I had gastric bypass on December 18th and have found that my skin is too VERY dry. It helps if I get my 64 ounces of Water in . . . which is very hard for me.

HEY zedqueen

HAD MY BYPASS 12/24/14. I HAVE NOTICED MORE DRYNESS. THIS IS WHAT I HAVE DONE. I PUT HALF 100% ALOE juice & HALF Water I NEVER MEASURE & IT DEPENDS ON THE BOTTLE YOU'RE USING BUT MAYBE 1/2 TEASPOON ROSEMARY, LAVENDER, FRANKINCENSE & MYRRH OIL (I HAPPEN TO HAVE THESE ON HAND I MAKE A LOT OF THINGS LOL). shake IT UP AND I SPRAY BEFORE I PUT ON LOTION. IT HAS WORKED WONDERS FOR ME. I USE IT ON MY FACE TOO. I ALSO HAVE ECZEMA ON MY FEET & HANDS. I USE THAT SPRAY & THEN USE A BLEND THESE SAMES OILS WITH JOJOBA OIL BLENDED TOGETHER JUST THE OILS. IT HAS WORKED BETTER THAN ANYTHING THE DOCTORS HAVE EVER GIVEN ME. I BUY MY ALOE juice OR GEL AT Walmart OR WALGREENS, OILS ON EBAY. HOPE THIS HELPS.

ZEDQUEEN GIRL HOW YOU DOING. I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING YOU. I HAD MY SURGERY 12/24/14. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO POST YOUR LOST. LOVE IT YOU'D GET YOU TICKERS UP & RUNNING SO WE CAN JOIN CELEBRATING & REJOICING WITH YOU.

BE BLESSED

I use a script from Dr. that you get from behind the pharmacy called Eucerin. It's a thick, thick cream that goes very far. Cheap too!

      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!!
