Can a few people post what their scars look like and if they did any treatment to minimize?

I use caster oil on my scars..It is the only thing that can absorb into the scar and treat it from the inside out as well as the outside..It makes the scars lighter and softer....

No photo's though....goodness!

From my Osteopath, who works on scars to soften them so that there will be less strain on your skin and organs and muscles if they are pliable....One part is connected to the other part in our bodies and it can have an effect on our system if not looked after..... :)

​Hi, I have attached two pictures. I am currently 3 weeks post op. The round scar isn't healing as fast as the other four. I started using coco butter for scars and stretch marks. It has worked really well so far (5 days). This one round scar is going to take a bit longer. The longer scar (below my belly button) was itchy and red for a bit, but now it's healing and fading. The other scars are also fading.

Castor oil is not fish oil . It's thick so I usually add organic coconut oil to it. I keep a bottle in my bathroom to smooth on after a shower or bath. It's so great for the skin and hair.

      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.
