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!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
