Recommended Posts

Ok ladies is there any body lotions that help firm the skin as we loose weight or with cellulite? ? I know it's all in ones genes but something anything that minimizes and helps with the skin. Thank you all!!

I've heard Nivea Q10 is supposed to help, I haven't tried it yet but I plan to :)

I switch off using cocoa butter and the Nivea 10. I use it every morning and night all over. It seems to be helping. I still have some loose skin, but after 100lbs, with 80 being in the last 5 months, I think my skin is holding up pretty good... No matter what, I expected to have some loose skin :-(

Nothing works :-(. I take collagen as there is some minuscule data that shows it helps. But don't get your hopes up and waste money

I have two that I like. Malibu Hemp Self Tanning/Firming Lotion - http://i.walmartimages.com/i/p/00/07/63/51/11/0007635111260_500X500.jpg It tans you very slowly and it's one of the better smelling self tanners, in my opinion.

When I don't want something that smells a lot, I use Jergens Firming Lotion http://www.jergens.com/products/daily-moisturizers/skin-firming-daily-toning-moisturizer.aspx

During the shower, I exfoliate with a sugar scrub and gloves. After the shower I use shea butter baby oil (or aloe baby oil gel) a few times a week or just use the Jergens.

I don't know if it really does firm my skin, but I do know it keeps it soft. Plus these lotions aren't expensive and it sure can't hurt!

I'm using Amlactin. Don't know if it really helps but it sure can't hurt.

I'm using organic coconut oil and my hubby keeps commenting on how good and soft my skin feels. Not sure if its helping with the elasticity though.

Do you use the coconut oil in the shower or after?

I like the jar of coconut oil sit in the shower with the lid on while I'm in the shower so the hot steam melts it so it's like oil. Then I apply to my skin after I get out of the shower and dry off. I have noticed a big difference in how soft and moisturized my skin feels.

I use Olay moisturizing body wash in the shower, and after I use Aveeno positively ageless firming body lotion.

Does it help? I don't know. Does it make me feel better? Yep!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
