I am guessing you are losing fat and your skin is loosening with the absence, which made your body feel more solid before. Over time and with exercise, some of the skin may shrink, but many people have to have it removed surgically once their weight loss is complete.

So is mine, making me very depressed. How did I get this fat? I am already looking into plastic surgery.

The fat isn't softer, you feel softer cause the there is less fat pushing on your skin. My stomach used to be big and round and tight feeling. Now it's semi flat and feels like Jello. Lol. It does improve. I have noticed my skin improve and shrink back a lot in the last 2 months. (I'm almost 8 months post op)

you can look at my before and afters and see how solid my belly was before surgery and now how dimpled it is after. it has gotten better with exercise though. I have noticed one improvement with my skin.... I used to have little pimple like dots all over my arms and legs.....those are completly gone now, and my skin feels so smooth and soft. I love that.

Yeah, I'm pretty jiggly now. I'm hoping as a tone with exercise some will go away. I will always have the c-section belly though to some extent. I'm 46 BTW.

I feel the "jiggly" too.. I think it is normal- Your body will be deplete of Water and some toxins that are stored the more weight you loose. Plus the more weight you loose the more you will want to look at your body and see it's changes...

      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.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
