Is anyone having issues with itchy skin. I am 11 months post-op, lost 110 lbs and cannot get over itchy skin. Does anyone know if it is related to the weight loss and do you have a remedy?

I had itchy skin earlier on. I don't know if it is related to the weight loss but it could be related to the change in diet especially if you have cut back on fats and oils. I've been having great luck with ground flax seed. I buy the whole seeds at Vitamin Cottage and grind a coffee scoop of them in a coffee grinder every morning and add them to a smoothie I make with Danon Lite and Fit yougurt smoothie and Any Whey protien powder. Flax seed is full of beneficial oils but don't do any good unless they are gound up. I've also started using an Oil of Olay body wash (it smells like Evening in Paris, if anyone remembers that old perfume) and it has also helped. I didn't look at your profile and I don't know how long you've been in Colorado but our dry air also can make skin dry and itchy. Didi
