Most likely you are detoxing and it's very common for people to detox through their skin. It will most likely go away on it's own soon.

My face broke out too after surgery and my friend told me to cut out everything with artificial sweetener (which I hadn't eaten/drank much of prior to surgery) and it worked!! Face cleared right up!! Now I use regular sugar (if any at all) instead of that over processed sugar. Who knew!

As you lose weight..Whatever toxins that you ate when you gained that weight were stored in your tissue. As the weight comes off the stored toxins are released through the pores of your skin, sweat and where ever else they can exit..lol

So through out your journey there will be times when you will experience things that you never did before, like breakouts of blemishes.....

You can try agave, maple Syrup or coconut sugar...All are natural... :)

      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.
