Topic: RE: Ok, Brothers.... I need some input

I'm also going to recommend a compression garment.

I've started having a lot of loose skin in my thighs, which has become a challenge in my tae kwon do class. When I do certain kicks, there is a "double" effect - the kick I'm actually doing, and then the flap of the thigh skin that sometimes makes and audible smacking sound.

I started wear compression pants and it has made a huge difference. I do sweat more in class, but I don't mind that so much.

Next up is going to be a compression top - I haven't found one that I like yet. For pants, I like the Sub Sports brand you can get on Amazon - they are pretty reasonable compared to the Nike and Under Armour options.

Hi- started running about 1 year post op. Ran 5k all the way thru a Full Marathon. I had similar issue and others like bleeding nipples(seriously hurt)Invest in compression shirts. I did and have not had issues since...

Well, moobs I have. I do want to start working with weights, just trying to get to 200 lbs first. No reason for that other than I wanted to avoid a sports related injury...

My first 100 fell off in under four months. The last 55-60 took six months. As you get nearer to the end of ketosis the rapid weight loss slows down. It's almost a given. Let's you head catch up to what has gone on with your body.

There or can get them at Wal-Mart too. Never used compression garments since as a plastic surgeon put it I had "deflated well". Not a runner but do walk a lot so that does not bother the moobs but when I do something that makes them bounce, riding a side by side on rough ground, I notice them then.

Had my 6 month appointment with my surgeon Friday, he was happy with my weight loss and bloodwork. However, seeing any increase in a Sunday weigh in does not please me, especially when I have been so active all week. I was 212.4 on Tuesday and 213.4 yesterday. Almost 18000 steps yesterday. These last 30 pounds to lose are very tough, and I am impatient :-)

Have a great week everyone!

Last week - 184.2
This week - 183.4

Better but not where I want it.

Dental work Friday morning has me looking like I've been smacked in my right jaw. Still puffy.

Onward and downward!

Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!
