Im 2 and half weeks post op and my face has broke out terribly in acne, and I have never had a break out not even during puberty or while on my monthly, I might get a occasional pimple or two but this I have is ridiculous, has this happened to anyone else and what did you use to clear it up ?

Yep, your fat is dumping all sorts of stored hormones into your blood stream...http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/351491-anyone-else-feeling-emotional/?hl=hormones#entry3959244

It's normal, it will pass.

I've heard that it happens to people occasionally due to the fluctuation of hormones. Don't stress and make sure to just drink your Water it will help flush out the toxins and keep your skin clear. Good luck!

how long has it been since your surgery and is it getting clearer and did your dermatologist prescribe you something?

      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.
