Is anyone else shedding skin, first it was my face, now my feet and stomach and arms. I feel like I am growing a new skin. Am I a snake?

That's one I've never heard of before. Are you getting in enough Water? How far post-op are you? If you're not getting in enough water, that could be causing you to peel. I know that I'm pouring lotion and oil on my skin these days, so maybe you need to ramp up the lotion to prevent the peeling?

I am not sure on the Water. I will try both. More water and lotion.

YES! My face and neck started peeling and getting flaky for about 2 weeks it was horrible. This just happened a few weeks ago and it's back to normal now. It was painful I couldn't even put lotion on my face because it burned. I used Vitamin e oil it made such a difference. I think I wasn't getting enough Water in and that's what caused it so I make sure I get enough now. More than 64 oz.

I am 3 months post op now. So a little further out than you. Hope this helps.
