You look beautiful ❤ I don’t care anymore about my loose skin as long as I’m healthy and love myself for who I am not for what others think beauty should be. A lesson I had to learn.
Thank you!🤗 I hear ya. Feeling good about yourself is #1. I’m happy with my progress but doing my best to tighten up as much as I can. I’m not a fan of the audible “clap” my arm skin and inner thighs will make sometimes. Lol.
You amazing Lady!! and your loose skin is not bad at all!! Congrats on your successful weight loss journey. I am a month post-op vsg and down 30 lb it has been such a smooth process no problems at all. Thank you for making this video❤
Awwww….Congratulations on your surgery! No complications is a great experience to have.☺️ I’m so happy for you! Just keep putting in the work and I’m sure all will be amazing. Thank youuuu for watching and taking the time to comment. I’m cheering for you from afar!🥳🤗
Thank you for this post; my body looks a lot like yours; as much as I am happy with the surgery, my inner thighs look really awful I am 62 and have lost lots of muscle in my thighs I am so disappointed I can not wear shorts above my knees I am hoping to go for skin tightening next year it's very expensive in the UK, but I will try and do it. I have had 6 children and am blessed my belly is okay, relatively flat, no muffin as we call it here in the UK. My arms also are so crinkled I tend to hide them well. It is just my lnner thighs giving me a bit of anxiety; apart from that, I am happy with my weight loss. You look beautiful; thank you for the video
Thank Youuuu for watching and taking the time to comment.🤗 I hear ya….inner thigh skin is weird but nothing a little compression shorts/leggings can’t handle for a while. I haven’t even looked into the cost of it out here. I’m sure it’s going to be astronomical.🤯 Good on ya for six children and no muffin! That’s a win-win for sure!😍🥳 I truly hope all continues to go well for you and looking forward to an update when you do choose to have skin removal surgery.🫶
Thank you for sharing this! I have lost 100+ pounds also, and my loose skin looks pretty similar. I definitely relate to your burst can of biscuits description. Sometimes the loose skin on my stomach or the wrinkles on my thighs impact me mentally. However, all I have to do is think about how far I have come and it puts things into perspective. A little loose skin isn't a big deal. I'm the healthiest I have ever been as an adult. Turns out a little loose skin is worth it! Keep up the amazing work. Remember, you are worth it.
Thank youuu!🤗 Agreed, isn’t it amazing how good we can feel even with this skin? It IS so worth it. And will continue to be worked on over time. But it’s definitely not raining on our parade! Perspective is key!😉
@@edwardzo4371 No surgeries in my case because I can't really afford it and I'm a little afraid of going under the knife. I count calories, and have an exercise routine (mainly walking). Still going strong. Thank you!
Thank you so much for giving of yourself so generously. I'm about 6 weeks away from surgery. I don't have a date yet, but meeting with the surgeon next week and they said he's booking in October now. It's September 15th today, so it's becoming very real for me. I than you for sharing because, of course, loose skin is a huge worry for everyone pre-op and one of the biggest considerations after dealing with the new way of eating and getting through the surgery. I gotta say, if I can come out looking HALF as good as you, I'm in!
Awww….thank you.🤗 I hope all goes smoothly for you! It’s definitely a whole new mindset but I think Gratitude is so important throughout this journey. It helps me stay grounded and motivated to make Better choices. I don’t wanna mess up this second chance at life. Plus, the loose skin can get tucked into clothes until skin removal surgery is an option.🤷🏻♀️ We gotta continue to live our Best Lives!🤩
Loose skin is normal and a natural part of life. No one skin stay firm forever. even people who get surgerys to remove it. It drop again with age.... you already took a big step. To be a healthy with VSG surgery. I'm glad for you and hope for the best : ).
