I'm a man and don't shave my underarms. However, I have noticed that they are like deep holes after losing weight, and it's challenging to apply anti-perspirant.

You could always use hair removal cream

Anyone else have this problem? I can't reach my under arm hair with a razor anymore. I've lost so much weight that my armpit is in a valley, and I can't reach all the hair. Razor is too big. Any suggestions?

Struggling with this, too! I am able to pull the skin taut enough to get it all, but it takes some effort. I'd like to pursue laser hair removal in the future. I hadn't considered hair removal cream, but that might be a good plan for the interim!

I once used hair removal cream under my arms and I got a reaction that was pretty bad. It was burned skin and felt awful.

If you want to try the cream, maybe get the kind that is for faces which may be more gentle. I sued the leg kind and it was rough!

Men should not shave their armpits. Shaving armpits is an hygenic ritual that only women should practice. Women's armpit follacles are much more sensitive to hair and therefore the regular practice of removing underarm hair is much more healthy for women to practice. Women should also remove mustache, torso and leg hair for this simple reason too.

      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.
