Working out!!!



Recommended Posts

I am horrible at working out and I have lost 113 pounds in 7 months. My weight loss is going very slow now and I am getting nervous I want to hit my goal weight. I have 29 pounds left to do that so I got a treadmill and I want to do that plus other workouts. Has anyone had success doing workouts at home for arms and tummy especially for saggy skin? If so what did you do I would really like to try some for arms and tummy. Summer is around the corner and would love to tone up a bit.

There are no exercises that will actually reduce the skin... only time can do that. It will “rebound” to the extent that genetics, age and physical limits (how long you had it stretched out, how much you went up and down and destroyed the elasticity and how much it was stretched) allow.

You can use weight training to build muscle to fill out the loose skin to a certain extent.

Not much you can do for sagging skin working out helps but the skin will still be there. I work out at home using weights ranging from 5lbs and up and I also do body weight exercises. Squats push ups, burpee, mountain climbers etc. I do cardio, jogging, as well. Its not always easy but once you push through and form a habit you won't be able to do without it. Consistency is key, over time you will see some toning and you will definitely feel the change in how clothing fits due to loss of inches. I am 15 years post op and continue to be a work in progress! 20180306_071800.thumb.jpg.b952b3a3544e3a0b65cceb71438d869e.jpgHope this helps and keep up the good work!

Google HIIT (high intensity interval training) workouts. That’s one of the best ways to lose weight and tone up. Also work on strength. The more muscle you have the higher your resting metabolic rate.

      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.
