So sorry you are having breakouts. You have a lot of hormone changes going on, and I've been told that our fat cells also hold on to a lot of toxins, and sometimes breakouts are how your body gets rid of those toxins (skin, urine, and waste are how your body eliminates toxins). As you are losing the fat, those toxins are being released in your body, and your body is eliminating them.

Continue to stay hydrated, and use a good face/body wash to keep the pores as clean as possible. It will eventually clear up. (I know it sucks in the meantime)

Thanks & yes it do suck & its itchy

Ugh, I have not even had the surgery. I swear, I am breaking out now worse than when I was a teenager. It is terrible. I think mine is the instant increase in protein intake? If it doesn't get better after surgery I am going to go to a dermatologist.
