I was intrigued by your mention of It Works body wrap. So' date=' I did a search for reviews. The best place to look is Amazon.com. Type this is the search box: It Works! Body Wraps. (1) Ultimate Body Applicators (Health and Beauty)

The reviews were eye opening, everything from 5 stars to 1 star. What was interesting is that 93 people gave it 1 star, but only 49 people gave it 5 stars. The discussion is very interesting, so I recommend reading the comments to get a good feel for it.

Some buyers got no results, others got fantastic results. So, I'd probably try it after some more research.

How much does it cost if you become a distributor? And do tell us your results, rootie3. Promise?[/quote']

I did the It works wraps. I used it on my arms, neck, stomach, and ankles. It did work it was wonderful for 2 days then it came back with a vengeance. I lost 2 inches around my arms and in 2 days I was 3 inches bigger.

I was sleeved on the 24th, had 2 tbsp of oatmeal today and 2 tbsp of ff yogurt. It was good! But my stomach is still very swollen and affects my breathing, as apparently I am a belly breather. Am excited about going in to have my staples out on May 2. I am a slow loser, and with all this swelling, I am sure I am not down much yet. Maybe after my post-surgery visit I will be better able to tell how it is going.

They use titanium staples to close ur stomach during the procedure. No big deal. They don't have to be removed either.

      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.