Thank you!🥰 I hear ya…..getting older is great but I know I’ll end up getting it only because the chafing will be too much for daily life, let alone running life.😖
Lol.🥳The party never stops here! Life is a journey and we gotta find some fun in each day!🎉 You’re most welcome and Thank youuuuuu for watching! I’m doin my best over here.🤗 Woooooo!!! 3 1/2 more weeks and you too will be in the Tiny Tummy Fam!🤩 Sending 💫Good Vibes💫 your way for an easy peasy surgery and smooth recovery. You can always reach out here, via email or DM my Instagram with any questions. Girrrrrl, I’m an open book.😉
I hope so!🥰 Thanks Jess! Running is such a passion and when I started this, there was almost no info for people like me. Loose skin will get tucked in so I can continue doing what I love and showing others that it’s possible!💙🤗
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. It definitely has helped so much I will be getting my Sleeve done next month and looking at so many wonderful results from different people makes me so excited to get mines done thank you also for showing us what we can expect with the loose skin but my gosh you look amazing keep up the great work
☺️You’re most welcome and Thank Youuu for your support!💙 Omg….how exciting! Your surgery date will be here in a blink. Feel free to ask any questions whenever they pop up. I’m always happy to answer! Sending ✨Good Vibes✨ and (((hugs)))🤗
Woooooo!!!!! Congratulations!🎉🙌🏼I’m so happy for youuuuuu!!!! Feel free to pick my brain. I’m happy to answer anything that I may have experienced along the way.☺️
Thank you Katherine.🥰 I hope that people can learn from me and about me through this channel. I believe that transparency is key. I appreciate your support!🤗
Yasss cousin Jen! Love your honesty and desire to inform others. You know, I thought of this loose skin as evidence of the b.s. your body, mind, and soul didn’t need. Now, you’re on a journey to make that skin part of your story, and whatever way them biscuits end up looking like in the future, you’re right - you are living your mf’n best life! :)
I appreciate it Ian!😘 Yupp, it’s such an enlightening journey and having gone through muuuuch worse in life - I’ll take the loose skin over any of that. And look, I made the Los Angeles Marathon Ambassador Team! Life is W😍NDERFUL and I am Grateful for every moment.🤗🤗
Lol. You’re welcome! It’s not terrible. But I’m happy to share as I go!☺️ I actually wore a crop top last week and high waisted leggings WITHOUT feeling self conscious.🤯
Omg, you have beautiful curves. You look fabulous, loose skin or not👍 You go girl. You are young enough to get that skin little tighter with weights and ketovore diet. Thanks for sharing. I have a pouch of loose skin in my lower belly from pregnancy but only I see it and my hubby doesn’t care. Stay safe and beautiful 🥰
Thank you so much! That little leftover pregnancy pouch is holding on for dear life!😂 My husband doesn’t mind it either. But yes, overtime things will continue to get better.🤩
Awww thank Youuu!🥰🤗 My goal is to be transparent. I have flaws, insecurities, etc. So if I can help one person because of my honesty, then it’s absolutely worth it.😌
Awww thank you Dixie!🤗 It can feel a little overwhelming at times when putting ourselves out there. But if I help even one person, then it’s absolutely worth it. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment!🤗🤗
I had my sleeve surgery 6 days ago so brand new to it all. I flew home 3 days later and the cabin pressure was horrendous. Just starting to feel human now. I cannot stand the barifit shakes so just keeping my fluids up at the moment, giving myself time to get over the surgery, flight and everything involved. Any advice anyone has please throw at me. I start stage2 puree in a few days. Plus being vegetarian I'm stuck on ideas that way too. Many thanks
Ohhhh wow! Congratulations and I hope everything is goin a bit better for you. I can’t even imagine the level of alllllll the things you’re feeling now. (((Hugs))) Sometimes the Protein shakes can be a bit much on the new tummy. But things can change over time. I went through a few different brands before my body could really tolerate. It may stick for a few months then your tummy hates it. I had water, sugar free popsicles and premier protein in the beginning. Then savory broth came into play and it was amazing! I felt more human because of the flavor. Lol. As a fellow vegetarian, I still use “Better Than Bouillon Seasoned Vegetable Base”. It’s always been easy on my tiny tummy. And when you add puréed veggies…..👩🍳 *chefs kiss* I hope this helps. You can always email me and I’m happy to send some pics of the guide I followed after my surgery.👍🏼
Yessss!!😊 I worked out as soon as they gave me the “all clear”. Unfortunately, I’d been obese since I was a little kid. The only time I was thin was (a few years)when I was bulimic and anorexic.😞 My skin had been stretched out my entire life, so I knew reclaiming any elasticity would be almost impossible. Meh….but I’ll continue to try my best.🥰
Silly question considering VSG Is there a way to slow down the weight loss during the process to give your skin a chance to catch up and build muscle. You look great ❤
There are never any silly questions. But from what I’ve read, there doesn’t seem to be a way to slow it down. Mainly because of the size of our new tummies, and how little can actually go in them. The only real slow down is when our bodies plateau. But that happens naturally.
It's the sound effects for me😂😂😂. Thank you for your transparency and for sharing your journey...🙏🏽
Lol. We gotta have fun in life!😂 Thank you for taking the time to watch!🤗
You look beautiful ❤

Damn girl the rest ain’t bad either… I thought it was a video about loose skin! Well heck I got more loose skin and I’m fat…😅
You crack me up.😂 Thank you but this skin does make some audible “Flap” noises when it smacks into itself!😳👂🏼
@@vsgathlete I guess you have not noticed it’s just your body applauding itself.. saying “ You👏did👏that👏”
Now gone on and slay some more 🥰❤️👍🫶
