I know loose skin is inevitable but is there anything I can do before or after surgery to help tighten my skin up a little?

Exercise...the younger u are I guess the less loose skin u will have. I'm 25 and I go next Friday for surgery and I'm hoping that I don't have much loose skin but I look at it as if I do then that's less my skin will have to stretch when I have another baby :) but they did say exercise helps

This is my question as well ? Lol well I guess I will do squats and arm ups (push up... Yeah uh no) lol :)

With us being ages 19-25 , we probably have alot more elasticity than others :)

I'm going to be exercising my butt off! (literally!) I'm expecting the worse, but hoping for the best. I'm okay with it if it does happen. My doc told me that my insurance pays for some of the procedures after wls.

      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.
