I am 7 weeks post op & have noticed that my butt is sagging. Can I slow/stop this with leg exercises ?

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.

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.....

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! ;)

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.

I'm sure squats will help, too!! I plan on squatting my butt off in a couple of weeks when I'm able!!

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

      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.
