Recommended Posts

Has anyone used bio oil or any other products for stretch marks or scars?

It doesn't work. I got some bio oil from a conference I attended and decided to use it as recommended. Nothing. . . .so now I just use the rest that is left over for dry skin, which doesn't work all that well either. . . sorry. . . I'm just really glad it was free, but just because it didn't work for me, doesn't mean it won't work for you. . . good luck

My granddaughter has used it since the dat she found out she was pregnant. It has prevented stretch marks. As far as getting rid of ones that are already there, I am not sure if anything can do that!

what i am using, which have helped before with my stomach marks is a mixture of pure virgin olive oil with 100% pure and real Shea butter.. The Shea butter you can get at any beauty store it comes in a small 4oz tube and its clumpy, very solid dark gry in color n it smells good!.. just use any bottle n put the butter in the bottle n add as much olive oil to get a smooth consistancy, doenst matter if there are clumps u can just spread it over it.. stays in the whole. From the times i have used it in the past it has tremendously fade my stretch marks, you can only see them if u are literally bending unto my stomach...other than that i just started using it 6 days op .

My co-worker also used 100% shea butter and you can barely see her surgery scars so I think that's the direction I will go in. Thanks everyone for your responses.

Very helpful!

      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.
