I use cocoa butter for the skin and Carmex for my lips. I do a homemade body scrub that helps up the moisture and helps get the dry stuff off. And for hangnails burt's bees lemon butter cuticle cream it's amazing!

I had dry skin pre-op and it has only gotten worse. I use Palmer's gel oil, lotion, and Vaseline with Shea & Cocoa. I also notice that on the days I don't get my fluids in, it is much worse with added itching.

Yes, and it gets worse!! I got a Clairisonic face and body scrubber from Sephora. It's pricey at $225.00, but so incredibly worth it!! I use the body scrubber once a day in the shower and the face scrubber twice a day! It really does a wonderful job of exfoliating the dead skin off and keeping me silky smooth! As far add body washes, I use origins perfect weather wash for my face and neck. (I have really dry Patches and really oily t zone and it really balances me out! Add fat add body washes, I use the clarisonic refining skin polish, or a sugar scrub from victorias secret or bath and body works!! As far as moisturizers, fair my face I use the sephora brand oil free instant moisturizer, it doesn't make me feel greasy but really moisturizes me all day and night, on my neck, I use time arrest v zone neck cream by dr brandt from sephora, then I follow up with a thin layer of truth serum collagen booster from sephora. I've noticed a huge difference since I started adding the truth serum! I also do a honey-egg homemade mask every other night for twenty minutes and really keeps me soft! For body moisturizers, I switch it up everyday. I use cocoa butter at night and during the day, I use either Victoria secret body cream then put body lotion over that, or I use cream extreme buyer from bath and body then use a lotion on top of that! It takes time to do my daily and nightly lotioning, but it will be well worth it!!!

How about chapped lips? Mine are so bad I constantly have Chapstick on them![/quote']

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
