Omgosh, I've had very rough dry skin since surgery plus easy bruising and slooooow wound healing. I was thinking of posting something very similar to this last month, but I brought it up at my post-op appointment instead.  My surgeon suggested extra vitamin C, since it helps with collagen production. He said new post-ops don't eat much fresh fruit, when they need more vitamin C the most. I've added a chewable C and the dryness has improved a good bit, but I'm thinking I need a little more, since I still bruise for no apparent reason. Argh.

Hello Everyone,

I had VSG on 10/18/16. I've been having a difficult time with getting all my fluids in. I am dealing with dry skin daily. Does anyone know if dry skin will have a huge impact on my skin elasticity? I know that I'll have some sagging skin. I'm just hoping that the dry skin issue turns out to be just temporary. 

With all of the Grandkids I have to "love" Christmas. 

I never tried crab meat.

Sounds Delish!
