Loose Skin Prevention/Hair Loss



Recommended Posts

Hey y'all!!! Newbie here! I'm 7 days post sleeve. Just wondering if anyone has any tips for preventing loose, saggy skin. supplements, exercises, undergarments, anything. I know it's to be expected. I'm looking to lose between 100-120lbs. I've had 2 babies so I already have my fair share of loose skin and would really like to prevent the need for post loss surgery (although I'm definitely not ruling it out). I'm naturally narrow waisted so I carry all over. Upper arms, thighs, lower abdomen, neck, back (EEK!!) OH!! hair loss! I know it's going to happen and it's to be expected. Anything I can do now to make it less dramatic? I have pretty thin hair as it is. Thanks for the help!

Biotin and Probiotics are key to reducing hairloss and helping with skin

I did tons of Biotin. I did Probiotics. I did collagen and Vitamin E and other creams. I did keratin. I did dry brushing. I did weight training and running. I got all my Protein in.

I still lost hair and had a ton of loose skin (but a body fat of 18%!)

It's genetics and age and skin type. Not a lot you can do.

      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.
