Almost 4 weeks post op and I have only lost 14 pounds
soccerfamilyof6 replied to sunny2day's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was slow to lose until I started soft foods. Now it's dropping quickly. I would rather lose slow so my skin shrinks with the weight loss and I have less chance of the saggy skin. -
Itchy Incisions
soccerfamilyof6 replied to Cariboom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am itchy as well and I am two weeks out today. Went to Dr. for post op appt. down 21 pounds. He said I am allergic to the adhesive they used to help the steri strips stay attached. He said use a Hydrocortizone creme. -
I have rashes at the steri strip sites in three places. Itches like crazy. Im only 4 days post op. Dr says they have to stay in place until Thursday. Benadryl and Hydrocortizone creme. UGH!!!

Recommendations for a better tasting protein supplement?
soccerfamilyof6 replied to AudraN's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I cant stand the shakes for protein. I found pouches you drop into water bottles called Pro2Go. I bought lemonaide and orange. They are both really good and 10 of protein for each one. You are killing 2 birds with one stone. Water and protein. -
