Oooooo I love all these beauty tips! My new favorite is coconut oil. I was giving some to the dog on a treat and figured "what the heck?" and smeared it on my arms, legs, face. I'm a product junkie (when I die I hope heaven is a combo of a dog park and a Sephora) and have lots of creams and potions. Well don't you know my skin looked and felt better than ever with that Trader Joes coconut oil right out of the jar? Granted the dog kept trying to lick me for several minutes but it worked!! Keep the tips coming ladies!!!

awesome. I've heard great things about it. I will try that.
Dog park and Sephora, add a beach and that's a heaven I would love to be in.

I'm obsessed with products.

Ok ladies (and maybe gents?) I just got back from Walmart. I could not find the Nivea serum but I did find this firming cream. I will test it out and report by findings in a week. Gosh this is FUN!! post-77434-14629237512234_thumb.jpg

I love the way coconut oil makes my skin feel. I add a few drops of lavender essential oil and it smells wonderful.

That sounds like an awesome beauty hack. I'm going to try that. Oh yeah and did you all know old coffee grinds can be used to exfoliate your skin and reduce cellulite? ! Try it.

I did the coffe scrub yesterday and my skin is baby smooth with this spectacular glow. Seriously to die for. Definitely worth a try.

@@missjaded44 I was looking at the prep H, to try your suggestion, and found there are a few different types of that as well (I had no idea!). Anyhow, which one do you use?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
