Skin changes ???? rashes and pimples ????



Recommended Posts

I broke out in a rash on my neck and both sides of my torso. One large rash and one small on torso and small patch on neck. I also broke on with pimples !! Gross things are going on !! I did go to my PCP yesterday and he ruled out shingles & thinks it's irritation of some sort. He prescribed at topical lotion and I see him again on Thursday to follow up. Anyone else have odd skin issues ?

I did for the first 6 months post-op. Not the rash so much but the break outs, absolutely. That and my face just looked, "sunken". They say you release a lot of toxins\hormones with rapid fat loss so maybe that has something to do with the break outs. The sunkenness in my face improved as well over time. Probably partly natural reaction to rapid weight loss, me learning to better hydrate myself and eat better along with I had to get used to my new look. Things "re-arranged"some after the first year in maintenance.

      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.
