I'm dying to know if anyone has ever just got lucky and their skin just bounced back?!?!? I know wishful thinking *sigh* does age have anything to do with it or is it just pretty much be fat or skinny and saggy? No fair!

I think if your young your good to go and shouldn't have a problem.

I'm older so my skin doesn't have a lot of collagen. It sure makes me feel older than old :(

I've seen lots and lots of gorgeous after photos of people looking great so its not everyone.

I'm sorry :( I bet you are beautiful! Well I'm only 22 so I'm hoping I get super lucky after surgery. I've been using gobs and gobs of cocoa butter lotion cos I read it's suppose to help. Again wishful thinking :)

*Blushing* Thank you! I don't feel very beautiful. I'm so nervous that I'll fail, I've failed at everything else. But you yourself losing 88 pounds is a huge inspiration to me so thank you!!! I am blessed by your accomplishment.

It's too early now for you to do those exercises but after 6 to 8 weeks post op your physician should clear you for exercise.

Right now walking is the best thing. :)

I've lost 40 so far and feel like a empty bag. So I wear Spanx everyday. My neck is not bad but I'm going to get a neck fat toning wrap next Sunday. Maybe it will work maybe not.

      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.
