Everyone is different. I know someone who had the bypass started @279lbs and now at 170 and she looks AMAZING! She is bikini ready and as had her surg 5yrs ago..oh did I mention she only walked daily and she was 50yrs old time of surg..her advise to me keep the Protein and Water up! Pilates always worked for me it tones the body real nice. Search web for skin toning and firming soaps cebraonline.com Name of soap VEGAN SHEA BUTTER SOAP WITH MIXED GARDEN HERBS

theres a huge difference between loose skin and flab. loose skin is when u can grip the skin & pull it and it stay very wrinkled when u let go & slowly goes back into place. flab is loose fat that hangs. i have flab on my stomach, arms & inner thighs. i have extra skin on my boobs.

im less than 8months post op & im over 100lbs down. im turning 24 in a few days so age plays a huge difference. also, i read someone say that at 2yrs post op, their skin tightened up a lot. your skin is elastic & needs time to shrivel up nicely.

      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.
