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. :-)

      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.
