I don't think that is normal, but not sure. If I had any questions I would go see my primary care physician & get her to take a look at it though.

That doesn't sound too good. You should definitely get checked out. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Do you have steri strips on the incisions? Same thing happened to me a few years back. That's when I found out I was allergic to them so when I was in Mexico I made sure they knew I was allergic to it to prevent the blisters. Good luck!

Yeah I think it was that but I am allergic to bandaids too so I just took everything off and am using a cream.

Yes! I got horrific blisters from the adhesive from the bandaids. That was more painful than the actual incisions! I had never had a problem with bandaids before surgery, so go figure! I guess it shouldn't surprise me, my body has done all kinds of changing post-op!

      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.
