Me too but for me it is my hands. I'm drinking more than my share of Water but my fingers feel like I've dipped them in talc! I'm just increasing my lotion and rubbing cuticle oil on my fingertips!

Same here. I think a combination of winter + weight loss is causing it, but who knows. Try to find a good moisturizing lotion and use it after you shower before drying off.

That's happening to me too, but I really think it is the weather. If any you have not tried Burt's Bees, give it a try, it's the best for dry skin!

Same here....I always had dry skin in winter but this is ongoing :( I need to get a bottle of avon SOS bath oil and treat myself! I'm on my last bit of lavender massage oil.

I've had bouts of very, dry skin. For me, it was due to my thyroid levels being off. Very, dry skin can be a sign of low thyroid levels.

My skin always gets super dry in the winter. It does not help that I constantly washing my hands at work either. O learned last year that Vaseline works really well. I put it on at night and put gloves on my hands and socks on my feet works really well

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
