I use cocoa butter for the skin and Carmex for my lips. I do a homemade body scrub that helps up the moisture and helps get the dry stuff off. And for hangnails burt's bees lemon butter cuticle cream it's amazing!

I had dry skin pre-op and it has only gotten worse. I use Palmer's gel oil, lotion, and Vaseline with Shea & Cocoa. I also notice that on the days I don't get my fluids in, it is much worse with added itching.

Yes, and it gets worse!! I got a Clairisonic face and body scrubber from Sephora. It's pricey at $225.00, but so incredibly worth it!! I use the body scrubber once a day in the shower and the face scrubber twice a day! It really does a wonderful job of exfoliating the dead skin off and keeping me silky smooth! As far add body washes, I use origins perfect weather wash for my face and neck. (I have really dry Patches and really oily t zone and it really balances me out! Add fat add body washes, I use the clarisonic refining skin polish, or a sugar scrub from victorias secret or bath and body works!! As far as moisturizers, fair my face I use the sephora brand oil free instant moisturizer, it doesn't make me feel greasy but really moisturizes me all day and night, on my neck, I use time arrest v zone neck cream by dr brandt from sephora, then I follow up with a thin layer of truth serum collagen booster from sephora. I've noticed a huge difference since I started adding the truth serum! I also do a honey-egg homemade mask every other night for twenty minutes and really keeps me soft! For body moisturizers, I switch it up everyday. I use cocoa butter at night and during the day, I use either Victoria secret body cream then put body lotion over that, or I use cream extreme buyer from bath and body then use a lotion on top of that! It takes time to do my daily and nightly lotioning, but it will be well worth it!!!

Yes!! Mine was driving me crazy then I recently went on another thread about lotions and tried one that was recommended. I'm using Palmers Cocoa Butter and it is awesome! My skin feels so soft' date=' my dry Patches are going away and I've only been using it for 2 days now.

How about chapped lips? Mine are so bad I constantly have Chapstick on them![/quote']

Clinique or mary Kay have really great lip exfoliating creams!!

      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.
