Lotion For Skin Toning...



Recommended Posts

I was reading in another thread that keeping your skin well-moisturized can possibly help lessen (not prevent) sagging skin. I'm all for trying anything to help - especially something that simple. I'm still pre-op but I'd like to get started with hydrating my skin now so it can be in the best shape possible for my post-surgery life.

Does anyone have any lotion/cream recommendations? Anything that you think worked really well for you?

Thanks!

The absolute best way to keep your skin moisturized is to keep hydrated. Drink lots of Water. As far as lotions my wife swears by maderma. I use utterly smooth/utter cream.

Try getting a cream with collagen. vaseline has one and so does St Ives. (Sp?). They are found in drug stores and are reasonably cheap. Lather it on all over. It will help temporarily prevent from sagging which might help stop the creation of more stretch marks.

And like OT said, drink, drink, drink. You must stay hydrated.

Anything with collagen. I use st ives skin renewing for my body and st ives timeless for my face. Both are inexpensive and have collagen elastin.

At first I didn't want to respond to this thread because I think that creams, potions, etc. do not help with skin sagging, moisturizing yes but tightening no. The only way to tighten skin (My opinion) is weight lifting and exercise. All other fixes are only short term. Good luck to you either way and if it makes you feel better or you think it is working for you then it works. :D:lol:

Meme, if people have really dry skin like me, lotions really do help. Granted, they are temporary fixes. And they do make the skin feel better and softer and sexier when glowing. :)

      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.
