I've never had the best skin but it's definitely been worse since surgery. AND I found out yesterday the prescription acne wash I use was discontinued!!!

As the fat in your belly melts it releases a ton of estrogen = acne.

This explains why I am having so much acne. When does this stop?

So odd. I've had acne as long as I can remember and mine cleared up almost instantly after surgery.

I'll have to mention this to my dermatologist. I am already on prescription for acne & rosaeca (sp?), but my bariatric dr told me not to take it bc it makes me throw up without food. The Derm was weaning me off of them, but maybe I should stay on them!!

      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.
