Anyone else have weird changes after surgery? I'm (basically) 27 years old, never had an issue with pimples or acne in my teen years. In the past 2 weeks I have had pimples popping up all over my face, mainly on my chin though. Anyone else experiencing this? Funny how for years it's pounded into our brains that fried foods cause pimples, now that I've completely stopped eating all the greasy stuff and bad stuff I get pimples. Haha!

It may be all the toxins coming out since we are not eating those greasy chocolaty foods....LOL yes I have had a few not many just 3 but they hurt and are annoyingly ugly

I had a few at first, and then my skin cleared up and is now better than it's been in years! They'll pass.

Yes, mostly whiteheads around my chin and some on my cheeks. I actually had a few on my abdomen, if that isn't weird. Nothing big or scarring though.

It's probably due to hormone fluctuations....... I didn't have this problem thankfully. It will clear up..... ;)

I'm less than 2 weeks post-op. My chin is breaking out like a deep fat fried teenager. Acne to the sides of the chin is generally linked to hormones, which makes sense -- considering the changing hormone levels, body distress, etc. going on.

I'm 36 and am broken out worse than when I was 14. In the span of 4 days, I've had 6 deep zits (the kind that just get big and red and never surface) pop up on my chin, and one on the little strip of skin between my nostrils.

This bites.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
