exercise after surgery

[GenaW828 117]

I wanted to know what exercises you all have done to tighten the loose skin? My surgery is Thursday and just want to make sure I have everything to be successful. Also I have a lot of back fat and stomach weight really want to know stuff for that.

Sorry, there is not much you can do but moisturize, and you will need tubs because my skin is dry as the desert all the time. Skin has a mind of it's own and everyone's is different. There are no exercises for skin only muscle can be toned but as a lot of people point out, it's very hard to grow muscle on a starvation diet. I only eat 1/4 cup, 3 times per day because that's all a pouch can handle on the first month. I would call that a starvation diet, wouldn't you? But surprisingly, I don't feel weak of hungry. Protein intake helps but in the early stages post-op you can't eat much. But it's not all bad. Your clothes will fit better and you will feel better as the pounds are shed.

Good luck.

I have muscle. My arm and legs are doing great. I'm working on my core. Weight lifting has help me tone up. It helps to hit your Protein goals. Loose skin will happen. I'm not lucky enough to get plastics. The skin is not as bad as I thought it would be. Hubby has no complaints:)
