I read somewhere that a high Protein diet can give you zits. I'm dang near 60 and am having some zits on chin and neck - something I've not had in decades!!

I am also having this problem. I am 47 and NEVER had zits before in my life. Yes, I was at least blessed with clear skin. Can't say that now. Mine are not huge or very sore, but still. I figured it was due to the change that my whole system is going through. Hang in there and hope they get better soon.

I'm not afraid to admit, I am vain and reading about the zits plus the Hair loss has me freaking. I called off school in high school because of a zit before. I've been blessed with an extremely clear complexion and oh boy, this is a complication that I really hope passes me up.

I went through the same problem! It was awful. Mine cleared up on it's own around the 1.5-2 month post op mark. Hopefully thats the case for you as well.

Went through Same thing...am now on minocycline antibiotics daily and it cleared up. I have always battled with acne, it was better and now it is back.

I broke out very badly starting about 2 weeks post-op and lasting about 2 weeks. My skin is normally clear, but at one point I had about 17 zits on my chin alone.

It's hormonal (in my case). Chin acne is often related to hormones, and especially in the first handful of weeks our bodies are going through hormone hell.

      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.
