Not absorbing fat has ALOT to do with the dryness of skin. My skin texture

and tone has completely changed in the 18 months following WLS. I had

extremely oily complexion even at age 45. For the first time ever, I have

little pores and perfectly clear skin every day now. The downside is that my

body skin, especially hands and arms are so dry that I use TONS of fatty

lotions on them now to keep down the cracking and bleeding.

I'm certainly no expert, but I can tell you this. My younger sister

keeps herself pretty thin..probably at " chart " weight, but for our

family that is underweight for our body types. She is 3 years

younger than me at 42, but her skin is thin and finely wrinkled, her

hair is like Brillo. She gets anaemic easily and tends to get

infections.

She needs some fat to get her hair and skin looking normal, but don't

tell her that. She would rather look 90 years old and be a size 8.

p.s. her periods have been off for decades too.

The oil works for your kids, who, I'm assuming, haven't had gastric bypass.

But for those of us who have, the oil won't work as well as the flaxseed meal

(ground up seeds)--if at all, bcuz of the fat malabsorption issue.

Carol,

I'm a proximal and I don't absorb all of the fat that I eat, but I

definitely absorb some of it. I take Omega 3 fatty acids and can definitely

feel their effects. It takes six pills a day, but I do get some of it. Two

tablespoons of flaxseed oil is quite a dosage, so some must be absorbed. I

would think that liquid would absorb more easily than the oil in seeds,

since the seeds would have to be broken down. Who knows??

Wowza, wouldn't you be better off taking 2 packets of Coromega a day?

Vitalady tested on her distal system and her levels showed that it was

absorbed, right? I just hate taking pills, hence my move to using something

that, gasp, actually tastes like pudding.

You're right. Coromega is great stuff and undoubtedly better absorbed than

pills with oil in them since it's emulsified already. But, the particular

brand I take, Omegabrite has special mood-elevating characteristics (ratios

of EPA to some other something, haven't worked too well lately <G>) that I'm

seeking. I dream like crazy on them and sleep better.
