Just wondering if any of the "mature" sleevers (over 50) have any good suggestions for an effective facial moisturizer. After 2 1/2 months and 52 lbs., I'm starting to notice a lot more wrinkles! If there's a product out that that has helped anyone, I'd be happy to hear about it!

I think that's a matter of genetics. I had decent skin going into this and so far so good. In fact I'd say my skin looks even better. My routine is simple. I use my clarisonic mia 1x a day with DDF and moisturize with baby oil gel. I then wipe off the excess. In the evenings I wash with YES makeup remover cloths, wash with warm Water and once again moisturize with baby oil gel. I wear full face makeup (CoverFX foundation, powder, etc....) 3 - 4 days a week. On gym days I give my skin a break.

For the record, I'm 51 and so far I've lost over 55lbs

Hi Lolly123,

I am 54 and will be starting my 2 week preop diet on wednesday this week. I am concerned about the new "lines" I'm sure will show up. Currently, my skin looks pretty good because I think the fat is plumping out the lines..LOL! I know there is no miracle cream just good skin care. I must say, I am a huge fan of the clairsonic mia! Once I started using it regularly I noticed a definite change in the overall appearance of my skin. Regular cleansing and moisturizing are the best tips I can offer (my opinion only!! :). Have a great day!

I'm 69 and have lost 73 pounds, with 12 more to goal.

I am a big fan of Dr. Dennis Gross daily face peel (Steps 1 and 2). I do it about 3 times a week.

Otherwise, I use Clarins skin care products. Like them, too.

I swear by Rodan and Fields Reverse Line... I'm 53 and think I look pretty young for my age... Their cleanser and moisturizer (step 1 and 4) are Amazing! To be honest, the products are a little more expensive, but I think I'm worth it! :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
