Ok, I was sleeved May 6th 2013 and am able to work out. I been walking 1 mile day and do 5 lb dumb bell arm exercises, and do Pilates leg work out! All daily for few days now. Im also using Palmers Co Co Butter for stretch marks and firming skin. I'm wondering if there is anything else I can do to tone up the inner thighs and under arms! I am terrified of having saggy skin, any ideas will be greatly appreciated

I heard coconut oil was great in helping firm up the skin.... I bought some, so I hope it is true!!! They have huge tubs of it at GNC for like $50 smaller ones for $30

I sure hope that stuff works for you.. ive always been told there is nothing you can do for it.. but hey one can hope right? I too have the palmers for toning skin.. when I read that it would work I stopped using it.. talked to a surgeon..and he said nothing will help other than getting the tummy tuck..the arms down.. sort of an overhaul on the body.. im only worried bout my stomach right now.. yes there is much saggy skin.. so in a year or so.. I will have that taken care of..and get more of a shape to me.. other than round LOL. then my hubby says I can get my breasts lifted too if I wanted to.. no additives or anything just lifed and skin tightened.. so that will be cool.. but Ive a long ways to go for all that.. I want to have my wt maintained before all of that.. Im really excited about the future for me.. its been a great journey.. worth everything Ive been thru.. hope your will be too.. might try the coconut oil tho in hopes of that working.. let me know if it does. :)

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

      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! 😞
