Has anyone who has lost weight with intermittent fasting ended up with loose skin like those who have gone through WLS(weight loss surgery). I haven’t ever seen someone post an after with loose skin. Am I crazy or have I missed those post?
I lost 120lbs.
I struggle with this question. You’re not gonna give a shit about loose skin when your whole life changes, trust me. It’s just quite superficial, and I hate that it’s one of the first things people ask me like it’s some kind of deciding factor or like it really makes a difference.
I couldn’t bend over to tie my shoes. Now I can piggyback my 50 lb child for 5K and I just wear high waisted pants. Lol.
That being said, for me the loose skin was very minimal. But really, you’re not gonna choose not to lose to prevent loose skin. Stop worrying about it and just do whatever you need to do to be healthy.
I found this video to be very informative on this topic. Genetics do come in to play a little bit as well. I have a mommy pooch and stretch marks from having my kid, and though strengthening my abs has tightened the skin a little bit, it still sags.
