For me it is actually the opposite. My skin looks clearer and fresher because I am eating so clean. Remember to moisturize, moisturize and moisturize!!

Mixed bag here, skin is clearer and my eczema is gone and most all the acne too, although I have a bit of a turkey neck and look a little haggard sometimes. It's hard to tell what is from the weight loss, natural process of age - as it's been 2 years since I've had the operation, and exposure to the sun as I've been outdoors more post-op then I have EVERY been in my entire life, started bicycling in earnest this past spring.

Regardless, I'd rather look like I do now and be thin then still be fat and laying around on a couch a pasty faced acne ridden slob covered in eczema :)

As far a beauty secrets, I have none. See a cosmetologist and treat yourself to a makeover. And if they can't help see a plastic surgeon and treat yourself to a face lift for a job well done on the weight loss.

I am a fan of Clinique Moisture Surge on my face and neck. Expensive, but a little goes a long way.

Me, too. And they have some great firming potions too. None are cheap. All are worth it.

I use Retin-A and it is a prescription but cheaper than most of the moisturizers. A tube costs me $60 and lasts a year.

Fillers and Botox work wonders..

I agree with you 100 % ,creams no matter how much you pay will not cover creases ,or wrinkles ,bio fold lines on your face ,sorry ! You will need to go see a dematologist for fillers. Juverderm plus works very well . Many people loose a lot of weight then their face begins to look haggard and wrinkled , when this happens you definnetly need fillers. I never used the Botox because of my age , im not a candidate as of yet. however if someday I need to I will use it as well.

      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.
