I was thinking about having a tattoo made in the lower back area. Do you think I better wait until the weight is completely down or I could do it right now ? I started at 290 pounds and is now 230 going for 180...

I have a tattoo on my ankle and it doesn't matter about weight there - lol. I know that this is a tattoo posting - but, I didn't realize Carolinagirl that you haven't had any fills. That's really great - I didn't realize that before. I usually post on my i-phone, but I got onto the site at work and on the iphone app it doesn't give all of the information.

I have three. One on my foot, no probs there LOL. One on my shoulder, also fine. I just got an under-boob tattoo that says "No Day But Today" that I LOVE over my scar and so far so good. When I get my tummytuck hopefully someday I"m worried it will get jacked up but then I'll have to either do a cover or fix it somehow LOL.

If you have alot of lower body fat or are planning on any future cosmetic surgery I would wait. Just as a precaution. Skin elasticity, stretching and/or removal will effect the result of the tatoo.

I have one on my upper right shoulder where I never had much fat so there's no difference after the wl. So it just depends on the location?!?!?!

PS What are you getting :D

      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.
