Recommended Posts

I was just wondering after bypass how many of you dont have lose skin? Is it possiable to not need any plastics? I am just now at the start of my journey, going to pre surgical class tom. I know everyones different. I have a big butt, large thighs and big arms, I will not be able to get plastics I have 3 kids so they are my budgeting priority lol. Im excited to be on the way to a healthier me reguardless if I end up with extra skin.

Your going to miss that butt lol I have to squat heavy to get mine to bubble out. I had plastics years prior to surgery which, well years prior I didn't know i was going to get RNY so obviously i would have held off. I also had a little suprise pregnancy so I would def get a Tummy Tuck now but mine is not bad at all I just want a crazy flat stomach. When I bend over there's a little ripple but nothing hangs down. My arms are not as tight as i like but I think weightlifting will fix those up. Just stay hydrated, lotion up and lift, some people's excess skin really isn't bad.

I don't really need it. I lost 110 pounds from 250 to 138.

I have a pooch on my belly but I've also had kids and I don't really care. My arms and legs look fine, barely any loose skin and I think it will get even better in time.

Ummmm I don't. I haven't been allowed to yet, my calories aren't high enough. Occasionally I swim but that's about it.

My skin is just good and I wasn't that big at my highest. I'm 5'5 and was 250ish.

      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.
