Oooooo I love all these beauty tips! My new favorite is coconut oil. I was giving some to the dog on a treat and figured "what the heck?" and smeared it on my arms, legs, face. I'm a product junkie (when I die I hope heaven is a combo of a dog park and a Sephora) and have lots of creams and potions. Well don't you know my skin looked and felt better than ever with that Trader Joes coconut oil right out of the jar? Granted the dog kept trying to lick me for several minutes but it worked!! Keep the tips coming ladies!!!

awesome. I've heard great things about it. I will try that.
Dog park and Sephora, add a beach and that's a heaven I would love to be in.

I'm obsessed with products.

Ok ladies (and maybe gents?) I just got back from Walmart. I could not find the Nivea serum but I did find this firming cream. I will test it out and report by findings in a week. Gosh this is FUN!! post-77434-14629237512234_thumb.jpg

I love the way coconut oil makes my skin feel. I add a few drops of lavender essential oil and it smells wonderful.

That sounds like an awesome beauty hack. I'm going to try that. Oh yeah and did you all know old coffee grinds can be used to exfoliate your skin and reduce cellulite? ! Try it.

I did the coffe scrub yesterday and my skin is baby smooth with this spectacular glow. Seriously to die for. Definitely worth a try.

@@missjaded44 I was looking at the prep H, to try your suggestion, and found there are a few different types of that as well (I had no idea!). Anyhow, which one do you use?

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
