My skin is breaking-out like a b***h I am used to my skin being a bit funny as I have PCOS, but I have proper broken out in spots all over my chin and one on my cheek and it is insane! Did anyone else's skin do this?

I am on day 5 of my pre-op diet. Finding it much easier to manage now as everyone said!

One mistake I have made though is only ordering one flavour Soup I thought I would like, and it turns out that it just makes me gag now 🤢

My skin broke out right after my surgery! Omg. I am on week six postop and it is cleared up, but wow, it did not like the change.

Oh my gosh, you're almost there! Just over a week to go!

Are you allowed Tomato or butternut squash Soup? I found these blended with unflavored Protein were so much better than the powdered "soups."

My dietician said I am only allowed Meal Replacement stuff so that it has all the Vitamins & minerals I need in them, so no other Soups :( I am gonna have to grit my teeth with it I think!

Almost there for sure! I can't wait for it to be over haha

I broke out too, I think its because were eating better foods, drinking more Water that all the impurities are coming out of our skin. I def have better skin now and probably the best its looked in years! keep hope!

      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.
