Skin changes ???? rashes and pimples ????



Recommended Posts

I broke out in a rash on my neck and both sides of my torso. One large rash and one small on torso and small patch on neck. I also broke on with pimples !! Gross things are going on !! I did go to my PCP yesterday and he ruled out shingles & thinks it's irritation of some sort. He prescribed at topical lotion and I see him again on Thursday to follow up. Anyone else have odd skin issues ?

I did for the first 6 months post-op. Not the rash so much but the break outs, absolutely. That and my face just looked, "sunken". They say you release a lot of toxins\hormones with rapid fat loss so maybe that has something to do with the break outs. The sunkenness in my face improved as well over time. Probably partly natural reaction to rapid weight loss, me learning to better hydrate myself and eat better along with I had to get used to my new look. Things "re-arranged"some after the first year in maintenance.

      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! 😞
