Prevent/treat saggy skin after surgery?



Recommended Posts

You can try "dry brushing." Google or check it out on YT.

Curvy_Goddess I have the same fear. Who wants extra skin? I've always worked out so hopefully my love for strength training will help.

Yea I've tried a lot. The only that's decent in almost everything is powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. Don't get me wrong in my opinion you can taste it but it's not bad AT ALL and they have some cool flavors. The premiere Protein shakes are good as well. You can also try Isopure but I didn't like it enough to drink it on a regular basis. I hope that helps!

I am concerned about saggy skin too. I think that all we can do is exercise, eat right and stay healthy! I will not go sleeveless for sure and I am going to camouflage as much as I can. My concern is that I plan on looking for a marriage partner in the next 1 to 2 years. This guy is really gonna have to love me...saggy skin and all! Im 53

      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.
