Did anybody else's skin clear up?

Ok I gotta be honest here. I've never been a Water drinker. And don't hate me but my surgeon only required a one day clear diet before surgery so I got to hang on to my sodas till 24 hours before surgery. But now that I'm 11 days out and I drink water all day I've noticed a huge improvement in my complexion. I was cursed with open pores and still at 41 would have the occasional breakout. I know it might not be a big deal but I've struggled with my skin my whole life. Also since giving up all the fried foods and junk I no longer have oily skin. I'm just so excited it's like an extra bonus.

I hung on to my diet cola until a few days prior too. Like you, my skin clearing up has been an extra that I didn't expect.

I, too, have the curse of the open pore. I'm a month out of surgery, and the comment I keep getting is how glowy my skin is. I always liked makeup before, but now I love playing with new looks. Yay for happy skin!!!

My skin LOVED the low fat/low carb preop diet. I had HUGE open pores on my nose, and they shrank to nothing!

But, I couldn't stick with low carb/low fat for long term. So I'm eating moderately low carb, moderate fat and my skin is better than before, but not as good as the preop diet. Guess I'll take it

That glow look may also be from taking Vitamins. Just how pregnant woman are glow. Vitamins do a lot. I am still hoping my skin clears up.

My skin started to clear up when I started eating low carb back in January. It is a great side effect😊
