This may sound like a odd question but after the surgery has anyone gone through a phase or anything where your skin sheds. Like my palms and some other places are shedding as if I've had sun burn and the skin just flakes off.

Right after surgery when I was struggling with Water intake, my skin was really dry and it flaked some. I had the same issue in the winter. I wasn't dehydrated though. My skin was going through a lot of changes. It stopped around 6 months.

I haven't had problems in those areas, but I developed a form of psoriasis over my left eye a few months post-surgery. I don't think it's related to the surgery itself, though. My dermatologist told me it was due to makeup and skin care products causing an irritation. He prescribed a very mild steroid ointment, and it helps. The flakiness has come back several times, but I just apply a dab and it goes away in a day or thereabouts.

You haven't mentioned the other areas where you've having the shedding, but I wonder if something you're putting on your hands is causing the problem on your palms. Hand sanitizers and antibacterial soap can be harsh on your skin. You might want to try using a very mild, fragrance free hand soap at home, and then apply something like Aquaphor to your hands.

I just didn't know if it could be due to me not getting all the Vitamins and nutrients that I need that my skin is doing this. Since surgery I have been able to keep anything down let alone take Vitamins. But I think I'll get a consult to a dermatologist. I use anything on my hands no lotion or anything.

I'm having problems with my Water intake along with food. I am dehydrated, I been that way since I got out the hospital. Maybe that is why it's doing it.

How far out from surgery are you? If you aren't able to take your Vitamins and get your Water in, you should contact your surgical team.

I'm almost 4 weeks out. I've spoken to them and was hospitalized because of pancreatitis. So that's why I haven't been able to to really have anything.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
