itchy skin

[Sweet_Mia 61]

Hello,

I had my surgery July 30, and I lost 26 lbs I've lost some inches too. Since I started loosing weight and inches my body has been itching like crazy, I've been putting lotion, & baby oil it doesn't help. So my question is has anyone had, or is having the same problem if so can you let me know what you did to stop the itching. Thank you take care.

I use coconut oil. Got it at Ross Stores. That will help your skin. Hope this helps.

Do you take Omega 3 Fish Oil? At about 8 weeks post op my skin started itching like mad, especially on my arms. I doubled my Fish Oil intake (from 2,500 mg to 5,000), got some benedryl cream and it stopped itching.

I use a gel pack of Fish Oil called Coromega. Avail at GNC. One pack in the morning and one in the evening.

I had bad itching too. Using a body scrub in the shower with a wash cloth then cover yourself in cocoa butter or body butter after. Helped alot!
