its all personal where your body stored its fat look in the mirror see what parts are really stretched out and that is where you will have excess skin. Me I hold it in the front of my belly the kind that hung down to my zipper I know when I lose my goal I will have skin there.

women usually have the Jello arms too from what I read on here the tricep area.

you can take MSM- it's a product of rain Water.. it lubricates joints & causes skin to become soft & supple.

skin brush - helps stimulate new skin growth & remove dead skin cells. also helps improve circulation, which helps with healing & getting oxygen everywhere.

eat things naturally high in collagen, like blueberries.. blueberries are low carb & high in collagen. collagen is what gives skin it's elasticity. just to clarify, i meant eat blueberries themselves, not blueberry flavored things.. not that you'd think that, but you'd be surprised. lol :)

exercise & build muscles, so there's less skin hanging off of you. you fill in more space, but in a healthier way. :)

here's a nice workout routine to get a body like what most women want:

just skip to the bottom, if you don't want to read all the technical stuff. it tells you what to do, how long to do it & how many days a week to do it.

good luck to you. :)

I'm down to 35 lbs from goal and getting pretty lean. I have extra skin on my upper arms, upper thighs, hips, bum, stomach, breasts.... I'm like a melted candle. I'm hoping it tightens up on its own, but al of the techniques I've tried have failed. I'm looking at plastics.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
