Walking has been the best exercise for me so far, and probably will continue to be for a while. Oddly enough, when I don't feel well (read: bloated, too-full) walking seems to help move things along better too. I don't know of any products that would help with loose skin, nor am I in the market to find any. The propensity for skin to sag is based on a number of things, none of which a drugstore cream can help. :)

A few months after surgery, the skin on my face became very wrinkled with fine thin cracks. I looked like I was 100 years old. My wife suggested I use a product called Bio-Oil available at CVS Pharmacy. I used it and the wrinkles went away. I have been using it for a year now and well pleased with it.

For the first 4 months after surgery I just stuck to walking. Recently I joined a gym and started working out with a trainer and I'm doing pretty much everything. Hopefully with the added exercise I be able to tone as I lose some more.

Best of luck!!

I hated it at first. It took me almost 3 months to get into a routine. Now I go to the gym 4 days a week. But I still mostly just walk. I run some, and I do some weights. The skin thing just sucks. My arms are toned on top. I have serious muscle but I still have bat wings. Some people are lucky and snap back, I haven't yet but I'm sill proud of the guns.

      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.

      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! 😞
