Hey my fellow sleevers,I just wanted to know if anyone experience having dry lips once they started drinking protein shakes. Since i started my pre op diet last Sunday i started to noticed that my lips have gotten incredibly dry.I have been using chap stick drink lots of water and nothing is helping...I'm thinking maybe its the brand[EAS-Vanilla],I've drank protein shakes before a different brand and this didn't happen before....Its just a weird feeling and i don't like it,Hopefully soon this will be over.

I'm on a Everchanging journey.

Thank you for posting that article...It might be.I'm drinking 64oz of water a day when i drink my shakes.Im strongly thinking that it might be the brand because i use Designer whey before and this never happend.

Also the chap stick can cause dry lips, I know doesn't make sense but it depends on what it's made from try something natural like Bert's Bees or anything without petroleum products in it.

 The the thing i always use the same chap stick and lip glosses since i was in high school and i never had this happen before...I truly noticed it after i started drinking the EAS protein shakes.I think i had some kind of reaction to it...I'll try some of the bert's bees maybe that will help with the dry feeling and start the healing process.

I agree with the last post. No other chap stick brand worked for me except Burt's Bees replenishing lip balm. This is both pre and post op. It can never hurt to try and get in more water. I am still struggling with that myself
