male only Post Op ? About Thighs/Skin

[rensterness 375]

Was sleeved a little over two and a half months ago, and have now reached doctors goal weight, am now 5'8 and under 176. As expected I've noticed my legs are skinny, but thighs are flabby. Just looking for some advice on any exercises as well as some tricks to hide it so I'm a little less self conscious about it. Thanks :-)

Spanxx or some other body shapers?

Wow! Congrats! And I'm jealous. :-) I hope to be at my goal before May. I know what you mean about the flab and loose skin. My husband caught me prodding mine yesterday and said "Rome wasn't built in a day".

I know plastic surgery is the answer for a lot of people and I never say never, but I'm really not interested in another surgery. I've had 10+ and most have been in the last 5 years.

For me, I'm hitting the gym and mixing weight training with cardio. When I'm on the road and not sure about what I'll have at the hotel gym, I pack a set of resistance bands so I can try to keep up. I don't know yet how effective it's going to be in the long run. I also massage skin cream in every day. No idea how much that helps, but it does make me feel good.

I did try a hot yoga class yesterday and although I did much better than I could have pre-op, I kept hearing John Pinette's voice (comedian who talked about his yoga experience). Also, it turns out I have no sense of balance, just a little flexibility and I'm not fond of exercising in an environment akin to a Houston summer (kidding, I liked the heat part but I had to get a dig into Houston). I do think that yoga will be a good addition to my regime, but I think I'm going to stick to a home DVD for right now.

Good luck!
