Has anyone else have/had experienced breaking out? I never had acne like this before the surgery so I'm curious if anyone else went through this or is going through this. I'm almost 2 months out to give you a time frame...

Thanks for anyone's input :)

Your body has gone through so many changes recently. It would make complete sense. I know my skin has been super dry. It's weird. I have been slathering cream for the last week. I'm just making sure to get as much Water as I can in and still working on getting these Vitamins in.

Me too! I was so happy to see this post, so I know it's not just me! I ordered 3 of my regular face creams and each one of them broke me out immediately. My friend who is in the skincare industry said something like my chemistry has changed due to the surgery. So I am in the process of trying to find a new skincare line. In the meantime my friends that were always mad at me when we were young because I never broke out can enjoy my adult onset of acne! lol

@@TXMissy yea im def keeping up my Vitamins i just think its crazy that with the amount of Water and no soda (thats when i use to get a pimple here or there) that my face has done this but then again major surgery i guess can do that with the amount of changes our bodies are going through. how far out are u?

@@SMBFLORIDA HAHAHA i totally feel the same way about the never breaking out when younger! I see we had surgery around the same time..how are you doing?

Estrogen is stored in fat, so as your body breaks it down large estrogen stores are released into the body. This is why theris often PMS type episodes, depression, sore nipples, acne, as well as nearly all the fun side effects of being preggo without the baby. :)

The good news is it doesn't last long and the best thing you can do is drink, drink, drink your water!

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

      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! 😞
