Yup! And I feel like my lips are always chapped lately, too. Though I do live in Antarctica aka the Michigan Tundra. Haha.

Hello all. I haven't been avoiding y'all, I've just been moving into a new place :)

As far as dry mouth, my lips are so dry... And my hands are. Very dry. I'm always putting lotion on. At first I thought it was from handling all of the cardboard boxes and newspaper to dishes and things in, but now I'm thinking I'm pretty dehydrated as my urine is very yellow.

As far as Constipation goes, I'm the opposite. Which doesn't help my dehydration issues.

My hands have been the driest i've ever had. I'm also really sure I'm really dehydrated as my pee is getting more yellow and less amounts every time I pee. I need more fluids. Probably why milk of magnesia hasn't been working for me no Fluid to get the poops out.

Need. More. Liquids. I

I too have really dry hands and arms, and lips too. I also have started having a radiating pain in my back between shoulders about 6-10 seconds after eating or drinking anything, even Water. I have to take a liquid antacid and gas x to get rid of the pain. Is that what reflux or heartburn is??? I've never had either pre surgery. My dr had prescribed me to take Prilosec daily for 3 myths after surgery but insurance denied it. I know they have it OTC too, but pharmacist said it was in a capsule and not to break it open and dissolve in water. So until, I can swallow the capsule, I cannot take that. I am seeing my dr on Friday...

The Prilosec OTC is not a capsule, you can actually crush it, the prescribed one is a capsule and that is the one you cant open. I am taking Prevacid and my insurance is covering it. Hope this help!!

The prilosec otc I've had had all been capsules.

I think Prevacid is what they have me in the hospital and you can let it sit under your tongue.

The brand name prilosec otc and the store brand I've gotten from walgreens are capsules. In fact, the walgreens brand capsule looks exactly like the ones in my prescription bottle.

Maybe there are different pills.< /p>

      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? 🤷‍♀️
