I have read several posts on acne post op due to our hormones going crazy. I have never had acne, not even in teen years do I just figured it wouldn't happen. WRONG! I feel like I'm a teenager. Had to buy my first acne treatment as I'm nearly 28. Lol. If thats the worst I will take it over being fat forever. Anyone else have it too? I'm 6 weeks post op...and just readdded birth control but that is supposed to help!

I am nearly 8 weeks post op and have had crazy acne since the surgery. I thought maybe it was because i quit taking the BCpill before surgery, but it doesn't seem like a normal monthly breakout to me at all. It's worse and constant.

Hope it is a phase and goes away?!?!? Gah!

I seem to get more pimples post-op now, especially around my period. I've always had a few pimples here and there, but now they come with vengeance at that TOM. I guess it's all those crazy hormones :/

      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.
