There is no cure to get rid of stretch marks but to soften them just moisturizer A LOT !

Try BioOil - it helped me through past weight loss & I've got into it early after surgery. Whatever you use it needs to be regular use (2-3 times a day) to be effective. They will never disappear but they will get finer so they are not as noticeable..

They will never go away :( but I have always used coconut oil. Have a bottle of it by my shower and put it all over right after I get out. At night I even put it on my face. I buy mine at trader joes but you can get it in the food isle were the cooking oils are etc. I love it!

I have read about skin rolling for stretch marks. It is supposed to rebuild the collagen in those areas. I've never tried it (seems too medieval for me) but it seems like the only thing sub-dermal. Topical creams etc, don't really work. Good luck!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
