I was wondering if I could see weight loss progress with people who have had Gastric Bypass? It would be nice to see how much weight is lost each month ( I know everyone is different, but I would like to get an ideal ). I would also like to know what everyone is doing to tone up the extra skin.

    As for skin, there's nothing you can do about it. Work out, take care of your skin to keep it as tight as it's going to get and if you have a lot once you're done losing, get skin removal surgery. Skin is genetic and there's really nothing you can do except deal with what you have once it's done.

    ... however.... everyone is different. My nutritionist was worried that I was dropping fast, but I had reasons like small complications of stomas, and my back herniated. Pain medication for a month certainly didn't help with eating. These reasons I was not eating as much as the plan suggested. I was on pureed food longer than most, supplementing with protein shakes and bars.
    Now as I enter my 6th month, my hunger, and ability to eat more are well in place. Now I'm working on eating the right stuff (high protein, low calorie) instead of just trying to get some protein into my body. My daily calorie intake is around 700-1000, earlier it was closer to 400-500.
    I walk and hike. I like to do some climbing when I can. I was a cyclist in my past, and will try that again in the spring.
    Loose skin. It is in my stomach area of course, upper legs and arms, and my panties sit above the line that is actually where my buttock end. Toning the skin will not happen... toning the body underneath is the key!
    Getting more muscle so that the sagging looks okay as an overlayer is my goal!
