Congrats! I too have the same struggle. I gained 75#, and stayed "comfortably thick" for quite a while after I had my son. I have been losing for the past year and a 1/2, and I have the same issue. Mine is predominantly on my belly. I have done lots of reading, and have a few points I hope will help.

Drink Lots of Water to keep you hydrated from the inside.

Keep healthy- Eating, workouts, Low salt, adequate Protein, no smoking

Keep your skin moisturized from the outside- I use St. Ives Skin Firming Lotion. It helps your skin feel hydrated, without a heavy, greasy feel. I can't prove it meets up to the claims of "Skin Firming", but I noticed a difference in the quality of my skin. And it's not expensive at all! I use it about 3 minutes after I towel dry from a shower. I love it!

Try Fish Oil supplements. I just started taking them not too long ago, so I can't make a claim either way, but it is supposed to help for various reasons.

Some people have more elastisity in their skin, and some have less. It will take time to go back, and it may never go back to perfect. But don't focus on the minor imperfections that you see. Think about the great accomplishments you made! You look great!

      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.
