dmariesc 84 Posted July 13, 2012 The way my dr explained it to me is it is actually better to lose at a slower rate because then you won't have as Much loose skin- you have time to firm & tone at the slower rate hope he's right! I need all the help in that area....skin doesn't stretch so well at 50 lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cldroppleman 11 Posted July 14, 2012 I have actually told my husband that the difference from before my surgery and now is that I really can't give up when I hit the stalls and get frustrated because the change was my made to my body. That's why I can succeed at this! I just can't give up and I won't sabotage my surgery. I keep telling myself that no matter what or how slowly i will eventually lose this weight' date=' even though it's difficult. I also keep saying slower weight off better For my old skin. But I'm not saying I'm not experiencing frustration for not losing but I'm having to use positive self talk so I keep going forward with a positive attitude BUT it's sooo hard to see so many losing so much and I lose a total of 6-7 pounds in three weeks!! Stay strong we will both succeed at this and one day look back and laugh!![/quote'] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
