At 34, I have way more wrinkles than I ever had when fat. I know that my years of smoking has contributed to my lines and wrinkles, and that the damage is done. Thank goodness for botox ! ! !

You not only lost weight, you lost 15 years ! ! !

Your pictures made my day! I'm almost 36 and having VSG after the first of the year. I've been nervous that I'd look more wrinkly but you so do not! You look awesome and way younger too! Great job!

Well I am 55 and post menopausal and I have been having some issues with wrinkles, especially in the neck area. I had a conversation with my brother the other day and he said he knows a number of people who had the surgery and when they first lost the weight, they looked somewhat drawn, but that after a while things seem to redistribute and their faces fill in again.

That was encouraging!

That would be nice! I am 58 and have WAY more wrinkles than before... but thats the up side of being fat! I am using all kinds of peals and creams... as long as it doesn't fall off, I guess I can live with it!

After studying before and after face pictures of so many other people' date=' I secretly wondered, if after losing the weight if I would feel like my nose was too big or my eyes would be enormormous, or suddenly I would have massive wrinkles where fat once was. So I was pleasantly surprised with my little comparison. More evidence that when you gain weight it affects every part of your body!! Amazing isn't it?

      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.
