[Obesity Surgery Support Group} Excersice
I was wondering if anyone had any excersice tips for the belly and arms. I have
lost 70lbs since june 2002 and am experiencing the hangy belly and arms and am
afraid of my face getting hangy as well…
I had lost some weight before surgery… then lost 49lbs so far after. My weight
loss is slow, but that is how i prefer it. I lose around 2-3 lbs a week. Afraid
that if it comes off any faster that i will be hanging around all over the
place. Or that the old saying that the faster it comes off the quicker it will
come back thing will apply…
Any ideas??
I just want to tone my muscles.

Hi honeybee,
I had my surgery in October and also lost 70 pounds so far, I also was worried
about my neck hanging because my neck was so huge!! I have been doing neck
excercises that I found online and I don’t know if it is from that or not but I
think it helped because my neck is looking great!! I am copying and pasting the
excercises for you in case you want to try them. As far as the stomach thing, I
don’t think anything will help for that, I am planning to have the tummy tuck
for sure. I have been losing I think at an average pace, 71 pounds in 3 and a
half months and I have not had any problems so far at all and have been feeling
great, especially since changing my vitamins! I finally found a routine I can
stick with without any problems. I hope this helps alittle, Lori
