Trust my body is not flawless but I am very happy with how things turned out. I can wear lingerie and look sexy, I can shop anywhere and the funniest thing is my 18 year old daughter we wear the same size now and she is always in my closet (lol).

For the question of stretch marks, my sister is 5 yrs out she went from 235 to 125 her arms and thighs have hanging skin that is noticeable with stretch marks, however she is so thin in those area (and actually to me too skinny all over ) . We all have to understand we abused our bodies up til having the surgery. I have stretch marks everywhere from my upper arms down to behind my knees. You will have hanging skin, but remember do u really think it would be worse to stay obese and unhealthy ? I don't know anybody who would change going back to the way they were and I personally know at least 15 people who have had surgery

To anyone that has saggy skin, I have a small amount of hanging skin in the belly area, but no sagging on my legs or arms. Very little stretch marks. My doctor said I didn't have the sagging problem because I had Solid Fat. Plus I was in the gym way before I was suppose to be. I was just determined to not have the excessive skin hanging. I can wear shorts & pencil Skirts without being worried about my legs or thights. I'm not worried about my stomach I've had 5 children so I already didn't have a flat stomach.

That's great, just don't overdue it like I did. I was in the gym 2 weeks after my surgery and almost passed out. I'm very hard headed (LOL). My doctor told me that I wasn't taking in enough calories to be going to the gym to burn off calories. So I stopped then started back a month later, but in the meantime do weights on your arms (so you can build up muscle) and walk.

      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.
