Loose Skin



Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I'm 25 and have lost a noticeable amount of weight but not very much yet. I was wondering if anyone has managed to loose around 80 lbs and NOT be a saggy mess. I know this is terrible, but I almost think that being overweight is more attractive than being saggy. :-/

I am hoping that building muscle and being young will help..but I don't know.

You are only 25, you may not have problems like us old-timers! Keep exercising and moisturize your skin. Hopefully you will be lucky and it will bounce back. I am 51 and have lost 123 pounds so far. Yes I am saggy, but damn proud because I feel much better, look much better and if I want, I can fix the skin issue. Sure beats the continued issues I would have if I were still carrying the extra 123 pounds. Remember why we are doing this.

Ive lost 160 lbs. and I thought I was gonna be a saggy mess. The only work i need is a boob job not that i need it i want it i miss my beautiful full breast. Funny thing about breast they're nothing but fat and were the first to go.:-(....What I think helps is how slow or how fast u lose ur weight. My has been slow and steady over the last three years giving me time to work on building muscle. Drink plenty of Water and work closely with your doctor to monitor your progress. Your young your skin will bounce back. ;-)

My surgeon said not to stress out about it too much and my exercise specialist said to just keep doing some hand weights while watching tv and walking. I dissagree that being fat is better than some sag. I speak for myself but if you are fat you take up so much space, face is huge, look crappy in pics or dressed up for weddings etc......if you are saggy tuck that **** into a Spanx and work it girl!

Good luck =)

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
