Hey everyone!

I have a really odd question ...

Has anyone gotten more pimples in odd places since your surgery?

I've been getting them on my arms! Isn't that strange ?!

And they last a while too ... Just unsure why now?

Any info ? Any advice ?

Thanks Guys!

I got a really rough patch of lizard skin on my shins and upper arms. It finally went away.

If anything, I've had drier skin post-surgery.

I have been thinking this for weeks! I just assumed it was me. I am getting them on my arms, my sides, and the occasional one on my face.

The whiteheads are what I am seeing the most of right now on my arms. I have resorted to using my wife's scrunchy/loofa thing on my arms. Bizarre.

      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?

      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.
