How far out are you? I developed a rash a few days post op that started on my belly and spread to my back, thighs, and arms. The itching drove me crazy! Docs finally figured out it was an allergic reaction to something surgery-related but never figured out what. I went through a few prescription creams, none of which worked and one made it worse. I ended up using Benedryl - it was the only thing that helped. I took Benedryl liquid (children's) and used Benedryl cream. They controlled the itching. After 2 1/2 weeks it started to fade away. Strange...

Omg it was all over my body, even my scalp. I think it was cause by a sweater that was sitting in my drawer for so long n i wore it to go to the store n while i was wearing it i began to get itchy everywhere. So like at midnight i received a call from my dr authorizing benadryl n ro go see him later on the day.

What a nightmare. You probably want to use gloves and tongs to get that sweater to the trash! Hope you're feeling better soon!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
