Mine were so itchy it drove me crazy! It goes away after a couple of days. Cortizone helped a little. I heard or read somewhere (after they no longer itched of course!) to slap them LIGHTLY. Let me know if it works. Hope the itchies go away for you soon!

Itchy, but that's good. No complications, & they're a lot less gross than I thought they'd be. Can't wait to start Mederma after a but more healing. Try not to germ them up w/your fingers.

Mine didn't fall off... It needed a little help. It didn't hurt and my incisions were healed underneath. Feels so much better.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
