I am almost 4 months out, and have discovered I am not aging as well as I originally thought! I am going to be 33 in a few weeks, and i don't mind a couples crow's feet, not an issue. But JEEZ! Over the last couple weeks, I am getting very deep lines under my eyes and the crow's feet are MUCH more pronounced around my eyes. I mean the major hair loss I was prepared to deal with, and I am also currently experiencing. I only had about 60 pounds to lose, and I have lost around 40 thus far.

Does anyone use any sort of eye and face cream that ACTUALLY works? I have been looking up reviews for some stuff, but I am always leary of putting out the money to try something new.

Guess the juciness in my face really helped fill in those wrinkles :(

HELP!

Oh yes. Wrinkles! Ick. I use Roc products from France. I get them at costco. Microdermabrasion helps and chemical peels.

I use Kinerese cream that my daughter recommended when I was younger....67 now, but not consistent enough to tell you it works for sure.

I use Skinceuticals and it has been amazing. People actually comment on how good my face looks. Love it, because I was starting to get horizontal lines on my forehead and the "elevens" between my eyebrows. Been using it a year, and those lines are hardly visible now, and random people have said I have a glow. I LOVE the Age & Blemish Defense serum the most, but I also use the wash, the toner, the Vitamin C, and the Vitamin b moisture. I think I will use this stuff forever because it has been so effective. Pricey but a little goes a long way and it lasts forever.

Keeping well hydrated really helps plump up your skin. I went through a phase when I got a few sunken bits and the wrinkles looked more pronounced. As I am 20 years older than you, I was extremely worried as my face had looked ok before! But that has passed and I look more like myself again... and Water did help.

Now if you really want to talk wrinkles, my butt would give a Shar-Pei a run for its money (google it, lol!)

I posted this somewhere else. I have enough high $$ products to start my own store, but I discovered at Target (via Dr Oz) the Boots No7 products. They have a high intensity serum that is usually on sale for under $20.00 reg 24.97. I love it and the cleansing, also day and night cream. THE best I have even used, better than all the high $$ stuff I have. Don't live near a Target. Go to Target.com and order, if you get their CC, you get 5% off and free shipping

I only use St. Ives collagen elastin facial moisturizer. It's inexpensive feels wonderful.

I had to google a shar-pei and I laughed out loud.. Now I am ascared!! So I am only 23 but am terrified of wrinkles and as soon as I found out that you begin losing collagen in your skin at 19-20 from there on out I started using a line of products by Kate Somerville. I love them as I have very sensitive skin and use her sensitive products.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
