Dry skin

[prettychica13 39]

I anyone else experiencing drier than normal skin after surgery? I swear I have to slather on lotion everyday two or three times a day. I fell asleep last night without any lotion and I woke up itchy and with sand paper skin. When I lotioned up this morning I could literally hear my skin slurping up the lotion. Am I going a little nuts?

Yes, it's normal. Any time you lose a lot if weight, you have to stay all the more hydrated. Water, water water...

Do you have any issues drinking plain water? I love plain water but since I became post op I get nauseated by it. I'm quite tired of only drinking tea...
