I don’t think there’s really anything that tightens skin. Muscle development can fill you out a bit and make the skin less noticeable. Plastic surgery is the only thing that research shows successfully removes extra skin.

also your husband is a d**k.

I weigh daily because my monthly cycle has a huge impact on my weight. If I weighed weekly, some weeks I might be higher simply because it’s getting close to ‘that’ time of the month. Without knowing my daily pattern, that would really upset me.
So I weigh daily knowing that stalls and periods happen. I just don’t let them get me down

I am almost 3 weeks post surgery - transitioning from a 12 year old lapband to gastric bypass. I lost 200 lbs on lapband and gained 120 of it back over two pregnancies.
I am in shock of how ill-prepared I was for this transition. The lapband came so easily to me. I lost weight quickly, followed all the rules, etc. This time around, I am struggling to eat, sleep, take my Vitamins, etc. I am severely depressed (Covid-19 doesn't help this), physically uncomfortable, and I feel hopeless.

With that said, I've lost over 25 lbs in 2 weeks, I'm not having nearly as many actual eating problems as other people who had this surgery, and I know I'll get through this. I do not regret the decision at this time.

All,
I am reeling! I am about 3 weeks post-gastric bypass and am shocked at how extremely depressed I am. I am physically uncomfortable, constantly nauseated, and struggling to find energy to do anything. This surgery has thrown my entire world into disarray.
I feel like I need to clarify: I am a chronically optimistic person so I still don't regret the surgery (though sometimes my mind moves in that direction). I am also not even an itsy bitsy bit suicidal. I have a 4 year old and 2 year old and the thought of dying fills me with absolute dread - that dread of leaving my two children alone is a big part of why I had this surgery.

My husband has been extremely supportive but suffers from chronic anxiety and depression- he is dealing with his own roller coaster right now.

I need to beat this.. quickly. I don't have time for depression and all that jazz. I need tips, tricks, and any bit of mental or physical suggestions that might help me move past this extremely trying experience.

Thanks for sharing your story and I'm sorry to hear you're struggling. I'm crossing my fingers for you that things get better. Sending positive vibes your way!

It can be really hard to work through that. If you are on anti-depressants, the absorption could be effected with the surgery. i was told that in my program. i noticed that the first week, i was so very depressed and crying. and we're about the same timeline, but I would talk to a therapist or talk to your program about this. If untreated, the depression could lead to suicidal thoughts or even worse. You don't want this to go untreated.
Depression can't be beat overnight, but call and talk to someone.
