I'm definitely noticing a difference in my skin elasticity everywhere since the surgery. Any tips to prevent it from worsening? And how much Vitamin E are people taking? And favorite lotions? Thx!

I've been using Eucerin Q10 anti wrinkle sensitive skin on my face and neck and a Palmers Massage Lotion for stretch marks (with Vitamin E, collagen, elastin, Shea butter, and cocoa butter) on the rest of my body. My saggy cheeks, jowls, and and turkey neck have firmed up really well, as has most of the jiggly skin on my abdomen and arms. My butt and thighs and knees are another story. Super saggy and jiggly skin despite good muscle tone. But I was a lot bigger on the bottom to start with. I recently read that DMAE can help with skin firming, so I'm now using Source Naturals Skin External DMAE Firming Body Lotion from the waist down. Probably a gimmick, but who knows.

My boobs are a complete lost cause....went from a DD to an A/B cup and there's no firming those up! I don't plan on getting plastics, but I have read about thermage as a possible non-surgical option for firming skin. May check it out in a year or so after I finally stop losing and everything tightens up as much as it's going to. In the meantime, I've got the softest, smoothest saggy skin ever. ;)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
