So today I am 5 weeks post op. I have lost 25 pounds to date (including) pre op diet... The weight loss is slow but I don't mind that... My concern is I've noticed that the more weight I lose the darker my eyes get. They look like I have really bad bags under my eyes like I either did not sleep or I'm sick.. I look sickly!!! I get in all my protein which is 75 grams, sometimes I do more. I get in about 64 oz of liquids so why do I look like this??? Anybody have any suggestions or answers??

I have not heard of this before. I have surgery in a few weeks. hmm hope to see what others say. good luck to you on your continued weight loss. all the best!

Do you have seasonal allergies?

@ Bairwithme Thank you!!! Wish you all the best on your journey as well!!!

@@OutsideMatchInside No I have no allergies

Never experienced seasonal allergies neither

Do NOT worry about any of this.

Your body is going to go through so many changes as you lose all your excess weight.

And then when you're through losing weight, your body will still keep changing. Some say for as long as a year after you've started maintaining.

There were so many times during my weight loss phases when I thought I looked awful. And then things would settle down, and I'd look better. Then worse. Then better.

This is sort of like getting a new haircut -- you just have to wait and see how it's going to look through all its phases.

@@VSGAnn2014 I hope you're right... I wouldn't want to look like a raccoon for the rest of my days... LOL

Thank you!!!

I just asked because allergies will make dark circles under your eyes.

@@OutsideMatchInside never knew that... But I don't have any other symptoms
