I know it could happen after surgery. The tightness I feel is the same I felt when I had it before. I left doc said could be a reaction to meds from surgery. They gonna put me on a steroid.

I understand know, are you taking anything that can dry you out. For example benadryl. The steroid will def make it easier to breath.

Hmm I was right. Just leaving my primary doctor. He said its the beginning of cold and gave me meds so it wouldn't turn into pneumonia. Also got some cream for this rash. The doctor I saw yesterday at the surgeon's didn't even listen to me breathe in and out. They didn't even make me pay. I really doubt he was a doctor. Lol he had no problem lifting up my dress to check my rash though lol. Tip for the day listen to your body. You know your body.

I found a rash that itches under my breast. It was red and large. Doc said they covered me with a heater across my chest during surgery. It is 5 days later and finally going away. We must have an allergy to something. I used lanacane cream but it had to take its course

My surgeon is vacation. Who knows when are schedule are going to match when I can make follow up appointment and fill. My rash is basically where ever my skin and touch its self. Between the rolls. Lol. It almost looks like a sun tan the way it is on my breasts. I think its weird that whatever reaction I had is only in the surgery area.

Yes, I have an infection. On antibiotics now. It's liquid and pink. Reminds me of the med when I was a kid. Lol. I'll be fine. I knew something was wrong and didn't want it to really jump on me. I start a new job in 2 weeks so don't want to be ill.

      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.
