I now see wrinkles and folds on my face. I am happy nonetheless for being fit and feeling younger, even if does not show on my face.

Botox and fillers are not my thing.

I also have developed some laugh lines and forehead wrinkles I did not have previously. I thought maybe it was because my 30th birthday is coming up in a few months but it must be weight loss because I've always had incredibly smooth skin.

Experimenting and finding makeup that doesn't settle in my new creases was interesting. I think I've finally found one that I'm happy with.

I'm not opposed to fillers but I'm not to that point yet either.

I have wrinkles too and I'm 31. I notice it specifically around my eyes. I, however, love fillers, lol. I used Voluma in my cheeks which worked great, Juvederm in my lips, which was a total waste of money because you can't even see it, and botox in my forehead, which worked great while it lasted.

I have found my skin very dry and have been slapping on the moisturiser, what feels like all day long. I have used coconut oil on my body for a long time and my skin has always been good but my skin on my body is very dry and itchy since surgery. I hope it gets easier as I'm not this high maintenance usually :P

I am 54 and had Botox twice and wouldn't be adverse to having it again or to try fillers too.

I've never had dry or itchy skin until surgery. It wasn't until I increased my fat that the issue went away and my skin is soft and smooth again.

      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.
