Sweet_Mia 61 Posted August 24, 2013 Hello, I had my surgery July 30, and I lost 26 lbs I've lost some inches too. Since I started loosing weight and inches my body has been itching like crazy, I've been putting lotion, & baby oil it doesn't help. So my question is has anyone had, or is having the same problem if so can you let me know what you did to stop the itching. Thank you take care.

My New Journey 2013[/quote'] Do you take Omega 3 Fish Oil? At about 8 weeks post op my skin started itching like mad, especially on my arms. I doubled my Fish Oil intake (from 2,500 mg to 5,000), got some benedryl cream and it stopped itching. I use a gel pack of Fish Oil called Coromega. Avail at GNC. One pack in the morning and one in the evening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MandaPanda 173 Posted August 24, 2013 I had bad itching too. Using a body scrub in the shower with a wash cloth then cover yourself in cocoa butter or body butter after. Helped alot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
