Had anybody started using any skin firming creams or lotions? If so, has anybody had any success with them?

I use bio oil on my face and neck. It's supposed to help sagging skin but I'm honestly not sure it helps for me and I've been using it for two years. I will say I hardly ever have breakouts and it's great for flakey skin.

Nivea skin firming had good reviews so I bought that. For incision marks, a plastic surgeon I work with suggested HEB brand silicone sheets. I cut them up and use those. They do work.

In Texas we have a grocery store called HEB. I just got it in their band aid area. Check your local grocery in the same department. They look like a big band aid and I cut down according to the size of my incision site. I figured I would need Biooil or mederma for them but these work and are cheap. Mine were $9 for 28 sheets. I can cover all sites with almost 1 sheet

      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.
