Anyone else worried about skin?



Recommended Posts

I'm really worried about the amount of loose skin I'm going to have. I'm 5'1 & around 222. I know Tummy Tuck is always an option but that is expensive.

I'm not really worried about it but I know I will have to do something to fix it at some point.

I've kinda just come to terms with it- it's happening whether I like it or not. Lol

(I'm 25 yrs old, I do the whole exfoliation/ moisturization/ exercise/ hydration thing and whatever else... I'm nowhere near goal, but my skin is already getting loose/wrinkled)

I'm not really worried either. I'd much rather be healthier and happier. Fixing it can come later.. I'm bound to have it.. I have over 200lbs to loose!

Nope. I just worry about how I am going to pay for the plastics. I am definitely pro plastics. I figure if I start saving now, I should be able to afford the plastic when I am ready.

I'm somewhat worried about it being 5'2 and 285lbs but, I'd rather be healthy with some loose skin. :) I've also started saving some extra cash because I know I'll eventually get a breast lift + implants.

We are virtually the same size cescelli! And yes, I think about the skin. Can't really say I worry about it...more important things to worry about!!! Just take it one day at a time. I'm 59 years old so my elastic days are mostly behind me. With a lot of hard work you may be lucky and avoid a lot of the skin sag.

Good luck!!

I would love plastics. Just worried if ill be able to pay for it. I'm 23 so I'm hoping my skin will still have some elasticity. I'm very excited to be healthier and smaller. I am not looking forward to a fanny pack of excess skin..

There are a few threads with people showing pics of how they look after all the weight is gone and they don't look bad at all. I think it all just depends the person. This one girl put her pics up and she looked GOOD!! She said she didn't really work out at all, it just bounced back. Type loose skin in the search bar

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
