I lost 60 pounds on my own 2 years ago with no loose skin at all. But I'm now about to be 26 and just had a baby 2 yrs ago so who knows what ill end up looking like LOL. I just did cardio and weights. If u have a gym membership they should offer one free personal training session so I would meet with them.and tell ur story. Ask the best workout routines to avoid loose skin :) not always guaranteed but will help tone

ok I have the same worry I've done alot of research and alot of people say its genetics but my surgical group says that since I'm young i shouldnt worry.

I hope so because one of my goals is I want to wear a bikini in public and be fine with it.

It would be great to know if anyone is able to wear a bikini, it seems like an impossible dream right now!

Okay soooo, I am BARELY thirty (I still feel like 25 though) and my dream is to wear a bikini someday too! Or gosh, even a one piece would be nice. I'd love to know if anyone has been able to come back this with a smokin' hot bod. LOL! I know that's not what our focus should be on, but it definitely is a dream of mine. :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
