Breaking Out



Recommended Posts

Since I have been sleeved my skin has been breaking out with more pimples etc..It also just feels "yucky" in general (for lack of a better word to describe it). I know this is because of all the hormones wreaking havoc in my body right now (don't even ask about the effect this has had on my TOM). My question is, what have others done to minimize the breakouts and make their skin feel soft and smooth?

Omg! I feel like a teenager again. :( It's crazy! I've been trying all kinds of face wash, nothing is helping. I'm at a loss. =/

It's allergy season everywhere. Do you take an antihistamine? Try a Zyrtec and see what happens. That's the stuff that generally doesn't make you drowsy.

Since you three are women, I'm guessing it might be the hormonal load of the shifting fat cells. Try Tea Tree Oil- based products.

Tea tree oil and regular chemical peels.

Kinda painful but so effective.

Neutrogena face scrub pads are the only thing that helps me.

Me too, I'm almost 4 months out and my face is broke out with 4 spots when I usually get maybe 1 at the most per month. I've been using baking soda. It's also not as oily so I don't know why it would break out more.

I love Simple products and I like Dermalogica daily micro scrub.

      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.
