Everything on me is starting to droop. I picked up the Jillian Michaels Kickboxing dvd and started 3 days ago. Hopefully it helps. I have a friend who had the surgery a year and a half ago and she said there are definitely times when your skin doesn't keep up with your weight loss. Hopefully it catches up!

I would definitely wait till you are healed up!! I use Palmers coco butter oil and something called Sexy Belly from a website called Carols Daughter.

I use Palmers firming butter all over my body. My incisions have healed except for one, which I do not even go near with lotion. Up to now Im happy with it in terms of price, smell, and texture but its to soon for me to testify on the firming part.

In addition to various rubs and lotions, exercises that work the core (abs, obliques, etc) can work as well. I know I have really picked up the pace the past year with my squats, planks and deadlifts at the gym and it has helped my torso a good bit. I've really not had any problem with loose skin. My belly was where I was expecting to have problems with it if I did, and I think that doing lifts that engage those various core muscle have really helped fill in my tummy and harden that part of my body a lot. I guess the other thing that really helps is being young and having skin that is elastic and bounces back easily....which I don't have age on my side. :wacko: So I'll just stick to the lifting.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
