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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
