I have Vitamin E oil so I guess I will just stick with it. I just don't remember my thyroid scar being this red/pink 2 months after so I am a little nervous.

Parttygirl I also wish my stomach was that flat but hey we will get there some day!!

this is why.... the thyroid scar is on the neck. You neck gets sun on a daily bases..... your stomach does not... there for your scar will be pinker.

Thanx for the info! I got a big tub of organic coconut oil at Wal-Mart for less than $10 and it lasts forever! You look great by the way :)

Thanks Sunshine... Coconut oil works great. Rub it daily if you can. It will help out a lot. Most important thing is to keep it moisturized...

Im concerned how my TT scar is going to do in the tanning bed.... going to start today... so we shall see....lol

Tanning beds are now listed as carcinogenic to humans . Its the worst thing you can do. Its straight radiation to your skin. Look up Scott Barnes Body Bling and St. Tropez products... both are sunless and awesome

So these sunless products, how Long do they last? Like if you go swimming will it come off? In Patches perhaps? Are you talking spray tans or lotions? I've never used either but it sure woul be easier than trying to get away to tan. Also does tanking beds help with scars or make them worse? I remember my sister used a tannin cream once and her hands were orange lol... That was awhile ago but scared me 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.
