20 Ways To Tighten Skin After Weight Loss



Recommended Posts

Has anyone ever tried dry skin brushing and/or coconut oil for loose skin? I heard it is really good for that.

I haven't until now, lol... but u can be sure I will be googling

Congrats! I too have the same struggle. I gained 75#, and stayed "comfortably thick" for quite a while after I had my son. I have been losing for the past year and a 1/2, and I have the same issue. Mine is predominantly on my belly. I have done lots of reading, and have a few points I hope will help.

Drink Lots of Water to keep you hydrated from the inside.

Keep healthy- Eating, workouts, Low salt, adequate Protein, no smoking

Keep your skin moisturized from the outside- I use St. Ives Skin Firming Lotion. It helps your skin feel hydrated, without a heavy, greasy feel. I can't prove it meets up to the claims of "Skin Firming", but I noticed a difference in the quality of my skin. And it's not expensive at all! I use it about 3 minutes after I towel dry from a shower. I love it!

Try Fish Oil supplements. I just started taking them not too long ago, so I can't make a claim either way, but it is supposed to help for various reasons.

Some people have more elastisity in their skin, and some have less. It will take time to go back, and it may never go back to perfect. But don't focus on the minor imperfections that you see. Think about the great accomplishments you made! You look great!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
