Yes I was just thing the same thing I have a area. On my leg that feels like sand paper I thought it was because my bathes are becoming hotter cause I'm always cold

I think it has a lot to do with the lack of fat in our diet.

I use Cera Ve every day and it definitely helps. Also important is to drink enough fluids.

I noticed in too. For me it was kind of a good thing all my acne went away :) I think we eat so much less nutrients and fats after surgery our skin is not producing as much oil to keep it moist. I bought nivea body wash that has oil and cream in it for showering. Hot Water will strip your skin of its oils. For my body after showering I use cocoa butter with Vitamin E by palmers, vaseline cocoa body gel oil, or eucerin cream they work well. Also drink lots of water. Eat fish and nuts.

Me too. I have spots of very dry skin on my arms that are all red and scaly. Even the Cera Ve doesn't seem to help. More Fluid makes sense, it's just sooo hard :-)

Yes!! Mine was driving me crazy then I recently went on another thread about lotions and tried one that was recommended. I'm using Palmers Cocoa Butter and it is awesome! My skin feels so soft, my dry Patches are going away and I've only been using it for 2 days now.

How about chapped lips? Mine are so bad I constantly have Chapstick on them!

Me too! They are cracked and dry. I feel like I have returned to junior high putting on lip gloss and complaining that I am "bloated" after eating an ounce of food.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
