Looking old after weight loss!



Recommended Posts

Those tongue lifts also help your double chin look smaller in pictures. Hold your tongue on the roof of your mouth while the picture is being taken. Works great...that is if you don't have 3 chins!

This idea of looking older after weight loss has been a concern of mine for years - even before surgery. I'm 44 but consistently get mistaken for being in my late 20's or early 30's. I'd hate to actually start looking my age.... So, when I started this journey I looked into lotions that would help restore the elasticity of my skin. Cocoa butter seems to be the best but then you go around smelling like chocolate all the time. I don't know what the answer is - I'm just keeping my fingers crossed.

I have a pretty big problem with aging.. looking old.. being old.

I just turned 35.

I been so scared of looking older.. Then someone pointed out that I dont have wrinkles and that made me feel good for a minute..

I may not have wrinkles but I already have this loose skin on my face (I wont show any pics of what I mean) and I think its goona be real BAD.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
