I am 1 week and a half weeks post op. started breaking out in a rash on my inner thighs, inner biceps, breasts and feet. It's red spots slightly raised, slightly itchy. Left a message with the doctors office. Any clue???

Saturday I started my Biotin, flinestones, tums and Calcium (all of which I have had in the past at some point).

Sounds like an allergic reaction to something, I'd stop the Biotin as that one isn't a necessity and see if that helps it; if not, definitely talk to your Dr. about the other Vitamins

I have a similar rash, but only on my arms. I think I found my culprit, a new Protein Shake, Strawberries and Cream. My rash started about 6 days after drinking this Protein (I drank it everyday, I was so sick of the chocolate, never thought that I would say that lol) I've stopped the new drink for about 3 days.

I just finished Biotine and Vitamin B5 injections. Sometimes people have reactions after stopping something. Sometimes I think my rash is better, sometimes not.

Have you started any new foods?

Anyway, I think we both need to see our doctor. Good luck.

      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.
