The oils I frequently use I listed earlier. I also use grapeseed oil and jojoba oil which is great if u have sensitive skin because it is very similar to the oils our body reproduce naturaly. Ive also heard great things about almond oil for skin and stretch marks I may add that to my next concoction. lol.....those are a few suggestions but I encourage you to do your own research everyones skin is different but I dont think u can go wrong with natural oils its the chemicals in all beauty products we buy that im afraid of -

I was sleeved on 7/9 lost 12 lbs preop Date of surgery 233 I am now 203 total of 42 lbs lost. I cant wait to see a number under 200. I believe I could be doing better but with my busy schedule I've not fit in exercise as much as I should. However I follow my food plan MOST days lol not always perfectly, but im happy! Its a journey and I dont want to be so strict that I don't enjoy it. Ive wasted enough of my life worrying and being miserable. I got a second chance and im living now! God bless us all and our new healthier lifestyle! -
Thank you!

I dont know much about body media but I can say that I looove my fitbit flex!! At the time I purchased it I compared it to jawbone and nike fuel band and the flex was the best. I love that it links up with other apps like mfp and walgreens where I earn points and discounts. I charge it once a week, it's water proof, and I often forget I have it on.

Don't worry you'll get it soon enough. I dont think any of us are pros at this yet. It's still early on and its a big adjustment. I try not to kick myself when I mess up or eat something wrong because we are still learning what works and what doesn't. Just give it time -

I thought the same and was worried I stretched my stomach already but as posted earlier I think it just depends bon the consistency of the food smooth or pureed I can eat more of but I can't eat the same amount with meats. Im still having trouble at times with eating slowly Foods that some said took them an hour I sometimes finish in half that time. -
I have been walking and doing the elliptical for 30min also. Sometimes id play my wii active game... I dont know what happened I lost my mojo lol. I haven't had the urge to go to thr gym yet either but eventually ill work my way up to that. ...I hope!
