Any Ideas For A Wagging Chin?



Recommended Posts

I'm just two weeks in and I can already feel an increased weakness in the turkey wattle below my chin. Any ideas on chin exercises to help the skin keep up with the weight loss? Many thanks

Oh god, I hope someone chimes in here with a miracle -- my wattle is hideous. Makes me look a decade older than I am. :(

The idea of sagging skin nearly stopped me because I know that I will never afford follow-up surgery on that apron, those bat wings, etc. Shiver. I know exercise can help, but I admit the idea of being such a "loose woman" scares me.

standing, bend head back to stretch neck, hold few seconds, repeat a couple of times.

tilt head back, do a chewing motion about 20 times, repeat a few times

tilt head back, try kissing ceiling, hold few seconds, repeat a few times.

turn head hold a few seconds, turn to other side, repeat a few times.

Of course, if you have limitations or neck injuries consult your doctor. Try just about anything to stretch neck. Creams and other stuff advertised is not going to shrink skin. Last resort is a face lift.

My wattle wags. My bat-wings pop against my rib cage when I change clothes. My inner thighs are as crepey as my eye-lids. My panda-bear tattoo is now a giraffe. But I've lost almost 30 pounds, and by golly, I'd rather sag than bulge.

Bionic Broad, I like your style. I may never look good in a bathing suit, but as look as I look good in my own head, who cares?

Loose skin also worries me. I can see my stomach shrinking from my pre op diet and it already is sagging. I know clothes will hide a majority of the excess skin but undressing for a shower or our husbands leaves me feeling a little ashamed that I allowed myself to become this way. However, being able to walk and breath better is well worth the sagging skin. We are all sexy in our own ways and besides what matters is what is inside a person. Good luck!!!

I can cover up the sagging body with clothes but everyone sees my face. Face/necklift on Wednesday!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
