I was right after surgery, (likely the pain Rx).

Any new creams, soaps? Any new foods?

The first 2 days post op I was itching all over really bad. On my arms, chest, back, legs, and face... It was terrible. I was told that it would get better once I started drinking lots of Water.

Maybe you're slightly dehydrated. Try drinking lots and putting lotion on. Hope that helps! :)

I broke out in a rash it turned out I was allergic to the gallbladder medicine. Once I stopped taking it within a day it went away.

I was itchy like crazy after surgery. I didn't have a rash, I think I just had a sensitivity to the pain meds. The itching lessened greatly after I stopped taking the pain meds, but now it's starting again. Now the itching is around my incisions, so I'm sure it's because the wounds are healing.

Ooh me too! I'm scratching like a monkey on my stomach. Trying to be careful not to leave red streaks on myself. The incisions drying sure are itchy.

      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.
