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!!!

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' date=' 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![/quote']

Clinique or mary Kay have really great lip exfoliating creams!!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
