Great skin 4 days out



Recommended Posts

​Hello Everyone,

I am only 4 days post op, but I can say that my skin looks amazing. Not just on my face, but on my body. The nurse even complimented me on my skin that made me smile even with all the pain. Prior to surgery I didn't have horrible skin, but it wasn't clear like it is now. I truely hope this stays! I'll give up some hair loss for clear skin! Has anyone else had something happen with their body that they were happy with after surgery (besides the weight loss)?

This is really refreshing to read! I have Pecos and even on the pill I have had issues keeping my skin clear. Something to look forward to!

I noticed how much clearer my skin was as soon as I looked in the mirror after my surgery!

Interesting. My skin actually freaked out after surgery. I was dry plus breakouts. I had to get a facial which helped.

My skin looked amazing for a few days after surgery! I just assumed that because I had been on a saline drip, I was just really well hydrated. 3 months post-op and it's awful now :(!

I have had a skin condition since I was two called keratosis pilaris and although it's not gone it has gotten substantially better since surgery. My thoughts on this are since surgery I dont eat simple carbs or wheat anymore so maybe some type of systemic sensitivity? Makes sense since it started around 2 years old. Also I dont really need foundation anymore.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
