LeeLeeLosing 21 Posted April 16, 2012 Hi everyone. I am four weeks out and I am having a difficult time being disciplined when it comes to Protein, Vitamins, etc. Yesterday I noticed my lips and skin around my mouth were very dry. This morning I woke up with little tiny white blisters all around that area. I have fever blisters but these are different. Just wondering if I may be deficient in something and if anyone else had experienced this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi LeeLeeLosing You are only 4 weeks out, if your having soft foods, cottage cheese, yogurt,cheese - that will help your Protein intake. I don't know if you are still doing the Protein Shakes? some people continue to use them whenever - so that will help too. You must take your Vitamins religiously, this is what i do. I have one of those pill containers with the days of the week, am & pm - so i just put the vitamins in there proper slot. Helps me. As far as lips being really dry, i use to get that when i snored alot. Only comment on that. Blisters, can't really address that good luck kathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShapeShifter 64 Posted April 16, 2012 I don't know what is causing that, and I am pre-op, so no experience. But I do know that the amino acid L-Lysine helps to heal fever blisters - you can find it with the Vitamins at the grocery. It usually comes in a large tablet, though... so you may need to crush it. That said, you need to get your Water and Protein, young lady! Wishing you WELL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
