loose skin

loose skin not really an issue when sitting or standing up right or when I'm laying on my back.. all in all it looks OK..

but the minute I get on my hands and knee's that is a different story..

OMG I was like what the f*** is all this.. pretty gross and funny at the same time.. I am definitely going to need  everything pulled and tucked when all this is over.. I don't want to look like an anorexic cow with huge udders flopping around..LOL

Same exact problem here.  I always try to avoid being on my hands and knees, especially during sex, though it seems to rule out a lot.  I've been with a couple of guys who I had seen long enough to be comfortable in that position (especially when performing oral, when they're in a perfect position to see everything in its natural state).  But I've come to realize that it's more a problem with me than anything else.  I've been with enough guys since the surgery to know that most really don't care.  So, until I get my tuck, I've learned just to say **** it and do whatever feels good.

Cheers,

Exactly.. as long as the bed is rockin it's all good... I'll take this floppy belly over my big belly any day.. at least now I don't have to lift my belly to see what is going on down below..
 
Its was amazing when I was able to see everything that I was feeling.. I have been with my partner for 4 years now and it has been a mayor change in our relationship but it has been one for the better.. He misses my chubb but we can alot more things that were not possible before..

thanks for the feed back.. Kudos to you and you look amazing..

hrm.... I guess stalls do have a benefit....  maybe I should enjoy the slower weight loss.

I've yet to see a picture of bad skin on a guy... but then again there aren't that many out there...

and I take it cocoa butter is a joke?

You should make sure to keep your skin moist with cream, but it won't make the skin recede or make the stretch marks go away.  The cream will help with a little elasticity, but you will find your skin is drier than you're used to.  However, elasticity depends on your age, your skin, and I think how long you've been fat...lol.  I've been overweight since I was a kid so my skin will heal only so much.  Exercise is a major factor to tone the muscles and give definition to help the skin lay better.  I'm fortunate that my skin has been pretty elasti****il now...I'm down to my last 40 pounds and I think I'm now really going to see the loose skin.

I lost a lot of weight about 12 years ago when I came out... but as I settled down, quit smoking, quit partying, quit other things... the weight came back... and doubled.   So it's been gradual over the past 10 years.   I am working out and doing cardio, so hopefully i have that to my advantage.  I'm noticing that my neck is toning up, and my arms aren't as hateful.. but I'm only 1/2 way through my goal, so we'll see.

Thanks for the input :-)

Definitely, I moisturizer more than ever... I do a combination of lotions and creams, nivea for men, nivea regular, coco butter, some lotion than my mom got me that has placenta, roots things and some sort of enzymes.. I am totally lathered up.. after every shower I re shower with moisturizer.  and through out the day i put lotion on my hand and face.. I do feel dryer than before even though i am drinking water all day...

Met with a trainer for weight lifting so I am doing a little bit of that. and I am going to start training for the Long Beach marathon.. very excited I have never ran a marathon but always wanted too..

Thanks for your feed back.. congratz on getting to your final 40...
