Update 2months post op

Hey everyone,
I am doing good still no internet :-( I have lost about 40 lbs in 8 weeks and very happy :-) I weigh myself once a week sometimes less and i am so glad that i dont really care about the scale :-) I mean of course I am happy when i lose but I am also ok if i stall because i know i will lose sooner or later :-) I still strugle with my protein and was thinking about those Protein shots I mght try those. One question did anybody looked like a teenager again? I have pimpels all over my face lol I look like 13 years old :-) I figured its because of the hormone change but not sure ??
I booked my ticket to visit my family and friends in germany I am soooooo excited havent seen them in almost 2 years and I am suprised how they will react when they see me . y flight is on october 29 and i hope i will lose about 10 more lbs till then.
My family knows about my surgery.
Hope you all have a great weekend:-)

Acne after WLS is because of the hormone dump from the fat we lose. Not everyone gets it but many do...it will clear up but keeping your skin clean and hydrated will help.

Congrats on your 40 lbs !  That's awesome.  Enjoy your vacation - be sure you take with you your supplements, shaker bottle and protein.  Don't always count on getting the stuff you need there. 

Hey! Sounds like you're doing great! :  )

If the acne isn't hormones it could also be an indicator of low vitamin A and/or zinc. Take your vitamins!
