Looking older after weight loss



Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone has experienced this. I am concerned that the more volume I lose in my face, the older I will look. Lord knows I do not want THAT to happen! I think a little Restylane or Juviderm may be in order soon ;)

I feel like I am old now..ESP..in the face...That is where I lost a lot of weight at first....None of my supporters think I look bad but when I look in the mirror I see my mother who is 80 years old.....

I guess it is one of the things I have to deal with!

I have the same fear as you and will fight it all the way!! When I finish losing all the weight I will look into some fillers if need be. Good luck to you!! :)

Im14Fun, it is a thought but think your genes play a part in the elasticity of your skin as does age. I am 52 next week and was discussing my goal weight with my nut - he said that as you get closer to your target, the older you are, what happens to your face and neck does come into play... So although I know what weight I would like to be, he said I might want to stop two or three pounds before then if I felt I was losing my face.

I am happy with how I look, no loose skin or droopy bits. But as ProudGrammy says, I would rather be a bit wrinkly than fat! Can deal with that....

Anyhoo, you look too young to worry about looking old :-)))))

I'm convinced by the time this is all over, I will likely be bald and wrinkly, but hopefully i'll also be skinny! :)

I have lines on my face that I did not have before I lost all my weight. But I would rather look older then be over 100 pounds over weight.

Well I've always looked like a kid. It's genetic. My mom and my sisters look younger than their years.

I get carded all the time. I'm hoping the weight loss doesn't age me. So far it hasn't. But even if it did, it is so worth it to have the health and energy of a younger person.

I am 52 and have had only positive comments that I look 10-15 years younger since losing weight. Maybe this will happen to you too!

Yeah, I think I look old and tired. But everyone keeps telling me how much younger I look.

But then, I don't see the 52 lbs I've lost. I only see the 30 lbs I have left to lose. It's all living around my waist.

I think maybe we're too hard on ourselves.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
