Hello all - working nights again so another late post.  I have just one night to work this week, because I took off tomorrow night.  I have a 3 hour nutrition class, and a pre-surgery appointment with my surgeons PA when I get off in the morning that is 60 miles from work.  So I would end up getting very little sleep (if any at all) if I had to come in tomorrow night.

QOTD:  I always get dry skin in the winter just another wonderful thing about South Dakota winters lol.

Breakfast - turkey stick, 100 calorie Greek yogurt, tuna creations packet

Lunch - Butter Leaf Lettuce salad w/ mushrooms, cucumbers, yellow tomatoes

 **edited to take out protein shake and add 2 hard boiled eggs instead (Protein shake was packed for Breakfast Tuesday to eat on the road)

I found that a few months after the surgery I started getting very very dry.  The doctor said I needed to have fat in my diet and not go fat free on everything. It took a while, but it got better. I also try to be very diligent about putting lotion on immediately after my shower.  I like Aveeno (which several people mentioned) and use Body Butters from the Body Shop a few times a week as well.  I also take Hair, Skin, and Nails (Gelcaps) from Costco. This was something the surgeon advised me to take in the initial months and then he recommended I continue it because he said there is other good stuff in there that is good for me.  The regular dose is 4 pills a day, and I did take that many in the early months, but now I just take one a day along with my other supplements.  

I also use Estee Lauder face creams...Advanced Night Repair and Lightweight Renutriv (among other free samples I get).  I wasn't allowed any moisturizer of any kind (face or body) the night before my plastic surgery and it was pure torture. I felt dry as a bone.

We had horses for many years and I had one with a very dry coat.  The vet had us treat her with corn oil mixed in with grain. Maybe that would work for us too.    I think the thought is that it is best treated from the inside vs. the outside.  I believe a two-pronged approach (lotion and fats) probaby works best.
