Dryness

Has anyone experienced dry & cracking lips? For some reason my lips are starting to peel. I've never in my life had this before. I'm only getting in about 26 ounces of water. I no longer can drink as much as I used too. Can anyone give me some advice?

    Thanks NTW. I will try my best to get it end. I can't stand chapped lips. It's driving me crazy.

You are dehydrated. You've got to get more fluid in. My lips also crack when I don't get enough liquid in.

Yup, dehydration as @Ldyvenus said. My lips were really bad for my entire second month post-op. Once I started getting in at least 64oz of liquid per day it cleared up quickly.

I agree with everyone else, you appear to be dehydrated. Drink, drink, drink.
