MY face

[realestwoman71 4]

I have noticed that my face has begun to break out. I was wondering if being banded has an effect on my skin and if anyone else is having his problem. Thanks

I didn't notice any breakouts, but I was kind of strangely sweaty for about 3 days after surgery. Were you? Could that contribute? Did you have skin troubles when you were younger? I KNOW! Maybe you're diet changes are flushing all the toxins out, including out your pores. That could happen right? I hope it goes away! Keep us posted!

I have found, in the past, that a switch from pure unhealthy eating to fresh foods and lots of Water leads to about a week of icky whiteheads. I'm no doctor, but I think that the poster above is correct. If you are flushing toxins, they'll leave any way they can, including through your face.

Don't go crazy with scrubbing, just keep at it with a gentle cleanser, and you can CAREFULLY pop whiteheads if your face and hands are clean.

This too shall pass.

I started to get the breakouts which I never get, in the two week low calorie pre-op diet. I agree with Holly- I think it is our bodies getting rid of all the toxins due to no longer eating all the junk. So even though it isn't fun, just think of it as a sign you are getting healthier. Mine cleared up and hasn't come back. So it will pass soon enough.

That's so funny you mentioned it, I just noticed I have bumps on my chin area and I have good skin (sorry for the ego but I do).

Try Proactive

I'm 36 and swear by the stuff even though I never had any real acne issues as I got older I got these weird ones so I tried it. It worked.

I wonder if it has something to do with the Protein levels we're consuming. My face feels like suede! I try to exfoliate and it still feels rough! I've always had decent skin. This is just wierd.
