Great skin 4 days out



Recommended Posts

​Hello Everyone,

I am only 4 days post op, but I can say that my skin looks amazing. Not just on my face, but on my body. The nurse even complimented me on my skin that made me smile even with all the pain. Prior to surgery I didn't have horrible skin, but it wasn't clear like it is now. I truely hope this stays! I'll give up some hair loss for clear skin! Has anyone else had something happen with their body that they were happy with after surgery (besides the weight loss)?

This is really refreshing to read! I have Pecos and even on the pill I have had issues keeping my skin clear. Something to look forward to!

I noticed how much clearer my skin was as soon as I looked in the mirror after my surgery!

Interesting. My skin actually freaked out after surgery. I was dry plus breakouts. I had to get a facial which helped.

My skin looked amazing for a few days after surgery! I just assumed that because I had been on a saline drip, I was just really well hydrated. 3 months post-op and it's awful now :(!

I have had a skin condition since I was two called keratosis pilaris and although it's not gone it has gotten substantially better since surgery. My thoughts on this are since surgery I dont eat simple carbs or wheat anymore so maybe some type of systemic sensitivity? Makes sense since it started around 2 years old. Also I dont really need foundation anymore.

      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.
