I respectfully disagree. Extra skin is no burden compared to layers of fat. You can live a full life - healthy active joyeous -even if you need shapewaer. And clothes disguise excess skin but nothing hides obesity. My boyfriend was not bothered by my extra skin - it was me that wanted it gone. I liked my body before plastics but I didnt want extra skin waiting to be filled up again. Also I love stylish and fitted clothing and wanted to make that easier.

I agree, CGJ...I've actually just been having rough days that make me soooo pessimistic...URGH!!! My hubby won't care...he's loved me through sooo much already, skin isn't an issue! But thanks:)

chicken skin won't kill you. Plus.....it varies for everyone. Don't worry about it ahead of time.

Yessir, Butter, sir ;-P and I know it won't kill me, but who wants to wear a swimsuit and look disgusting!?!

Believe me I get it. That's why I planned in advance to have plastics. I knew I'd need it and even though I could have really used that money for other things, I just couldn't live the rest of my life with that jelly roll.

This may be TMI for some.....but after my TT my abdomen looks great. But my ass looks like 2 sleepy shar-peis.

So I'm not the only who who has a saggy booty now. I swear my butt looks like an 80 year old lady's butt, if you've ever payed any attention (I work in the medical field and have seen more than my fair share of naked old lady bottoms -- gross) then you know it all sags but for some reason all to the middle, so you have this little booty just hanging down with droopy skin all wrinkledy above it. I'm so not happy about my butt hence the 30 day squat challenge. I am impatient, I know it. I've only been at the squat challenge a week or so but I already want a cute round booty and it just aint there. I'm thinking I need a 90 day squat challenge....

I better start the squats. Already my butt has started to disappear, can the droop really be far behind, har har?

Geeez I'm glad I'm not alone. Down 107 lbs and it amazes me that my belly button has turned into a black hole. I thought I lost my belly button ring the other day but nope...just got sucked into the black hole. I have a tattoo above it of a butterfly... looks like a bat now that hit the windshield of a car going 90 mph! LOL :)

I'm really good at not registering what my body looks like at home in my same old mirrors but last month we were at a hotel with a mirrored wall in the bathroom. I had this sick fascination with all the ways my thighs are sagging. The worse thing is after over 30 years of a gigantic belly there is so much sag that from the belly button down my belly folds in now. So I have two belly halves like you have two butt cheeks! Very wierd. I also hate to walk around the house without my stretchy bike shorts or jeans on because of the amount of belly sway.

I read a book several years ago by a lady who had lost a ton of weight and she said her skin kept adjusting for two years after she reached goal.

Yep, I've got the lower belly "crease" too. You're not alone sister.

Sigh.

I'm starting to get into the loose skin stage; getting a little annoyed but also liking how much smaller I look! I started of at 234 (HW) and weighed in last Wednesday at 157.6! I'm a size 10-12 right now but I know that if I didn't have this flab+Post- baby fat I'd be in the single digits! Really considering plastic surgery!

      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.
