Skin Tiightening Procedures? What Non Surgical Works?

Yes the wraps do work. How do I know? Documenting measurments and pictures! Like I said, there are alot of scams out there, but I have been using a product for approx 5months. I put before and after pictures with the link where to buy the products and I GOT INTROUBLE.. I guess the people following the thread took it as I was solicitating. I got a message from admin stated quite a few people complained that I was advertising, I wasn't.

I never mentioned the wraps until someone posted a question on what creams have people used to help with the scaring. So I mentioned the wraps/creams I have been using. Just that 1 time! I time I mentioned the product, 1 comment, I didn't advertise on different threads and/or send people private messages etc... just that 1 time. sorry I am going on and on,

That is the thing I guess from some of the newbies who don't know us veterans, lol. I have been a member for approx 2 yrs and been sleeved since March 1st 2011.

Maybe people don't know who JaspersGirl is because most of them are newbies... but yes, I am read and not a fraud trying to sell stuff.

Awhile ago I put up a status stating I was going to try some wraps recommended to me (this was I think in April or May), everyone was saying, oh please tell us if they did really work. Yes they did. I haven't been on here much due to my work schedule, I use to work 3days a week, now I work 5.

It really hurt my feelings that people actually reported me... but I totally understand.

I know I am going off track here, but I guess I am still hurt and feel betrayed in a way? It's still on my mind and afraid of even mentioning anything.

I was one of the people who reported you.

If you want to go on the record here as saying you have no financial interest and you or someone you know is not directly or indirectly making money off the links you're posting, then I won't report you in the future.

Either way, like others have mentioned, these things don't work and have no long-term impact. They're a waste of money and hope.

As requested, I have reported you again. You are a master of reverse psychology. I look forward to purchasing your body wraps. Are they made from flour or corn?

It is also important to remember that things like: ethnicity, stretch marks and weight loss amount can all contribute to skin bouncing back.

For instance, some on here have amazing looking skin on their tummies but they lost about 90 - 100 pounds while others that have 300+ to lose will most likely not have those results.

Also, if you have a wreck of stretch marks (like me) it will be much harder for your skin to go back.

Along with the intake of fluids to hydrate the skin and time for the skin to catch up to the changes our bodies are going through, I would think anything that encourages circulation would also be beneficial. Massages, lotions (especially for people in the dry areas of the country) and wraps not only make you feel better physically, but gets the blood flowing to problem areas, along with exercise.

With that said, Team Jaspersgirl, can you please PM me the info that you have found to work for you. I appreciate any chance to pamper myself at this time. I abused and took for granted my body for so long, and now I need to make it up to myself. Thank you.

I will be getting a wrap before a family reunion in about a month, but I don't care if it only lasts a few days. I just want to feel super-cute while I'm there.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
