Tightening up.



Recommended Posts

I am just looking for a little advice from someone about tightening up my stomach so that I do not have sagging skin. Do you have any exercises that have worked for you? Any help that you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Just keep doing core work: v ups, sit-ups, planks, push ups, more plank, burpees, mountain climbers, etc. compound lifts are also going to really help tighten the core: back squats, wall ball throws, etc. do toe to bars if you have access to a pull-up bar.

You might also see my thread about sweet sweat and mcdavid wrap from earlier today as a way to draw toxins from your core region.

Keep drinking lots of Water to flush out the toxins from muscle break down due to working out and from those released from stored ft as it is convert to glycogen.

Eat as clean as you can.

Age and genetics also play a role in skin elasticity. However, I do believe with the right training and focus on good nutrition, anyone can tighten up the skin.

Good luck!

Sure - one of my responsibilities of being further out as a post op is to share information which others in order to help breed success. I am happy to do this. These techniques I have mentioned above have really helped me with tightening up the core section. The day will come when I can breath a sigh of relief and say "goal accomplished!" In the meantime, i am diligently working at this goal of getting a tight core daily. I am looking forward to having a rock hard core where I am proud of my shirt off without resorting to a TT.

      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?

      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! 😞
