@@AnA92212 You lost an incredible amount of weight to only have that much sagging skin - you've been very lucky! I don't think I'll lose as much weight and probably won't be as lucky - but one can hope! Congrats!

I am lucky but I work out hard too. Everyone is different. I wore a binder after surgery for a month. It helped with pain and I think it helps with skin. Doctor said it doesn't but I did it anyway.

As someone who started at 688, and who is now 387 as of last Saturday, the excess skin has really become an annoyance post-op.

Nothing I can do about it now though. It will hopefully be addressed in the future.

That is amazing! I'm worried about loose skin myself. My highest weight was 540 and I am currently at 400 4 months out. How long did it take you to get to your current weight?

      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.
