I was hoping someone else would bring this up but no luck! I have implants and I'm worried about the effects of loose skin and implants. If they were onset the muscle I think I wouldn't be so worried but these r over the muscle and so it's worrisome to me! Anyone else have them ?

Same here, but mine were already sagging so I am prepared to have them replaced later if needed. I am down 23 pounds and they look better, I don't know what they will look like at goal (65 pounds) but I think they are to big anyway.

I would ask your surgeon about that. I am thinking it through, and I don't see how you would have *much* of an issue. I would definatly wear a bra always to help keep them in place (like you did when you first had surgery - assuming you did) - for awhile until you can start working out. I would also suggest working out your chest now more pre-surgery to help build new muscle, so you won't go too far backwards. Does that make sense??

      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.
