Hey there guys it so hard to find younger people to talk to so I was so excited to find this forum. Does anyone feel being younger helps with the excess skin??

I am 29 and has the surgery in September of last year when I was 28....I have lost 117.8lbs and so far my skin is going back to normal. But now is the tough part, building muscle to keep the skin tight and lots of exercise. I still have a little over 80 more lbs to lose. But I can tell you this surgery is worth it. It changed my life and my health.

I'm not far out enough yet to know what my skin is going to do, but everyone says it helps :)

I often wonder as well I'm 28 years of age and often search you tube looking for people who started off at my size or around it to see what they look like.

The first is me at 364lbs second is me at 246.2lbs my legs have went back amazingly as well as my face and tummy. My problem area is my underarms. A lot of people in my group of September 2012 members are using wraps that are working wonders for their skin.

What kind of wraps?! I got a massage last week and the massage therapist sent me info on wraps called the ultimate body applicator and I saw before and after pics and its crazy how well it worked after only one wrap!

      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.
