My holy grail product for DRY skin!



Recommended Posts

My dermatologist told me to use Eucerin moisturizer and that has saved my life! Someone asked about lotions that tighten and firm? I'm using Nivea's coq10 firming lotion and Dollar trees coca butter with elastin. I've been doing those two on my breast's and stomach and inner thighs where I have the most loose skin and stretch marks for a week now and I've already begun to notice a huge difference!!

I am still pre op and have my surgery next month, so I'm trying to get on the roll early.

Also, another great item for dry skin and stretch marks is Vitamin E ointment from GNC. It contains pure Vitamin E, Wheat Germ, and Aloe Vera and it works great. And none of these items I mentioned above have a weird smell.

Thanks for the CeraVe recommendation- I will definitely check it out! I'm always looking for a good moisturizer. My whole body tends to get dry and itchy during the winter. Yuck.

I use "Vivite Replenish Hydrating Cream" on my face. It is amazing! I used to have super-dry, flaky skin on my face nothing seemed to touch. My dermatologist recommended the Vivite, and my face is now completely different- so smooth and healthy-looking. I can almost feel my skin cells sucking in the moisture when I put it on. The directions say to use it along with your regular moisturizer, but it is all I use on my face. It is a bit pricy (I get mine on Amazon for about 1/2 the price my dermatologist sells it for), but one little tub of it lasts me about 6 months.

I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT NIVEA EXTENDED MOISTURE - 48 HOUR - IS AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING LOTION THAT I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR FOR OVER A DECADE. IT'S THE ONLY THING THAT ACTUALLY WORKS AND KEEPS WORKING.

TRY IT!

      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.
