One Month Post Op!!!
Hello all my friends and family! 
I just wanted to check in and let you know I made it to my one month post-op! 
I am down 45 pounds and eating real food just fine (with lots of chewing and small bites of course). Had to buy a couple of blouses in the next size down because all of mine were falling off my shoulders at work. You know I had a really hard time with that. Could not get past the 3x rack or the 26-28W rack. Old habits...damn! 
I can see what it will be like when I need to go out of the Plus department altogether! Amen! Some of you know I had problems with hives about a week after surgery...well, that cleared itself up after a week or so, but I do have a question for you all....
Has anyone had problems with really itchy skin like around their ankles or legs after surgery? I have never had any problems like that, but since surgery, every morning when I get up, I shower and have to slab on moisturizer to help with the itchy's. No hives, just like real dry skin except it doesn't look or feel dry. Weird. Anyhow, you all take care and stay out of Ivan's way! God Bless you all! Kathy

You're doing great!!!!! 
Congratulations on your loss! I had really dry skin at 1 month, also. I increased my water and EFA(essential fatty acids) intake and I'm looking a lot less like Lizard Woman now.

Kathy,
YaY!!! I am so so happy for you!!! Yanno how I feel about clothes shopping right now!! I just can't do it. I keep telling myself to go shop through those suitcases of old clothes!! LOLOL
Anyhow about the dry itchy skin. My skin on my hands actually got so dry and itchy that it started coming off. When I went for my 1 month post op with Jose, he looked at them for me. He said it was a combo of things causing it and one of them being lack of carbs. He said to use a lot of lotion.
Always,
Karee
I had itchy, dry skin. I use a brown sugar scrub. It feels sooooooooo good and because it has an oil base it makes my skin soft. My daughter *****cently had a baby used it the other day when she was visiting and loved it too! I pick it up at Marshalls when it's on sale.
Great weight loss.
