The Underarm Question



Recommended Posts

So since I have lost so much weight I am having a hard time figuring out how to shave my underarms! You see, when I lift my arm, my underarm is very concave and it is hard to get the shaver in such a deep concave. Does anyone have any suggestions besides waxing?

Nair or Veet works pretty well.

shaving is a hit a miss, maybe you can tighten the skin in the armpit by pulling on the surrounding skin to get it tighter. :P

OMG I haven't been on here for MONTHS but logged in tonight to ask this SAME QUESTION!!!

My armpit too is SO concave.. I don't know what to do... its not an issue of loose skin, its that it's totally concave and the razor just doesn't fit in the tiny armpit, lol... thank you for sharing because I feel so much better now that I'm not weird! Honestly I just really haven't been shaving, but I thought about try finding the razors they sell in the summer time for the bikini area that are small... I don't know what else to do... really don't like the Nair stuff...

      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.
