I noticed today my palms and finger tips have become very wrinkled like my hands have been soaking in water. What is that about? Is that from the weight loss? Or could it be dehydration?

Now that you mention it, I notice it too! I never made the connection of the weight loss and this but it has never happened before- I am three months out. How far are you?

I am almost 6 weeks out. Its so strange, I looked down at them today and thought "what happened to my hands" lol

I think we have old people hands syndrome. I don't know if it's dehydration or if it's because we are losing cushion under the skin. I just know my hands aged 10 years in the first few weeks.

That really stinks! I've always liked my hands.

It's dehydration. I noticed it 3 months out but I wast getting my fluids in. Got my fluids up and hands are pretty again.

I'm getting 64 oz usually but I have been feeling lately it's not enough. I'm gonna try to get more in and see what happens...

This happened to me a couple weeks ago. They seem to be better now, but I must have been dehydrated when it happened. I was drinking 120+ oz a day, so am not exactly sure how it happened. 5.5 months out.

Not only dehydration but electrolytes too. Plain Water doesn't always work so some sugar free Gatorade or sugar free Power aide to make sure you aren't just flushing.

Ah, all of the little details of losing weight.

Yes, I believe that is correct regarding electrolytes. I switched from drinking mio flavored water to propel flavored water (lots of electrolytes) and feel much better now. Fingers look like I am back to my age again instead of 85. Propel tastes better (to me) and tends to be much cheaper than mio.

That was also the time I started taking chia seeds daily (morning and evening) so my body was probably just getting used to the dehydrating effects of it. Thanks for the tip on electrolytes.
