hi guys

so i was sleeved on 11/18/16 my surgery date weight was 243 and as of 1/22/17 i am down to 204 (i weight myself on Sundays LoL) i feel it has been a slow process and i believe i have hit many stalls because i am eating variety and more then before but i am grateful it hasn't been a bad one, my goal weight is to hit 160???? anyways i wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing very bad dry skin, i am on my hands (see pic) i am open to any advice....

Yep...I experienced that. It sucked! I ended up using the lotion from the hospital they sent me home with (more like oily vaseline and hated how greasy my hands felt) but it seemed to work. I also increased my fluid intake.

I a thick layer of Aquaphor then put on nitrile or latex gloves for a few hours. I also sleep with a humidifier to keep the air from being so dry in my bedroom during the winter.

I used coconut oil. Still do all over and even in my hair. Bought the big jar at costco.

Same here! I've been itchy all over, also.

I've been quite itchy myself. I'm using Shea butter & coconut oil on my body and Cetaphil on my face.

Nail polish remover is very drying.

I have slathered my hands in lotion, then covered them with cotton gloves to sleep. Worked well.

Good luck!

+1 more Water too...
