Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I just curious to know if anyone has used any healing oinments/creams on your scars and how did they work? I have seen some youtube videos of people using different products and I'm curious as to if people feel they are beneficial?

My doctor suggested just generic Vitamin E lotion if I was worried about my scars. I haven't gotten any so I guess I'm not too worried. lol

Talk to Melanie Skymoon. About creams. She did a YouTube video on all the creams she uses for her belly scars and facial blemishes. Excellent video!

Just something to think about - I was bitten in the face by a dog and wanted good scar creme. The plastic surgeon recommended waiting one full month after the scars are healed before using any creams or Vitamin E.

I used bio-oil on my c-section scar, and I'll be using it on the band scars too, once the dressings come off.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
