Did you hire a trainer? Any skin removal?

[adriane76 26]

Yes I did hire a trainer and no I didn't haven't any skin removed. But I do have loose skin in my stomach area. A lot of push ups and a lot of ab and core work but I do this five days a week two of them with a trainer. It's hard work!!! U have to really push yourself there are many many days that I don't feel like it but at the end of the day I Love the way I look and feel a lot healthy...

You have NO idea how motivating this is to me. I am 275lbs and my goal is 150-165; However, I was concerned about loose skin.

Hello everyone and thanks for all the coments. Week one was my liquid diet Water, crystal light,sugar free popsicles and Jello and fruit juice bars NO SUGAR ADDED. Week two -four was a full liquid diet 1/2 cup of orange juice, sugar free carnation instant Breakfast, sugarfree applesauce, and i added Protein Powder o everything i ate and drink to. Weeks five-eight was Pureed/blenderized diet and weeks eight-twelve was soft, aolid foods. As far as the exercise part i think it depends on you and you body iwalked the same day i had surgery and from ther on i never stopped. I still follow my diet i eat on a kids plate i work out five days a week some times twice a day. i walk on the treadmill incline at 7.5 at 5.5 for an hour everyday!! And on Tuesday and thursday i work out with my trainer for an hour. You really hve to be true and honest to yourself. And i quote these word to myself everyday THAT THIS IS ONLY A TOOL AND I'M IN CONTROL OF IT! My doctor told me that so i've never forgotten it think about it true. Some people think of this as being a quick fix to lose weight its not. if you are not serious about this surgery don't do it because it is life changing. And if your not ready for change don't do it. :wub:
