Most likely you are detoxing and it's very common for people to detox through their skin. It will most likely go away on it's own soon.

My face broke out too after surgery and my friend told me to cut out everything with artificial sweetener (which I hadn't eaten/drank much of prior to surgery) and it worked!! Face cleared right up!! Now I use regular sugar (if any at all) instead of that over processed sugar. Who knew!

As you lose weight..Whatever toxins that you ate when you gained that weight were stored in your tissue. As the weight comes off the stored toxins are released through the pores of your skin, sweat and where ever else they can exit..lol

So through out your journey there will be times when you will experience things that you never did before, like breakouts of blemishes.....

You can try agave, maple Syrup or coconut sugar...All are natural... :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
