Barely any. Just a residual flabiness but its certainly not worth trading the scars or spending the money for what I have.

Although I'm probably going to have a breast lift

<p>I have a hanging stomach which I think in 14 more pounds (my goal) is going to be sagging significantly. My arms are ok, my bum a bit saggy and my boobs are hanging more than I would like. But its my tummy that bothers me the most. I know I'd be wearing at least a size smaller on the bottom if I had it removed via a Tummy Tuck (which I am SERIOUSLY considering mid to late next year depending on my financial situation and further weigh loss).</p>

Well - it's definitely there. I'm trying creams and later I'll do some bodywrapping treatments to help firm up the skin for my tummy.

My arms could use help, but I'm trying Ghost's method of massaging to see if I can take care of that on my own.

Nothing will lift my breasts except surgery. I'm still at a 38DD and I'm 1/2 to goal. When I was in my early 20's I was a 34C but I don't think I'm going to get back down to that.

I'd love PS but I don't know that I can justify the risk and the cost.

lots of skin here. But mainly on my stomach. My arms are good and thankfully no man boobs for me. My thighs are bad too, but they don't effect the way my clothes fit like my stomach does. I am scheduled for a Tummy Tuck on Feb 11th.

My stomach hangs every which way. I cant afford a Tummy Tuck so I will have to live with it everything else is a bit droopy especially my boobs. I wish we had a gym in my town so I could do more weight training type exercises. but I look better than before so thats ok.

      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.
