This may have been covered here before, but I can't find it. Has anyone used the It Works body wraps after surgery? Do you feel they helped? What areas did you use them on? Pics would be great to.

Totally temporary..waste if money...worth it if you want to fit into a special outfit for a night, but otherwise, don't bother.. We researched this a few months back.

I was wondering about the loose skin too, but I don't want to waist money on something that doesn't really work anyway.

Be careful with the perpetration H thing. They were talking about it at work and one of the doctors said not to do it, it can cause some really horrible rashes and bacterial infections.

They do not help with loose skin. They are completely temporary as mentioned about but there is absolutely no magic fix for loose skin other than surgical repair. Darnit, I really wish there was.

Please share the tips with us, too! Not all of us are lucky enough to learn from a pro. :-)

      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.
