@@cozycastle50 I have some loose skin. Not going to lie. But not horrible. I think if I'd work out and build some muscle up it would probably almost disappear.

Two weeks out and not losing
There's something called the three week stall. Heard about it on other forums. Keep doing what your doing and it will happen.

Wrinkles
I can't say that. I have a few laugh lines around my eyes and a few on my forehead. I'm happy. My grandmother at my age looked over 70.

2+ years post-op... weight gain?
My doctor never gave me a goal weight. Soooo...I don't know if I've lost to much weight. I quit going after a year.

Wrinkles
I look in the mirror and see me at 20-30 with a few more wrinkles. What can I expect? I'm 53. :-)

More critical of facial features after WLS?
Wow! I'm not alone. I had my uncle today tell me I look older. Well I had surgery 3 1/2 years ago. I am older. In high school I thought I was a plain jane. I've had three old class mates tell me I was so pretty, they thought they weren't good enough. lol! My husband has ALWAYS told me I'm beautiful. (keeper) You look beautiful. I also know I look better from certain angles and lighting. Don't be so hard on yourself.

2+ years post-op... weight gain?
I guess I'm lucky. I'm 2 1/2 years out and started losing again. I upped my exercise and FORCE myself to get the water in.

Thanks everyone. It feels pretty great. Who'd of thunk? :-) I sure didn't. The only problem I'm having is getting enough protein in, and toning what little bit of muscles I do have. I'm lazy. I hate excersize.

Going down...
I'm not hungry. I try to eat multiple times a day. I've lost interest is most carbs. Most of them hurt my stomach (Breads, rices, potatoes). Sweets don't really appeal to me. All except my altoids, which I'm addicted to lately.

Going down...
I swear it depend on how much I eat if I throw up.

Going down...
I know it's strange to come on a WLS site and complain about losing to much, but it's all part of it. Unfortunately, it seems I'm only getting 600-800 calories a day. This is including protein drinks, which I can't get the whole thing down. I'm only able to eat tiny portions before throwing up. All I want to do is maintain, NOT lose anymore. As I said Doctor says I'm fine. I've had an endoscopy.
-
Going down...
My goal was 140 pounds. I am now 121 pounds. Enough already. Doctor says I'm fine. I'm worried. You should see my ribs and hip bones. I wear a size 7 junior and size 2 women's. I weigh 7 pounds less than high school weight.
