I am 8 weeks out and my face has been breaking out like crazy. I am not sure what is causing it. I periodically have a zit here or there, but not so many at once since I was in High School. I thought that since I have been eating so good that I woudln't experience breakouts ever again. Has anyone else been breaking out? If so, what have you done for it. I have been using that Proactive stuff for 2 weeks, but no relief yet... I have about 5 cleansers that I usually 2 x a day. Help! Carla

Hi Carla, Breakouts are normal. You are changing your eating habbits and nutritional intake, so your skin is getting rid of the impurities. DO NOT use too much cleanser on your face, it will eventually dry out your skin and you will not like that. It does go away. I had acne since I was 21. Now it's just one pimple or two every once in a GREAT WHILE. It will go away. Dont freat! Erin 292/219/130

Um, I actually noticed my face over all clearing up, not getting worse. But then I also noticed that with more regular periods post-surgery (I've got PCOS) that my PMS symptoms like cramps and light breakouts were more pronounced. I wouldn't worry too much, the first 6 months out from surgery everything i**** or miss and stuff changes all the time. In three months you might be all clear!
