I can't wait to see my inciscions =P I am only 3 days post-op, so they are still dressed. They'll come off on Thursday!

I know the way I usually heal - and I had a large incision from spine surgery 3 years ago, as well - they will probably be pink for a few months, and then fade down even more. All my other scars end up fading down to white, and are pretty flat as well.

As soon as I'm allowed, I will be rubbing, you can bet! I am a huge fan of cocoa butter lotion - and the extra moisture for the skin will hopefully help out with sagging =P I have also used Scar Fade, and I think that helps as well.

I remember being excited to see my scars and could t wait to take my bandages off! Great reminder about how far we come. It's fun to watch your body heal itself, very strategic our bodies:)

      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.
