  • Skin removal after extreme natural weight loss!
    **Thanks to LMNT for sponsoring this video! Head to DrinkLMNT.com/LAURASPATH to get your free sample pack with any purchase.
    In 2018 my husband and I lost 100+ pounds on a meat only carnivore diet. We have been working to maintain that weight loss ever since. December 7th last year I had an extended tummy tuck (skin removal) and diastasis recti muscle repair.
    November 20th 2023 Chris had the same surgery. I recorded his surgery and documented a lot of his recovery for this video. Let me know if you would like to see more follow ups and ask in the comments any questions you have for us

    Seeing your 2 beautiful children made me realize, because of the hard work you two have put in getting healthy, your kids will never have all the complications obesity & a bad diet can cause. Think of all the future pain you saved them! I was looking forward to this video, as I have lost 200 pounds & will be having a panniculectomy January 31st. I know that's different than what you both had, but it helps seeing how you each coped with the surgery. Thank you!

      ​@@josephwanjiku6853 No, it can't. After 5 years of care that skin didn't go away for either one of them. There is a limit to how much the body can naturally tighten back up.

I don't know how I ended up on your channel since I am not in anyone's shoes of needing to lose lots of weight. (Just maybe 20 lbs , someday ) But I started following you and rooting you on . I check back with your channel now and then to catch up. Praying for your husband's full recovery. You both are such a blessing and so sweet . May your life continuously be blessed. Keep up the good work. Sincerely!

But in a silent male way, just a smile with sparkly eyes haha. Amazing transformation when you compare with 2018. Congrats to all your hard work and for inspiring so many people with your success. Sending love from Cape Town❤

    Definitely reminds me of the recovery from my c-section surgeries. No coughing, sneezing, laughing for a coule of weeks at least, pillow on the tummy, binders are our friends, a recliner to sleep im is a game-changer and at our age (you guys are about the same as me) recovery is longer, 6-8 weeks or better and they dont give near enough time to go back to work.... that's when I became a stay at home mom.
    I'm carnivore to keep fit but honestly the mental focus alone is enough to keep me going!
    Glad to see he's recovering well. Best wishes!

    Congratulations! Awesome to see! Love you all.
    I went from 302 lbs down to 139 lbs without any excess skin or a single stretch mark. I had fasted throughout, every Wednesday and Sunday.
    Had no clue about autophagy until after, when the wife figured out that had to be the case.

    • @ceceliaherrera1364
      @ceceliaherrera1364 Před 6 měsíci +1

      @NativeIrish anything besides fasting? And by fasting did you just do water or nothing at all?

    • @NativeIrish
      @NativeIrish Před 6 měsíci +2

      ​​@@ceceliaherrera1364
      I would start my fast on Saturday night at dinner. Time was my last meal and I would fast from that point all the way through Sunday until Monday at dinner time. It's kind of like a 36 plus hour fast but during that time frame on those two days I would do nothing but black coffee and water.
      I would fast every Sunday and Wednesday starting Saturday night and Tuesday night respectively.
      I didn't do anything else special, and like I said, I had not even heard the term autophagy until after the fact. I was doing it because I have multiple sclerosis and had stopped taking medications and was trying to attack it with diet.

    I'm 65 and have lost 70lbs total. I'd gained back about half of that because of very unhealthy choices but I'm back down to where I was and now REALLY trying. I could probably stand to have a tummy tuck but I'm actually more concerned with the "bat wings"! I'm just trying to figure out if the recovery is going to be harder for me and if that and the cost at my age will be worth it.
