They look great to me from the pic! My steristrips didn't come off for 5 weeks! Your scars look better than mine! Doing anything special to them?

He took mine off at my post op appt. they are completely closed. He wanted me to keep them moist. I am using neosporin. It helps with the mild pain and itching.

I didn't have steristrips, my surgeon used a skin glue, which started peeling and finally came off, The 18th of this month will be one month post op for me

I have to say I am pleased. Historically I keloid especially on my shoulders. I did not keloid with my c-section incision, but I did with my breast reduction. So these are looking like they may heal minus keloids. All I can say is I m thankful for that!

I'm also almost 3 weeks post op and your look so much better. I still have a scab on one of mine. And the one they had to make for my hernia repair is forever irritated because it sits right under my bra.

      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.
