You might be lacking in EFA's . . . (essential fatty acids). Pretty cheap at health food or nutrition stores. I take Nordic Natural's Pro-EFA, one capsule daily. -BJ

Also make sure you're getting enough fluids. Regina

I read that the fats in olives and nuts were good for your skin and easily absorbed. One of the reasons for dry skin after wls is that fats are malabsorbed because of the length of small intestine that is bypassed. I started snacking on mixed nuts and it seemed to help my dry skin problem. Hope this helps.

Tiffany, dry skin got me too, and my support group suggested using olive oil twice a week on my skin. I thought it was weird but worth a try and now I love it. I have been adding olive oil to my regular lotion, warming it up and slathering it all over. Best suggestion I've gotten yet. Hope it helps for you.
