I'm itchy - post anesthesia I think.

Hungry... after 2 week liquid diet and Clear Liquids for the last several days.

And wanting to know what other stuff I can have besides Water, boullion, sugar free Jello, sugar free non carbonated drinks, and clear Protein Drinks?

Shellysmom are you or can you take anything for the itching? I'm having lap band surgery Next Monday I'm a little worried about itching. I did after my last surgery. Good luck and keep up the good work!

I already have Benadryl to sleep...not for allergies. So yes, I am taking something.

I think my itching is related to the anesthesia and the scabs under the adhesive sutures. Once those scabs come off, I think it will be better. But it's crazy, my head itches, my face itches, my back etc.. I don't think I have ever scratched my body so many times. I haven't scratched so hard that I damage skin, but it's kind of crazy.

Are you taking any anti inflammatories? I know Voltaren makes me itch like crazy after surgery.

Are you still itching? I had a eye lift almost 2 years ago and about 2 weeks later I itched until I would bleed, I went to several Doctors and finely one gave me a lotion and a prescription Benadryl. I take it most of the time. How are you feeling? Your still on clear liquids aren't you? Hows that going?

I was taking liquid Lortab & my MD said to stop. Looks like I'm allergic. The itching went away Tuesday night.

No more itching. It was the anesthesia. And the itchy scabs was the adhesive. Once the adhesive was off my skin... I had instant relief!
