Do drugs give you an apron tummy?

No they do not. Significant weight loss does regardless of drugs.

Some of it depends on how much weight was carried in the belly and how old you are and the condition of your skin but also the speed of weight loss makes a difference. Fast loss via surgery and for some folks drugs is more likely to cause loose skin but some loose skin is likely after slower loss if the loss is very substantial.

Is this your hunch or did you actually read a study that supports this claim?

what part of the PP's comment do you think is controversial?

I got my apron from pregnancy. I had twins and my stomach was enormous on my small frame. Stomach skin never recovered. So I think it may depend how big your stomach got and how fast. And then just luck and genetics. But good to have lost weight!!

Same story. Not twins but multiple pregnancies and the fast increase/decrease in size has left me with extra skin despite my best efforts.

Not true, there’s no way of knowing if you will and as you can see from previous posters there’s a good chance you’ll have no issues!
I will agree no matter what the benefits of losing the weight are beyond any drawbacks. Good luck!! At 47 I’m going from 180 to 145 (peak fitness weight at 32) so I share your fears!!

Jeez all the ozempic users crawled out of the woodwork to flame her! Why are you so sensitive if the drugs are so great?? She’s pointing it out bc it is relevant and losing it via drugs does cause changes to your skin, your body comp changes and you do lose muscle mass so skin sags more. You guys need to do your research!!! The info is already out there.
And get over your insecurities. No one is judging you for using the drugs. Please don’t judge others who choose not to!

Not necessarily true. I'm a PP and I get monthly InBody scans that show I've maintained my muscle mass. It's a function of how quickly you lose - wether drugs or not - and how much you work on strength. OP hasn't shared how tall she is (30 lbs on someone 5'10" is different than 30 lbs at 5'2") or what her exercise program is so hard to know how the weight loss will affect her.

But it's not relevant which is why "we crawled out of the woodwork." I am not judging her for losing weight without drugs. I just don't think it's relevant at all. Weight loss is what causes loose skin and it has nothing to do with drugs. How fast you lose the weight, I'll give you that, maybe. Some people lose weight faster after surgery or drugs which impact your skin. But surgery or drugs do not cause your skin to sag on its own any more than any other weight loss.

So next time you try to be vile, please support your asinine claims. She did not need to include the dig about drugs other than to make herself look better than those of us who needed the drugs to lose weight.

Thank you for actually providing data (your own) to support what you're saying instead of just being an ass like the PP before you.

You are the one in need of research. Google is right there!

YOU are certainly judging. It's so obvious. Poor little harpy sad that her fat friend is skinny now.

Oh look, OP got sad and reported all the posts of everyone who said it really doesn't matter how she lost the weight but kept all the ones in support of her. Go figure.

OP here. Haven’t posted since my original post. “No drugs” was not a dig, just part of the info. Also, I’m 5’6” and walk 3 miles a day.

Jeff decides which posts are deleted, not op. You are welcone to report or ignore a thread if you have issues with it.
