I’m 50, I think I look my age. I get comments that I look older and younger. I have no idea what my age looks like to other people. One strange thing is my body looks younger (with Spanx lol)
here is an old thread Face to face Friday. Face before and after’s

Okay, I put it in the face thread, but I’ll put it in here, too. The weight loss has left me with an older looking neck. It will probably tighten up some, but it’s definitely having an impact on how old I look. HOWEVER, even if I looked younger before, I think I look BETTER now.

It’s strange to look back at old photos, right. You are young, healthy and happy. Look at that smile! Its all worth it.

I sent a selfie I took a few days ago to a friend from college that I haven’t seen in 20+ years. (I will be seeing her in person this weekend and wanted to make sure she would recognize me.) She says I still look the same and so didn’t need to see a current pic. That made me feel wonderful. I was slim in college and am a little lighter now. Life is good!

      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.
