Pre-Op Acne

[Kass 4]

I’m on Day 7 of my Pre-op liquid diet and about two days ago started breaking out on my face really bad. It hasn’t been this bad since puberty 😩 is this common? is it all the toxins being flushed out?

if so, Im thinking it’ll clear up soon. there’s only so much greasy toxins that can come out- i’ve been strictly only liquids and taking this whole process extremely serious. praying for the best!

You know, now that I think of it, I did have a bout of acne early on...though I think mine happened around the 1-2 month mark, lasted for a month or so (I remember because I have xmas pics to prove it, lol).

I can't really say what the reason behind it was, but the whole toxin/hormone release during rapid fat loss would make sense...

Congrats on your upcoming surgery, though!

Good Luck ❤️

That's interesting. I don't remember that. But like you said it could be toxins flushing out.

Try witch hazel over the counter and use it as an astringent. I have PCOS and break out in horrible hormonal acne monthly. It is the only thing that really helps me. I notice I get results just after 1 night use. Hope it works for you! And it’s really inexpensive!

that’s what i’m thinkin’ 🤷🏻‍♀️ it makes me a little self conscious but it’s okay- just reminding myself this is only temporary and part of a much bigger plan 😌

Thank you♥️♥️

On the bright side, since we’re all pandemic-ally holed up these days, you’ll be all cleared up by the time its all over ❤️

I think it would have been nice to do all my weight loss during lockdown/semi-lockdown, lol. I’m semi-bitter that Im smaller now with a bunch of cute clothes I can’t wear cuz i have nowhere to go. 😂

I’m 68, and I am 5 almost 6 weeks post surgery. I recently noticed that across my shoulders and over the edge of the tops of my arms has what I call “underground pimples”!! So you all think it’s out with the bad, and in with the good, eh? Hope you’re right, it feels terrible, almost like a rash it’s so bumpy. Not sore, just bumpy. Wow! At 68!

I think toxins & or hormones may be the culprits too. Fat stores a lot of stuff, like oestrogen, & as you lose the fat it’s released into your blood stream. Some women say they have cycles that are heavier, prolonged or more painful because of the flush of oestrogen into their bodies. I was menopausal so my hot flushes disappeared for a while - whoo hoo! Lol!

Good luck in your journey. The pimples now will be so worth it when you’ve lost your weight. 😁

update: i had my pre-op appointment today- doc said my breakout on face wouldn't be from my body releasing toxins but maybe anxiety or stress with the upcoming procedure 🤷🏻‍♀️ he offered me a script for some acne cream so i took that. i haven't been this broke out...idk ever lol! everything looks great he said- lost ten pounds since last wednesday and right on track. he even took a look at my liquid tracking in my notebook and 👌🏼 said i'm good to go. i have one more appt on friday with my surgeon and then my covid test. SURGERY ON WEDNESDAY!!!
