All the toxins that have been in your system are starting to come out through your pores. Every lb. Is letting go of toxins that were stored there.

Good thing really! Just do your usual facial treatments and it will soon get better. :)

RJ is correct! Before my surgery my skin was breaking out all over. Face, arms, shoulders, legs you name it. Toxins it is. Our bodies are in a world of hurt. This will clear up, keep forging ahead. All will be well.

I'm glad I found this because I thought I was losing my mind. I've NEVER had acne, but since the surgery I have this nasty outbreak on my shoulders that doesn't seem to clear up. I guess it would help if I would just leave it a lone (not picking the scab - yuck). I've been using the acne body wash, so it helps. I want it to dry up so the marks will fade. Before I didn't want to wear sleeveless because my arms were so big, now I'm self conscious because of the acne:(

Toxins, yes, but also hormones. There are a lot of hormones in your stored fat. During the fastest part of the fat burning process (first 3-6 mos) these hormones are being released quickly into your system, resulting in acne and emotional turmoil. We were warned of this effect during my pre op educational classes. It's temporary and will level off. :-)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
