I really need help!!!

Hi again...

I really need help and support right about now.

I so far have been doing pretty well post surgery.  I'm down over 90 lbs since surgery, over 130 pre an post.

The problem is...I started doing P90X.  I have heard amazing things about it.  No problems there so far...but today I started the Plyometrics portion.  I thought I was going to die.  Not from the moves themselves...but from all my damned skin and everything flopping around.  It was so painful at some points I felt as though my stomach apron was about to tear off.  It was excruciating.  

Does ANYONE have any ideas what I can do to minimize this?  I looked online at compression garments and they are asking for in the range of $150 to $200 on the sites I found.

I'm desperate to not only keep going with my progess loss, but to also get myself in shape.  To firm up and build strength and conditioning.  Tonight however I'm so frustrated with this that my motivation has taken a HUGE hit.

I'd go to the meeting tonight at RWMC but I still have a bit of a bug...I feel fine, but my GP says to avoid people for a bit.  I will be at next week's men's meeting.

Any help?  Please?

Jon

hey jon, congrats on your success!  The extra skin can be pretty frustrating.  I don't know what you wear when you exercise, but you might want to wear something that is snug to keep skin from moving around.  Or maybe talk to Dr. Giovanni at your next appointment.  She may have some ideas from previous patients.  But remember, even though you have that skin, underneath is a healthy body.  The muscles and organs there are getting fit and healthy.  And when the time is right, maybe plastic surgery will be an option you can look forward to.  Try to keep the benefits of your healthy lifestyle in the forfront of your mind. Don't lose your focus. You have done an awesome job and have achieved an amazing weightloss and gained what we all want... health!  Good luck! I hope you get the answers you need, Jon!    Eldy
