Walking has really helped reduce the loose skin on my inner thighs and doing wall push ups is helping reduce my bat wings. :-P Now I'm looking for some form of exercise to reduce my loose stomach skin. I think that high repetitions, not necessarily high weight or high intensity is the way to go for me. I think the increase fluid and blood flow into the loose skin areas revs up the skin recovery process.

Here we go im going to try t get 30 min walking in

Hi! I just registered to this site. I also just received my first fill on yesterday. I only got 2cc. I have to return in 4 weeks for an additional fill. So far, I have lost 18 pounds since I started my pre-surgery liquid diet. I have tons of information but I would like to know how much and how often are you eating? Then, if not asking to much.... what exactly are you eating? I love meat and veggies so I have no problem with the change. My problem is knowing when I am full. I have had two mishaps where I took one bite to much and it was not pretty. I am happy for you and I do hope your successful in your journey. I work out 5 days a week for one hour. This seems to help with me getting all of my fluids in. What about you?

wow what a totally different experience than my fills.. I've only had two and my Dr. does them.. so easy .. no pain nothing.. he gives me a cup of water and waits to see if I can get it down.. when I feel it in my throat he withdraws some of the fluid until I am comfortable again.. I can't imagine what she was doing to you that felt like a pap ???? where is your port? 4 cc is a big fill for the first fill... so far I only have 2 cc's I was banded in Jan...

If it helps you get through it here is my story. I started at 250 on May 6th (when I had surgery) as of my 60 days out I was at 200. Once I hit 199 I went on the front lawn and danced with my daughter to "Can't touch this" at my 90 days I hit a stall and am stuck at 187. That is ok because one it breaks the excitement will be like the first day again. My goal is 130 and I know I am going to make that by the end of the year. Stay positive and always be thankful for your loving husband.

Wow good for you!!. Happy shopping I cant wait till I have to go. I know it will be soon.

I don't understand 2 bandages. My doctor has me lay down and raise my legs and the port like pops and then he goes in once. If I gave up up carbs, I would lose more weight but when I do without I eat more of those items. But everyone has to listen to their own doctor and dietitian. Any loss is better than a gain. Congratulations!!!
