how is your face looks like after surgery?



Recommended Posts

Here's my before (1 week preop) and after (8 weeks postop, down 45 lbs). I couldn't believe the difference in my face! The girl who does my nails said (in her broken Korean/English) "No lose more face! You not going to have any face left!" :D

That is an amazing difference you look like the sister of the person in the first picture..

I am pre-op, but have already starting speaking to my esthetician about great facials and skin tightening products. I use GlyMed Plus at home and they have amazing products for dark circles and I anticipate my home regimen may need to change post-op. anyway...I would encourage you to visit with a credible esthetician and treat yourself to a great facial!

Our faces show our weight loss first cuz the bones are closer too the surface. Also, my personal theory is that women lose weight from the top of our heads down! LOL!

Bur seriously, you may need to add some Omega 3 fats to your diet. It will help your skin and brain. Good sources, cold Water fish like salmon and sardines, avocados, organic eggs, organic Peanut Butter or other nut butters and nuts in general.

      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.
