From Tick to PRUNE?

I associate my current looks as a TICK. Small head huge body. I CAN NOT wait to change that, I am however, worried that because of all this excess weight I have let myself gain will my face look old a wrinkly when I lose a 100+ pounds.

Do you feel you all look older since you weight loss? I don't mind the trade off for better health but I might need to start a Face Lift fund for my self.

A few months after surgery, my face developed very fine wrinkles. I looked like I was 100 years old. I am 66 years old so I should look old but not that old. My wife suggested I use Bio-Oil (available at CVS). I did and the wrinkles went away. She also had me use African Black Soap. It adds some moisturizers and seems to help.

So in general, I look a lot younger now than before the surgery.

I bought it at Bloomingfoods which is a health food store that focuses on organic foods.

Don't worry too much -- moisturize like crazy and just enjoy the transformation!
