He said he rubs in the preparation h im sure really good then applies the vicks vapor rub then wraps in plastic wrap, he said he started with the large rolls from Walmart of wrap then found it was cheaper to go to lowes or home depot and get the moving plastic wrap he said it covers more area and is more comfortable.
then he goes to bed and removes it all before showering, i would imagine though if you are home a lot that you could do this during the day as well, i haven't got that far in my surgery yet but i will be trying it down the road.

During my last Support Group with the surgeon this question of sagging skin came up a patient who is 3 months out stood up and told us his method, this may sound strange but he showed us the results, he uses Preparation H as well as Vicks Vapor Rub both are generic he rubs the preparation h on first then vicks vapor rub then wraps the area with plastic wrap he then sleeps in this and in the morning removes it and showers and doesn't do it again until that night before bedtime.
His results were amazing and the doctor even said he had heard of that technique before the patient found the recipe for this type of skin tightening online.
just thought this may help a few post op peeps out there

i looked over he Facebook PAGE AND CANNOT LOCATE ANY ARTICLE ON DEPRESSION, IF YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE A WEB LINK TO THAT ARTICLE THAT WOULD BE GREAT .
THANKS

Contacted my doctor today who performed my gastric bypass, he is sending me to a Psychiatrist that i had seen before surgery for the pre surgical stuff, so maybe he can help with what ever is going on because i can find no reason in myself for me to be depressed.
so i hope to go next week and i have support group next Thursday so maybe ill bring it up and see who else has gone threw this i have met 1 lady who did but haven't had the chance to sit and talk with her .

Also check your thyroid. It is not part of regular bloodwork so you have to ask. For the first time in my life I have a thyroid problem after bypass and b12 had to be upped.
Hope you feel better soon!

Red flag! You have put too much of yourself into this process. Good you recognize it, but, you have to act on this. Three legged stool... Physical, emotional, and psychological needs all have to be factored in and taken care of... Call the office in the morning! Good luck.

Well had my 3 week 3 day post op exam today and that went really well i am down 32 pounds total and 12 pounds since August 5th. doctor was very pleased but did say i had to cut back on fluids i am drinking double the requirement . also start physical therapy in 4 weeks instead of 6 weeks.

Premier Protein is the best i have had 30 grams Protein per 11 ounce shake, they are really priced well at BJ'S & Sams Club

What made the Protein Shakes bareable to me was mixing in a banana and some ice. It tastes like a nice smoothie. I could not drink it otherwise. Can you have fruits? My doctor cleared me for bananas pretty early (10 days after my surgery I was on well chewed solids, 5 days after surgery I was on pureed!!), so this saved my life. I love my shakes until this day. But I have to watch now as I can eat more, and one smoothie with the banana and milk is over 200 cal, so I gotta go easy...

Look at the recipes for Protein Shakes on the website theworldaccordingtoeggface dot com. She has some amazing ones made with sugar free puddings, instant coffee, fruits and other things. Maybe you will find something you can work with.

What is the best brand(s) of Protein Drinks that are ready to drink in a container? I don't want to buy tubs of powder. The RTDs taste better to me.
Thanks!

Congrats !! I can drink lots to I got scared like is this normal lol

My surgery was August 5th 2014 and i have had an energy issue as well, doctor said yesterday thats fine just move around a lot. i did start walking the day of surgery and walked for the next 2 weeks but after walking i felt drained like i had done a full day of yard work or something. i also hope things become normal but not yet

I didn't eat at gatherings until I was pretty much unrestricted. I just had a bottle of Water with me and talked a lot. When I finally started eating I used a solo cup (which tend to be everywhere in the summer) and usually put fruit in it. Then people couldn't see how much or what I was eating.

Great job! How are you drinking so much? I am fighting to get enough fluids in and I sip all day long!
