Wear oven mitts!! Lol, jk.

I'm not sure what you should do... I tend to itch around the incision and that makes me feel a little better, but mine isn't all that bad. I just took the stitches out today, and still have them bandaged up. You could probably try that, if you tend to do it while you're sleeping, just put some gauze over them and some tape.

Mine are itchy, too. And yes I agree it is because they are healing. My have a clear type glue substance over them. I scratch around them but keep telling myself that my post op is just a few days away and maybe it will be better.

Itchy too .. I scratch around the incisions. So far I haven't scratched at night, that I know of.

I have glue on all but one incision. One is a little larger, maybe 2 inches with internal stitches and tape.

We're healing! It's a wonderful thing. :)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
