Boom! That's what I'm talking about! Even if it doesn't work or help, I'll know without a shadow of a doubt, that I did everything I could to help alleviate the issue. I'm going to look into that Jergens lotion. Thanks! I've had two kids and my skin bounced back each time, with minimal stretch marks, so I'm hoping that all will be well. Putting out positive vibes for little to no skin sag! It sounds like your skin has great elasticity if it bounced back well after your pregnancies, that's awesome! You're lucky and have good genes positive vibes though and fingers crossed! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

I don't know if it's going to help because I have 5 billion stretch marks but I'm going to dry brush my entire body before the shower, use Jergens Skin Firming Toning Moisturizer (I've read good things from other sleevers about that lotion), workout, make sure I stay well hydrated, meet my daily Protein intake and take all my Vitamins. I think it will help at least and if it doesn't I'll know I did everything possible lol. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

@@Sabzy I'm going in on 4/12 too!

@@ange117 How does unjury taste? I never heard of it until I started the surgery process about 8 months ago.

I'm on Optifast which is prescribed by my dr but there are many comparable shakes over the counter with high protein low carb/calorie. I've heard good things about Isopure.

That's awesome! At least I know I'm not doing this alone!! That makes it easier Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

Haha, I didn't think of it that way. I will be using my time away to catch up on over 2 years of sleep Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

It's been hard (tempted to cheat every day lol) but it's been worth it so far. I've lost 7lbs since Monday. The first week is always the hardest and the highest weight loss. How are you doing? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

Scheduled for April 12th in Pittsburgh. We live in Philly though. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

My surgery date is April 12th, I'm on my 5th day of Optifast. Nothing outside of 5 shakes a day, no caffiene, and tons of Water. I wasn't nervous about having surgery until I had my date and now I am. Plus, I'm having my surgery in another city and I'm going alone because we have a toddler and it is just easier for everyone. I don't know if I'll be more worried for surgery or my Husband juggling work and a 2 year old for a week lol. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App
