You can make your own with Preparation H and saran wrap. Basically, it's a topical caffeine that will reduce the Water in the area you wrap. The effect lasts a few days unless you drink a shit-ton of Water (as you should be) and then you will plump right back out.

Body wraps are a pyramid scheme. All you lose is Water, not fat. Rub yourself down in some coconut oil and wrap yourself up and you'll get the same result. Don't waste your money.

Not all wraps are Water weight loss. I used to use body wraps before I started on this journey and I plan to go back to them once I start to lose. The ones I used don't boast weight loss and it is suggested you drink lots of water while you wrap.

@@laurenella82 What types of body wraps were you getting? Did they involve caffeine? I like the idea of wraps if they don't sap my body of moisture or introduce caffeine...

I have to look it up to see if it has caffeine but I don't think it does. It's all natural. Check out myitworks.com. they are a little expensive but to me they are worth it.

I don't want them for weight loss but have a friend that was sleeved a few years ago and said body wraps are good for loose skin...I was just really wanting opinions on what works or helps. My skin is very dry after surgery and I put lotion on several times a day.

I saw a post on pinterest of a lady who used the wraps and defining gel by itworks to help with loose skin. She loved it! And it doesn't dry you out at all.

      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.
