Has anyone ever tried dry skin brushing and/or coconut oil for loose skin? I heard it is really good for that.

I haven't until now, lol... but u can be sure I will be googling

Congrats! I too have the same struggle. I gained 75#, and stayed "comfortably thick" for quite a while after I had my son. I have been losing for the past year and a 1/2, and I have the same issue. Mine is predominantly on my belly. I have done lots of reading, and have a few points I hope will help.

Drink Lots of Water to keep you hydrated from the inside.

Keep healthy- Eating, workouts, Low salt, adequate Protein, no smoking

Keep your skin moisturized from the outside- I use St. Ives Skin Firming Lotion. It helps your skin feel hydrated, without a heavy, greasy feel. I can't prove it meets up to the claims of "Skin Firming", but I noticed a difference in the quality of my skin. And it's not expensive at all! I use it about 3 minutes after I towel dry from a shower. I love it!

Try Fish Oil supplements. I just started taking them not too long ago, so I can't make a claim either way, but it is supposed to help for various reasons.

Some people have more elastisity in their skin, and some have less. It will take time to go back, and it may never go back to perfect. But don't focus on the minor imperfections that you see. Think about the great accomplishments you made! You look great!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
