Do you ever worry you'll be ugly afterwards?



Recommended Posts

Not worried at all about what I'll look like. As a couple of other people have said in this thread that I once was skinny so I already know what I look like. With that said, I'd never pick looks over health, but I am glad that (now let me put this to where I do not sound vain or conceded), I really don't have to worry about it. As I age, (will be 40 in July) the only thing that concerns me, other than my health, is the little tiny crows feet around my eyes & my mouth when I smile. But I've got some very deep dimples to take the focus off of my tiny wrinkles. HA!!!!

I want to know if your twin agrees with that!!! LOL:lol: or do you each think you look younger than the other?

lol - I don't think she would admit that at all.

She has had a much harder life than me (two messy divorces and now on to her 3rd marriage). It shows in her face and everyone else does not believe we are the same age.

Nope, not worried at all. I would rather be thin and healthy over pretty but fat and diabetic anyday!!

      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.
