Don't have this problem yet but don't doubt I will as I have very sensitive skin and lots of skin problems already. If you are in HRM I can recommend a great dermatologist. Dr. Robert Tremaine - he's at Gladstone Professional. Everyone I know who's ever been to him loves him. He's great.

Also keep in mind that the really high pro drinks have way more pro per serving than our body can absorb at one time. The most we can absorb at once is max 30 pro so anything more than that will your body will not be able to use.
cheers,

Congratulations. I am very happy to hear that you are doing so well.
I hope your other medical conditions come into line. That is the point of the surgery and from what I have read, it will give you what you need. And after all this time and work - deserve.

I just read your bio and you have certainly come down a long road. Hopefully by summer you will be out of that chair and on your way to better health! Only best wishes!

Well in life according to BMI charts I should weigh between 135-150 but like I said that will make me look far too thin. I weighed 213 last time the surgery team weighed me, and 209 at my docs 2 weeks before surgery. As of this morning I weigh 180, which is great. I find 165-180 is where I look best.
Most people, including my family doc, my surgeon *****moved my thyroid last summer, and nurses in the hospital did not think I needed this surgery. But in consult with the team I believed and continue to believe that I need the health benefits that come with this surgery. It was never so much about weight loss for me - was always about health. I'm in a wheelchair and am very limited in my ability to exercise. Dr. Ellsmere and my endo, Dr. Ransom who is also part of the team, agreed that this surgery would help bring my co-morbidities under control and give me a shot at a longer life.

Congratulations on your weight loss. You say you don't have much more weight to loose but I thought in order to have the surgery you need to loose at least 90 pounds depending on your BMI. Keep us posted on your progress and speedy recovery!
