I have read several posts on acne post op due to our hormones going crazy. I have never had acne, not even in teen years do I just figured it wouldn't happen. WRONG! I feel like I'm a teenager. Had to buy my first acne treatment as I'm nearly 28. Lol. If thats the worst I will take it over being fat forever. Anyone else have it too? I'm 6 weeks post op...and just readdded birth control but that is supposed to help!

I am nearly 8 weeks post op and have had crazy acne since the surgery. I thought maybe it was because i quit taking the BCpill before surgery, but it doesn't seem like a normal monthly breakout to me at all. It's worse and constant.

Hope it is a phase and goes away?!?!? Gah!

I seem to get more pimples post-op now, especially around my period. I've always had a few pimples here and there, but now they come with vengeance at that TOM. I guess it's all those crazy hormones :/

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
