Hey Cammie!

I had an appointment with my surgeon yesterday...I'm 19 days post

op...had lower and genio...and I had been breaking out really bad on

my chin and asked my doctor why. He said " its your diet " and I

asked him what he meant and told him that I was only having soups,

yogurt, boost, stuff like that. He said the Boost will do it to you

everytime. I asked him why and he said " all the calories in it

makes you break out " I asked him if I should stop drinking it and

he said " no, drink as much as you want, it will help the healing "

then he prescribed me some tricycline (sp??) a 30 day supply...I

take 1 pill every night. He said that it should clear up within a

week. So thats why we break out.....BOOST....who wouldv't thought?

that is pretty odd, i mean unless u had like NO sugar in ur diet

preop . cause i mean boost is full of sugar but not that much.. and

odd ud break out on ur chin where u had surgery.. did u break out in

that zone before? i thought it had something to do with the

steroids.. were u on them? i wasnt on them and at day 13 im not

breaking out or anything and i drink like 4 boosts a day and

chocolate milkshakes and tons of sugar.. wierd though

I didn't break out before surgery, and it started up right around 13-

14 days so watch out! I didnt have any steriods either. yeah I

thought it was pretty wierd that I broke out where I had the surgery

done too. Doc said that it wasnt the sugar making me break out but

all the extra calories. So I guess my body got rid of the extra

calories through my zits?? LOL

Well, that's interesting. I didn't use much Boost, nor Ensure, and I

didn't get the zits, it's true. (I used mostly yogurt and soups). But

I have had recent experience with someone who needed Boost and Ensure

exclusively for about two months, and the zits were not a problem. At

least so far. Maybe it's just a matter of your metabolism and skin to

start out with... Or maybe it's all luck.
