Plenty of Water, moisturize, exercise. Sometimes it comes down to genetics and the health of your skin. I have heard if you have stretch marks in an area, the skin is already compromised.

No problem, I also worry about loose skin, but I figure if push comes to shove I can save for skin removal. I'd much rather be thin and healthy with loose skin than fat and unhealthy without!

well, i think it depends alot on our bodies (some peoples skin is more elastic than others)

and then some will be more saggy than others. i would rather have saggy skin then be obese anyday so i am not fretting very much over it. (however, you can always have plastic surgery if you want to). congrats on your surgery :)

It really is a lot of genetics....but if you continue to exercise it will help you stay toned. I think the majority of people have at least a little bit of 'flab', especially if they have lost a lot of weight. I have lost over 100 lbs, and most of my flab is in my stomach, but its not noticable with clothes on, and I think without clothes I notice it more than my fiancee, more than anything I need a boob job now.

I had this same question with my surgeon. I ask him adn he since as a non-smoker your skin is basically like elastic and with workouts it should not be something to worry about

      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.
