I was just wondering if anyone has noticed an increase in dry skin since getting sleeved? I am 1 month out and began to notice early on that I have to use 2 to 3 times more lotion than I use to. I think it might be due to the severe decrease in the amount of water I drank daily (I use to drink about 3 gallons a day). Does anyone have any experience with this matter?

^{My Dr. told me to use Coconut Oil also because I was drying out on my back where the bra rubs and it hurt. I found that you can also buy it at a real}

^{good price at a TJ Maxx or Marshalls in the cooking section. It works really well.}

Oh I'm just 12 weeks out but the first couple months was awful dry skin. When I would take my clothes off dry skin would be all over them (black clothes) and dry skin would fly everywhere like dust or glitter in the air. I got Nivea 48 hour moisture (stole my daughter's extra bottle I got her as she suffers from severe dry winter skin) and it helped tremendously but like others have said now that I've got my food and water under control it seems to have subsided.
