I'm more unhappy with my body now than I was when I was heavier. I'm 20 years old saving for a boob job because they look like an old woman's breasts. I'm really devestated. At 20 I should be feeling sexy in the bedroom and now I won't even take my bra off in front of anyone including my fiancé. Boob jobs look so fake and you can tell apart the women with real ones and fake ones but I don't have any other option. I'm just really upset and needed to know that I'm not the only one, I hope I'm not.

Sort of damned if you damned if you dont.. I am a lot older but I am going to have the same body issues. All I can say is you can fix the boob issues and live a long, happy, healthy life. ALl boob jobs do not look fake. Find a good Dr and dont go overly big. the only other thing I can say, is I wish I was 20 again and getting this all done.. I am upset at myself because I waited so long(55). My main reason for doing this is health, longevity, and too look better in clothes.. Good Luck with it all.

Everyone's body is different. I am also in my twenties and I have a few areas where I wish it was a little tighter, but it was my fault I got to the point that I did. I feel good because I feel healthy, yes I still wont show off certain areas because I am self conscious of them but I would rather be thinner and healthy than fat with tight skin. Just remember why you got the surgery. Do some toning exercises I have accepted that I will have to do some plastic surgery myself. Just look at your success and think positive! I am here if you need me!

It is very difficult losing all the weight, but having saggy skin. I have had 2 children, breastfed, had a c-section, and lost over 120lbs, so underneath my clothes, it is a pretty sorry state. Sometimes I still feel fat because of the hanging skin, but I am getting better at accepting my body. I am saving to have plastics done, but it is going to be another year or 2 before I can get it done. I remember on one forum someone saying they looked like a 80 year old naked, but I 25 year old with clothes on. That is how I feel now, and I might not feel great naked, but I spend most of my time in clothes and feel good in them.

Maybe a couple of suggestions to try and help. Go out and buy yourself a really good fitting bra and some nice clothes, something you feel amazing in. I really believe that good fitting clothes can make you feel great! Also, look at pictures of yourself and clothes from before you lost any weight and try to think if you were really more happy then or not. Finally, I am guessing that it really does not bother your fiance at all. Oh, and if you get a good boob job, a lot of times you can barely tell the difference. Boob jobs have come a long way!

I know how you feel. I can finally wear a Medium in a shirt. But my arms are so big most shirts are uncomfortable. My arms are so gross! I work out at least 3 days a week, and my arms are just a mess.

Stay strong and know at least you are healthier having lost all that weight.!!

      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.
