extra skin, and stretch marks



Recommended Posts

My surgery isn't until the 12th of this month and I've been hearing you'll have so much extra skin and your stretch marks will stay the same... Is there anything besides coco butter that will help and the extra skin I know excersise but anything else to help with the elasticity.. thanks all and good luck

I bought some sports wraps. I'm about 3 weeks out so i can't really use them yet but i wanted to have something.

http://www.mcdavidusa.com, i got this brand at Sports Authority, opened the packages in the store to make sure they fit over my fat arms and thighs, lol.

I am one year out & have taken a MSM supplement to help w/ skin issues. In all honesty mine is not bad. Yes I do have some on my inner thighs & tummy, but it's not bad.

      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! 😞
