Hi everyone. I am four weeks out and I am having a difficult time being disciplined when it comes to protein, vitamins,etc. Yesterday I noticed my lips and skin around my mouth were very dry. This morning I woke up with little tiny white blisters all around that area. I have fever blisters but these are different. Just wondering if I may be deficient in something and if anyone else had experienced this?

Hi LeeLeeLosing

You are only 4 weeks out, if your having soft foods, cottage cheese, yogurt,cheese - that will help your protein intake. I don't know if you are still doing the Protein Shakes? some people continue to use them whenever - so that will help too.

You must take your vitamins religiously, this is what i do. I have one of those pill containers with the days of the week, am & pm - so i just put the vitamins in there proper slot. Helps me.

As far as lips being really dry, i use to get that when i snored alot. Only comment on that.

Blisters, can't really address that

good luck

I don't know what is causing that, and I am pre-op, so no experience. But I do know that the amino acid L-Lysine helps to heal fever blisters - you can find it with the Vitamins at the grocery. It usually comes in a large tablet, though... so you may need to crush it.

That said, you need to get your Water and Protein, young lady!

Wishing you WELL!
