Help! My face is falling!!!

My weight is sliding right off and I couldnt be happier but now so is my face! I mean its all wrinkly at the bottom and I don't know what to do. At first I thought time was catching up with me and I went out and bought like 4 anti aging products but these aren't wrinkles. Right around my mouth and jaw there is just skin and I don't know what to do to tone it up. My husband says he can't see it but I can and its bothering me to no end. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do about stopping this or making it go away? Is anyone else experiencing this?

If this has happened only since surgery, my first guess would be that it is a sign of dehydration (are you getting enough water in?). I'm not a doctor, but that's the first thing that popped into my head.

That could be it. I'm not getting enough liquids. Water has become my enemy. It hurts to drink and I upsets my stomach. I have tried Gatrorade,Powerade and Propel but they are way too sweet for me, even when I water them down. Anyone know of anything I might be able to handle? I'm afraid of what my doc is going to tell me next week for my one month post op check up. I watched this program called Medical Miracles or something like that and a woman had the same problems I did and ended up with dehydration so bad her brain started shrinking! So, needless to say I'm starting to go into panic mode wondering whats going on with me and why I can't handle liquids. And the cotton mouth in the morning is horrible. I never had it before but now I get it with a 30 minute nap!

I find things way too sweet myself, and have diluted Crystal Lite, decaf tea, water with fresh lemons or limes, SF popsicles, protein drinks made with water. I find using an 8 ounce kids sippy cup is easier on my around the house than a 32 or 64 oz huge container of water. It's all a mind game for me anyway! You really should call your doctor and discuss this inability to drink water because it hurts and makes you feel sick, it's too important for all your body functions not to have water or water-based liquids. I wouldn't wait until next week. As for facial exercises, I am using a thing called the Facial-Flex (purchased on qvc). I hope it works, no results yet, and make sure you use good moisturizers morning and night, and sunscreen or products with sunscreen on your face. Please let us know what your doc says and how you are doing. Inky

Uh oh. I think Gatorade, Powerade and Propel all have added sugar, so that might be why those upset your stomach. Crystal Light is good, but I'd stay away from the regular (yellow) lemonade because it has added sodium. Other than that, iced tea or iced herbal (fruity) teas are really good. I find plain water to feel a little heavy on my stomach myself, but Crystal Light has been a lifesaver. SF popsicles are a great suggestion too!! Good luck! Make sure to ask the doc.

I have the same problem with water but I can do herbal tea. Also tried Dansani flavored water and I was suprised it didn't put me in pain but I have to drink water extremely slow.

Well my hubby lost over a 100 lbs and his face was sagging big time on his face and i got him a book called Face Lifting By Exercise by Senta M. Runge Took some time but it did work for him .. I am doing it also and I did lose my double chin .. I am big time into anti aging person.. I was told that people who had the RNY go threw a ugly ducking stage due to rapid weight loss and the skin takes time to catch up with the weight loss where us lap banders r not dramatic in results and we lose maybe 8 lbs a month Be patient u r well on your way to become the new slimmer trimmer u .. MY hubby looks 10 years younger now in fact they call him the the new college hire LOL or they said he is going threw mid life crisis LOL they r all just jealious he is thin and they all are heavier than he is now .. his doc said oh good u gain some weight u r way to skinny and he looked at her and said what did u say .. she said u r to skinny words he never thought he would ever hear again be well LIsa I am proud of his weight loss but I am not as lucky yet and i think i am gonna feel every pound going off the hard way ... my weight loss is in inches not weight.. u think it would show on the scale but today i put my undies on and they were like 5 above my belly button LOL
