I just started using mederma too. My scars are so red and I hope it works. My stretch marks aren't so bad but I'd love to find something that would help with them too.
If its made with actual cream it has a lot of fat so read the labels. My nut said no to any cream Soups made with cream. Some "cream of" soups dont have any cream though, its just in reference to texture.
I had cream of something (can't remember which) and it was so heavy in my stomach. I was in pain for hours.
I was sleeved 10/2. I dropped 23 pounds in my first 10 days. Then nothing for 3 weeks. I realized I don't know why it just happened. Finally I started eating some more and the weight started again. I'll be 6 weeks on tues and I'm down 40lbs. With me it was me not eating enough. But hang in here it's aggravating but it will start again. And dont weigh everyday that will drive you crazy. Lastly remember you can be losing inches even if you aren't losing lbs.
