Is your doc your bariatric surgeon? My experience is that they know

practically NOTHING about nutrition. While it's true we need more protein than

" normies, " it's just plain nuts not to eat some other stuff as well. Esp fat.

Since we

malabsorb fat, we need to eat enuf of it to keep healthy. And dry skin would

definitely be an indication to me that I'm deficient in fat. There is good fat

and bad fat. Eat things that are high is essential fatty acids (omega 3's and

omega 6's). Salmon,and other cold-water fish, nuts, olive oil, ground

flaxseed meal, etc. You don't need to eat saturated fat to get the fats that

will

keep you healthy and your skin soft. As for the salt cravings, it can be an

indication you're deficient in one of the minerals, potassium maybe? (Vitalady

can

answer this one; I always forget).
