I'm 23 and at 2 Weeks out I've lost 17lbs (pre-op 247). I don't know if it has to do with my age but I feel awesome! No pain since day 2, but I think my weight loss is too early to notice any loose skin. I'm trying to work out now while its still early and hopefully it won't be an issue... I'm hopeful but I think loose skin is inevitable. But id rather have some flabby skin than a big ol gut ;)

I'm 24...I weigh 247 and I'm 5' in height. My surgery is this coming Wednesday and I have been thinking about the "skin" issue once I start losing the weight. I hope I won't have a huge problem with that.

I'm 26, and have lost 34 so far, but I had about 45-50 lbs to lose,so I'd say I'm doing well. My skin feels saggy, but I think that's from YEARS of yoyo dieting. Also, I am not diligent with Water and excercise.

I'm 31 I've lost 96 lbs from 230 to 134 my skin popped right back n place the only problem area is my inner thighs and its only visible up close smf mo clothes on. My arms look good, and my stomache is as flat as a pancake. Only if I could lose these damn stretch marks looks like a road map.

I'm 22 and weigh 315. I go for a consultation tomorrow and am hoping to schedule a surgery in June or July. For being big, I've got pretty tight skin, so I'm hoping that everything will shrink post-op and that I won't have the flab everywhere. But I'd much rather deal with flab in a size 6 and not a 24.

So I'm 21 and 240 pounds. And I should have my surgery at the end of this month. I wanted to have it early but between school an my bf I had to make it late in the month and not during spring break. But im nervous and excited I havent been small since my sophomore year in highschool..so six years. But I'm excited and everyone's pretty supportive. My moms had lap band before and it cured her diabetes and high blood pressure and such and so they want to nip the problems I may get get in the butt before they come. Anyways I'm always looking for people to chat with for support and making new friends and talk about the experience all together so please feel free to message me and stuff!

      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.
