Advice on how to tighten that dreaded loose skin...



Recommended Posts

I have seen many awesome before and "after" pictures here on this site and as I am losing weight (down 50 now) what do you recommend to tighten my stomach area? I'm in my late 20s so I am hoping that I can bounce back, ha! I do have 4 kids- and one of those being a twin pregnancy. So, I am totallly ok with the stretch marks and slight saggy-ness, just wanting to try what I can to eliminate what I see in the mirror. (I'm still waiting for my brain to catch up to my progress!!)

Gain the weight back! JUST KIDDING! Lol. Exercise, time, and good hydration are the best advice that I can offer. I think a lot of people here share similar frustration with the excess skin. I think that's why many choose to have the skin removed.

I worry about the same thing but the way I see it I will be using push up bras and Spanx to support me. I also was thinking about those waist like belts you wear post pregnancy pregnancy to help w your back and get stuff to go back right, my mum wore one after her bypass and she lost well over 100+ lbs and she said it helped a lot. I hope someone answers this though.

I second the wrapping. Other than staying hydrated not sure there is much else.

      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.
