You can build the muscle under the skin, but not tighten the skin. Skin contains no muscle.

That said, building muscle in arms and legs (even backsides) is a great way to fill in empty skin.

Ahh, but you did say;

If you had said "You can fill the empty skin with muscle to help the skin look tighter" I would have agreed 110% but, I was just correcting a misleading statement.

No snark intended.

Dear Chickie I was not trying to give a misleading statement. when I had lost all my weight I noticed that I had about three inch's of lose skin I,called flags. And I hated the way they would hang, after lifting weights for a short time. it is so amazing how weight lifting can tone your body and you can burn lots of calories doing it And Im glad you are doing so well you look great! have a nice day! JOHN

      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.
