Me to! I was talking to my husband this morning about how my skin is so clear. I'm super excited to see myself transform, there is no feeling like it! Good luck to you on your journey!

Yay! Something else to look forward to. I wonder if lots of Water and simple, "pure" foods are part of the reason. Anyone know the real reason why?

I think it could be due to number of factors - the amount of hydration we are gettting - I used to be one of those that just drank coffee all day with milk and sugar. Now, no sugar, limited dairy cept for hard cheeses, more walking, fresh, I quit smoking after a pack a day habit that lasted 28 years, simple meals, very rare for us to eat processed foods now, recuperating forces us to rest a bit. all of the supplements - hah the list could go on and on. My skin is clear but hope my new turkey neck starts to shrink lol.

And last but not least happiness and hope at finally being able to shed some stubborn weight makes me glow most days now :)

Dont be suprised if that changes. My skin was great until a few weeks after surgery. Then got very oily and had a lot of breakouts. It lasted 2-3 weeks then it was back to normal.

I believe it's because we're eating a healthier diet, drinking more Water and not taking in a toxic substance called sugar. Sugar is toxic and attacks our organs in so many different ways. I love eating healthy most days and I have so much more energy. my skin is clear, but I do have some lose skin that i don't like. It's like a muffin top! Yuck! But it's better than having 77 lbs back on! :)

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
