Is there anyone who knows of a good cream or maybe some exercises to tone your neck? Since I have lost weight and some of my chins I have very pronounced lines in my neck. Totally a vanity thing because I feel great and am not complaining just wondering. Or did anyone else have this and did it go away?

I use Bare Minerals Extra Firming Neck Cream -- it doesn't reduce the amount of skin, but it does firm it up and I don't feel like such a turkey neck. I hope it continues to work as I continue to lose!

I am finding some success in massaging the neck as I lose weight, kinda to keep ahead of the loose skin. So every morning, when I apply my Cerave cream, I really work in in, vigorously massaging, to stimulate the area. I have really noticed it firming up, following the line of the neck. That cream is FANTASTIC, and I am 53 years old, so my skin is in the "rapidly aging" category. The cream seems to reduce the crepe-y-ness, also. Good luck to you!

I love the CeraVe PM too. It has hyaluronic acid, niacinamides, and ceramides which are supposed to be great for plumping, retaining moisture, and anti-aging. I use it on my the back of my hands. I like Coconut oil too.

I want to try the Bio Oil. I cant seem to keep enough moisture in my hands... they are my problem area right now from sun damage and age.

Have you tried the Cerave cream (in the big tub) for your hands, as well? I find it more economical and SERIOUSLY AWESOME for my hands, elbows... I get mine at Walmart, because I am (as my husbands says) FRUGAL! Not cheap, FRUGAL! The only problem - and I'm snot sure it's really a problem - is it tends to "slide" off when I get my hands wet. But even after I dry my hands, they are still moisturized, without re-applying! LOVE this stuff! I even use the heavy cream on my face A.) when I am strictly in the house during the day. B.) at night before bed. Nothing else compares to the level of moisturizing, that I've tried. Did I say I LOVE THIS STUFF?!

I will look for it on my next trip to Walmart! I might as well start slathering down any areas that I think will need some help as this weight comes off. It cant hurt to have supple moisturized excess skin :P

I think the best part of the cream is that at the end of the day (after applying it in the morning), it is still very noticeably on my face and neck! The skin is soft, not in the slightest bit greasy, and I have yet to break out with it. And this is from someone who can't wear make-up because of sensitivities, and MAJOR breakouts! Since it appears to be water-based, it is very easy to wash off, which, to me, is remarkable because of it's longevity throughout the day. Stock up! Once the word is out on this stuff, it's going to be hard to find! Have a great evening.....

      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.
