Anyone trying any home remedies for tightening loose skin.. Ha... Given up on the husband winning the lottery so I can have p,attic surgery.. Trying the old egg white on e face and neck.. I must admit as its drying it does feel tighter lol.. Even put it on my upper arms. Wonder how many eggs it would take for my whole body :-(

Well on the fish oil issue you can break those open and spread it on food. That la what I do for my dogs.

My remedy has been good ole hard work in the gym. It has taken care of a lot of loose skin. It has not taken care of my boobs however. Although I am fairly certain egg whites and fish oil can not help them either! Only a surgeon or support bras can help them. They have officially gone south for the winter and it is still summer here in Texas!

I'm 48, and I breastfed twins for over a year....the girls are a lost cause. Thankfully, my husband just want me to get healthy.

I spoke to several surgeon and they all said no e exercise or miracle cream will get your skin back to how it was and who ever said it will its a liar. The only option is plastic surgery.

I will however attempt to go back to exercise simply cuz I know I will feel good inside. Kids will be in school so I have all the time in the world to maybe attempt something with my arms. Saggy will be there but maybe a little muscle won't be a bad idea after all.

I was told to take fish oil because it helps with skins elasticity.

I don't know if it's the same, similar, or totally different but check out krill oil. The capsules are pretty small.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
