Tall Irishmom

I have been having problems with ACNE! I am 46 and never had skin problems and all of a sudden I have acne. I was banded 4/27/11, and have lost 81 pounds. Anyone else have a problem with their skin?

Hi Rae,Mary, and Dawn, I live in Largo, but grew up in N.Y. I was banded on 4/27/11 and pretty much been on my own, I would love someone to bounce things off on. -Eileen

I was banded in April, and so far have lost 51 lbs! I am just starting to fit into smaller clothes.I only wonder how tight these clothes were! Not too many people have noticed either. 50 pounds! But, I know,and I feel great! I haven't told many people, but if someone asks me how I did it, I will tell them. I am not ashamed. Its a long journey,be patient! The weight will come off, and your body will change!

OMG! I had my first real full last week. I was in pain, and couldn't eat ANYTHING for a week. I thought it was me! I did lose 13 lbs in 8 days,but, if I wanted to be bulimic I could have saved alot of money! Tonight was the first solid food I was able to eat in a week. I had it too easy for the 3 months after my surgery, I got used to eating anything I wanted, and reality hit me hard! LOL Now I see everything they told me before makes sense, no drinking anything before or after eating,no coffee, no bacon. It wont go through. This will stop me from eating too much, thats the point! ( I finally got it!)
