Is it true that younger people's skin holds up better after weight loss? I'm sooooo nervous and I can't afford plastics!

I'm 25 and sleeved 5/13 with 35 lbs lost. My skin is prone to stretch marks. I'm not sure if its the cocoa butter or what but my stretch marks are less visible and my skin doesn't look flabby like I thought it would!

I have stretch marks.. But I've also had two kids only 2 years apart :/. But I'm hoping for no sagging skin!

Hi! I am a little younger than you but my name is Janel and I just turned 20 years old. I just got my sleeve yesterday and today I feel pretty good. I was lucky enough to not have a lot of nausea and my surgeon said my operation went perfectly. Now today I am starting to bruise on my belly & my pain is about a 5 or 6. I am very pleased with how my surgery went & how my recovery is coming along :)

That's great and really exciting! The biggest thing that I would say is it is nervewracking but it's not as scary as it sounds. You'll be fine! Also, just be prepared for a whole new relationship with food and eating, it's SO different than before the surgery. I wasn't quite prepared for how drastic it is at first.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
