My stretch marks aren't different, but they are more noticeable. As I shrink, my stomach skin is getting loose, so to be graphic, I have a tire filled with goo around my middle right now. My entire body is fine, but my front is horrifying. It's frustrating. I'm getting a Tummy Tuck as soon as I hit goal, because I hate it so much. I have to wear Spanks to work out because there is so much. So try not to dwell. It's just part of the journey and it's fixable once you are done.

Yes, the bidy has a great mechinism to create new skin as we get fatter and no real way of getting rid of it when we lose. If it bunches up and sags after weight loss the only real way to get rid of it is by surgical removal.

The only way to reduce to the point where the excess skin is readsorbed is to reach dangerously thin levels where the body will start and use up the skin tissue as energy, we've all seen the walking skeletons due to starvation or anorexia. THis is very dangerous and can cause MORE issues than it will solve. Working out to fill in muscale mass can help but typically cannot "fix" the loose skin perfectly.

      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.
