Hi all. I am set to be sleeved on 11/25 and have been looking at lots of before and afters. I am 5"2 and 255lbs with all of my weight concentrated around my middle. It is very hard for me to picture what my body and skin may look like after I lose half my body weight. Would any of you lovely people be willing to show pics of what you looked like before surgery and how your skin has adapted to the loss: not asking for nudes, but just pics that show the excess skin, if you are willing to show it.

Lol..With the title being skin pics I assumed lipstick lady would be here ;)

On the note of skin.. well I'm 56 years old so regardless of weight loss my skin is not a public request ;)

Go to the cosmetic surgery forum and look at the thread I started called something like "two weeks progress". There are before WLS after goal and then after plastics. Still healing from plastics so dont have final results yet..

Lol! I was really trying to not sound like a Pervster McPervy Perv with this post. I just really want to see what loose skin issues people have after the weight loss. I promise!

Thanks so much for posting these pics! I've been trying to imagine what I might look like deflated, and I seem to be built about the same way. Maybe to others it may sound weird, but I will be very excited if I look like this at goal. I imagine a compression tank and decent jeans will hold it in enough to look preety good in clothes!

My stats were similar to yours, and I have lost 104 pounds. I am an apple shape all the way. The truth is - the stomach ain't pretty. I have to wear compression garments for clothes to look nice. It's a downer, but I will take this over going back to my starting weight any day of the week!

costco has some high-waist yoga pants that have a colorful waistband on one side and solid black on the other. They are a miracle. You will find mid-rise pants are your new best friend.

I'm 15 lbs from goal and my skin is similar except I also have puddles of skin at the bottom of my butt. When is your TT? I think I would need a LBL.

      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.
