It may fade, but it won't go away completely. It depends on your genes, weight, skin-type, etc. There are creams and lotions that may help, but nothing is 100% proven.

It totally depends on your skin type. Unfortunately, I still have my cottage cheese thighs :rolleyes:

I've noticed that my legs had that cottage cheese look, until I started using my elliptical. For me it has really helped tone my legs. They are much smoother now than they were before. But as other said before me it will depend on how your own body works. Everyone is so different that one thing isn't going to work for everybody. But I really have found that exercise helps.

Probably not completely. I would wear a short skirt or dress with confidence as my problem area has shrunk. My legs are very toned from lots of running, but my bum is still very very wobbly and its dimply, the cellulite is just not on my thighs anymore. I cannot believe actually how flabby my backside is for the amount of exercise I do, the only thing that would fix it is surgery, and I'm just really not willing to consider a full body lift - too expensive, too horrible to recover from, scarring just as bad as the problem etc.

So I definitely have much less cellulite and flab, but I do still have it.

Well damn! That was one of the things I was so looking forward too was having my legs back!! When I was thin (but didn't know I was thin-psych issue) I did not have any dips, dimples, cellulite just smooth toned long legs & a tad bit on my backside, but now..... I know it's super super vain but I pray I get them back.

Somebody give me some hope, did anybody not have it b/f and it went away after...plz plz (fingers crossed)?!?!?

Water is suppose to help with cellulite. Rubbing your legs with lotion will help too. Like a massage to help break down the pockets. There is a cream made by Aveno that was on Oprah and another show a couple of weeks ago. They showed womens before and after... seemed to help.

I have had good results using these weight training videos. You can purchase dvd's that will target certain problems, i.e. cellulite, saggy skin. I have had good results but it is work.

They also say using a rolling pin on the problem area helps break up the fatty tissue so it will disolve and go away. I have actually had some luck with htis, mixed with diet and excercise. I dont' have a lot of the cellulite, even as large as I am, but you massage it, whether that is with a rolling pin or just rubbing lotion on, and it helps break it down.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
