Me too but for me it is my hands. I'm drinking more than my share of Water but my fingers feel like I've dipped them in talc! I'm just increasing my lotion and rubbing cuticle oil on my fingertips!

Same here. I think a combination of winter + weight loss is causing it, but who knows. Try to find a good moisturizing lotion and use it after you shower before drying off.

That's happening to me too, but I really think it is the weather. If any you have not tried Burt's Bees, give it a try, it's the best for dry skin!

Same here....I always had dry skin in winter but this is ongoing :( I need to get a bottle of avon SOS bath oil and treat myself! I'm on my last bit of lavender massage oil.

I've had bouts of very, dry skin. For me, it was due to my thyroid levels being off. Very, dry skin can be a sign of low thyroid levels.

My skin always gets super dry in the winter. It does not help that I constantly washing my hands at work either. O learned last year that Vaseline works really well. I put it on at night and put gloves on my hands and socks on my feet works really well

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
