I need to say GOODBYE 2 my armflag!



Recommended Posts

Since loosing 70+ pounds I noticed my arms are EXTREMELY drooping. I tried strengthening with weights & resistance bands but still nothing. Does anyone have any tips on how to improve arms? Maybe im not doing it right or for long enough.Right now I have wings and I'm not a chicken. Lol

Please help

I'm not an expert, but one thing I've noticed from others is if you have loose skin then you're stuck with it. The trick is keeping it tight as you lose weight so it doesn't get saggy. Once the hanging skin is already there, you're pretty much stuck with it unless you get plastic surgery.

Again, I could be wrong, it's just my observation.

Mis - I think you're right on with this. Unless someone is 14 years old! :P

Okay, time to pick up the hand weights. I've been dragging my ass on this, knowing well and good that I'll have major flappers if I don't do it. When I lost weight last time, my arms were in great shape. But I started with the weights at the same time I started losing weight. Ugh......I've gotten so la-Z -_-

I go sleeve less daily also but I don't like the looks of my arms. How many lbs should my weights be?

Just depends. Start low and build up. I do crossfit so Im doing heavy weights now. If youre are at a gym they should have a trainer who could help you form a good workout routine to do a few times a week. When it gets tok easy increase the weight.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
