So personal question...do/did you have saggy skin? You look super tight!

Yes I have saggy skin. I just hide it very well I guess. I'm fighting for plastics right now.

If you look in the "after pictures" 4&5 you can see the rolls of skin. I have a bunch tucked into my jeans too. I have a condition called Marfan's Syndrome and it causes lack of elasticity in the joints and skin. So my skin is all around, not just a panni.

Thanks! I'm planning to renew my vows in 2015 fall for my 15th wedding anniversary, and I am really excited about getting to dress shop. When I went for the original wedding, almost 14 years ago I had like 10 to choose from, I went online to David's bridal and they have thousands to choose from, and none of them look like they were shipped here from the 80's. Thankfully we are considering a theme wedding, him as a pirate, and me as a wench, seems fun, and since we are looking at a boat for the reception, it's fitting. I live in North Florida (less than a 45 min drive to St. Augustine) and that's really pirate central. :)

      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.
