So young still, not me so much, I think that toning can be natural allot of the time, given you exercise some that you may tone up better in time than you expect right now of this, procedures are long away and you shouldn't need it as a goal if at all maybe even.

I have bounced weights for years and years, allot of times no one noticed any hanging flesh on me, I had a small tummy bulge but arms were easy to exercise away that which your worried over. At 20 you shouldn't need to think that, you should only think of when you can modify a work out to rid your body of all that.

I'm with you in that concern. I have a portrait tattoo of my daughter on my leg and I'm really concerned how its going to look post-surgery. Keep us updated!

It depends on where your weight is proportioned, age (which is on your side) genetics and how long you've been overweight. By your pictures I honestly don't think you'll have much of a problem. Your arms aren't that big. My arms are my worst area, even pre op they sagged (from years of yo-yoing with my weight) now they are already very saggy and I've only lost 55lbs (have lots more to go). But I had a 20 inch forearm at my biggest so it's understandable there is going to be skin issues. I honestly think you'll be fine. And by the way your beautiful :) good luck to you you'll do 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.
