Wow, not sure what it can be but if you have some sort of spots sounds like you have some sort of illness. I would definitely go to the doctors today, it could be measles at worst or chicken pox. Best wishes.

Your body has been through a big stress--you could just have a case of the hives. I've been known to break out in those when my defenses are low. Probably best to call up your PCP and have them look at your spots and order a blood draw.

Is it possible your just sick? its pretty delayed, thats the reason I think that. I would go to the doctor anyway but I', inclined to think you have the flu or something.

^^ the shingles could be very possible. My mom had it a couple of years ago and the symptoms you are describing sound very similar to onset of symptoms she had (was one of those "what the hell is this?" only to find out her symptoms were textbook) I hope you don't have to endure that...it is quite painful :-(

I would go to the hospital. You may be dehydrated so even getting an iv could help.

      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.
