When I started my doc told me cardio cardio cardio...it burns the fat to allow for the muscle growth. I started with small time ont he elliptical and worked up to 30 mins after about 2 or 3 weeks. Now I am at 55 mins ont he elliptical and I do a Tae Bo video on days between. My NUT has a special scale that measure body fat and muscle mass and I have lost 35 lbs of fat and gained 1 lb of muscle. NO weights yet, but elliptical and Tae Bo (which gives a little resistance training). I think weights will help with loose skin, but you have to burn the fat to replace it with muscle so that is why cardio is so important. Some gyms offer a personal trainer for like the 1st visit or something. Maybe you could talk to them about how to get started. If you do a lot of weights at 1st you will build muscle but there will be fat on top of it....that doesn't sound pretty.
I was sleeved 4/15/13 and down 56 lbs since surgery.
Good luck!

I sent emails out to all the people on the list and Bellplantation.com wrote me back saying that they do not have samples to provide but I could go to a store that sells their products and purchase one item, or ask them for samples.
Also...Freelean1.com and wheynaturalus.com gives free samples, but they charge for shipping. Freelean1 is $1.52 and wheynaturalusa.com is $2.50.
