Looking older after weight loss



Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone has experienced this. I am concerned that the more volume I lose in my face, the older I will look. Lord knows I do not want THAT to happen! I think a little Restylane or Juviderm may be in order soon ;)

I feel like I am old now..ESP..in the face...That is where I lost a lot of weight at first....None of my supporters think I look bad but when I look in the mirror I see my mother who is 80 years old.....

I guess it is one of the things I have to deal with!

I have the same fear as you and will fight it all the way!! When I finish losing all the weight I will look into some fillers if need be. Good luck to you!! :)

Im14Fun, it is a thought but think your genes play a part in the elasticity of your skin as does age. I am 52 next week and was discussing my goal weight with my nut - he said that as you get closer to your target, the older you are, what happens to your face and neck does come into play... So although I know what weight I would like to be, he said I might want to stop two or three pounds before then if I felt I was losing my face.

I am happy with how I look, no loose skin or droopy bits. But as ProudGrammy says, I would rather be a bit wrinkly than fat! Can deal with that....

Anyhoo, you look too young to worry about looking old :-)))))

I'm convinced by the time this is all over, I will likely be bald and wrinkly, but hopefully i'll also be skinny! :)

I have lines on my face that I did not have before I lost all my weight. But I would rather look older then be over 100 pounds over weight.

Well I've always looked like a kid. It's genetic. My mom and my sisters look younger than their years.

I get carded all the time. I'm hoping the weight loss doesn't age me. So far it hasn't. But even if it did, it is so worth it to have the health and energy of a younger person.

I am 52 and have had only positive comments that I look 10-15 years younger since losing weight. Maybe this will happen to you too!

Yeah, I think I look old and tired. But everyone keeps telling me how much younger I look.

But then, I don't see the 52 lbs I've lost. I only see the 30 lbs I have left to lose. It's all living around my waist.

I think maybe we're too hard on ourselves.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
