Omg, you have to feel amazing!

I am 2.5 months postop and I have lost 53 pounds since my surgery day. I started out at 310. I am starting to get worried about saggy skin since I am loosing so fast.

Do you have much saggy skin?

Should I start exercising to reduce it? What exercises and other treatments do you use?

Saggy skin....Depends on your age and yes how much weight you had to lose...I have a big spare tire that drives me nuts..I use shaper tees to keep a lot of that in...The lose skin will be something that a good plastics will deal with in time...

Keep up with your Water and biotin...It all helps..same with your vitamins...You will have lose skin or not...

I would rather have loose skin that I can hide with clothes then be 380 again and be the center of bad attention....Right now...No one knows who I am......It is wonderful to not be the center of attention anymore!!!!

      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.
