Before and After Pics

Nice' date=' I can't find any topics on tattoos and wls, but I've been asked at numerous tattoo competitions to enter and I don't due to my weight. Entering is on my weight loss bucket list. I just don't want them to warp. Once I lose my remaining weight, I will literally have 1/3th of my body covered as opposed to 1/4th now! I have waited to do my ribs and upper abdomen until I lose weight, as well as my full back piece (besides upper back piece) and the last portion of my sleeves which is upper arms that will tie into my upper back piece. I have my husband making patterns now for when the time is ready![/quote']

That is awesome!!! I'm not "covered" only have random bits and pieces... But I'm guessing if your skin sags in certain spots, your tattoos would morph as well. Idk... Interesting to find out though...

      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.
