DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted September 29, 2013 Just a guess, but it's likely because you're feeling the skin leftover. Excess skin has a doughy feel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoingforGoal 1,734 Posted September 29, 2013 It's excess skin. Basically your fat is no longer filling your abdominal cavity to feel firm and skin tight. As the fat cells shrink, there's nothing to replace the fat volume. So skin becomes lax. I call it cottage cheese stomach...That's why I'm going for cosmetic surgery next month lol.

skb123 308 Posted September 29, 2013 Excess skin is my guess too. I have lost over 200 pounds 176 pre band and 36 post. My belly button went back where it belongs but dang it is funny looking! And the excess skin feels odd. No worries! 1 sylvia42 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
