My largest incision has teeny tiny Water blisters all around in about 2" out. Ive been wearing a spandex like tank inder my shirt- could that be causing them or is it just healing or should I worry? When I run my nails over them they just pop and slightly itch. Anyone else have this? 12 days out today.

Stop popping those blisters sister !!!! and take off that spandex, you may have an allergy to something, call your Dr's exchange and report what's happening, but for sure call his office first thing Monday morning. If they itch try putting a cold compress or ice bag on the site 10 min on 10 min off. this will help with the itch.

10 days out and no blisters here. My steri strips were taken off by the doc on day 8. I just wash my incisions in the shower, pat dry and put on my shirt. Nothing tight, so it still gets air. I agree, stop popping the blisters. And let your incisions breathe.

sounds like an allergy. Did you have surgical tape or bandaids at the areas where it is blistering? You may have an allergic reaction to these,

ok ok...will stop popping the blisters. <_< I don't have any bandages where they are now. I did have them near the other incisions and removed all the tape. I don't see any near them now just around the larger incision that looks like a + sign. The spandex shirt keeps the pain in check due to the weight pulling on my incision area inside. Think it would be ok to put something over it and then wear the undershirts? I will call the nurse or leader of the support group Monday and ask. Thanks for the information.

      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.
