Reet 18 Posted May 22, 2012 I am 7 weeks post op & have noticed that my butt is sagging. Can I slow/stop this with leg exercises ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lissa 2,631 Posted May 22, 2012 I think mine looks pretty good. I've been walking since day 1, started hitting the treadmill at week 2, and now I do at least 30 minutes on the recumbent bike twice a day and just started adding in helliptical as someone else named it. I really like the way my tush looks right now. 1 kenni reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FishingNurse 1,211 Posted May 22, 2012 I noticed when I was losing weight fast I would see this or that sagging, and a few weeks later the skin kind of catches up. Keeping hydrated, getting your protien in, and working helps too..... 1 lisalalani reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted May 22, 2012 I use to have a butt, but now it's gone. I actually love it. It does help to work out, but I've been kinda lazy. I did start walking yesturday and today I am going to walk or go to the gym. then later I will ride my recumbant bike. yayyyyy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reet 18 Posted May 23, 2012 I started walking, but just added the bike two days ago. Going family doctor today, may have a UTI. I wonder if I can take pills now? Surgery was April 9th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ellis71 12 Posted May 23, 2012 I'm sure squats will help, too!! I plan on squatting my butt off in a couple of weeks when I'm able!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowgirlJane 14,260 Posted May 23, 2012 Exercise will tone muscles, but I am skeptical that it solves loose skin. I started much bigger then you, but my problem is more my inner thighs and stomache and arm batwings. My butt is shrinking, but not having any problem with sagging ... yet. I strength train and all that and under the fat and lose skin I can definately tell I am getting toned muscles under there. I suggest elliptical, or if you walk, hills will really help too. You can do squats, lunges and a number of other good exercises too. check out this link http://exercise.about.com/od/butthipsthighs/tp/butt.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
