My own view is you could wait until you are maintaining especially as its going to be a big tattoo. You dont have any stats on your profile but if you want to lose a lot of weight it will change your skin and may make the tattoo look odd.

What ar you having done ?

ps: I am having my first one soon but have waited until I was maintaining and I had finished with my skin surgery. Whohooooo im an old rebel lol

How long after surgery can i get a tatt??

@@mgiii

three years ago,- i was 60 years YOUNG when i had my first tattoo,

i had just achieved GOAL too

hubby wasn't too psyched when i told him about the pending tattoo :(

promised him i wouldn't have another tattoo for the next 60 years !!

above on top of right hand , had the first 3 letters of my grand-kids name

M organ A ndrew E than

marked with a small red heart under each letter!!

in about 6 months i had another small tattoo/medium sized pic of a butterfly

had a small/medium sized picture of a butterfly above my 86 year old mom's right ankle!!

i had another tattoo 5 months later!!!

the word "survivor" concerning my

being a proud cancer survivor

all tatts on rght side - look great

all tattoos spaced nicely in small italic letters, one proportioned below the other!!

once again, i told hubby - no more tattoos - ever!!

probably....... ;)

      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.
