Hello Everyone,

I have been itching for the past 3 days and now I have a rash on my lower back and legs. I'm currently 3 weeks post op, I get in 70 grams of Protein a day and around 80 -85 ounces of liquids a day. Has anyone else suffered from this?? Can you please shed a little light on this issue? All responses are appreciated, I just want to know what is really going on.

Thanks.

Can it be from sitting for long periods of time ?

I can remember those first three weeks found me running on low energy and sitting around more than normal.

I don't know the details, but my friend had a bad itchy rash after her bypass. She survived, but I am not sure if she put anything on it or just waited it out.

Could be a yeast infection of the skin. I had it too on my abdomen and legs. I would suggest buying lotrimin af in the spray can. It has miconazle nitrate 2% (an antifungal) which is the highest dosage I've seen without a prescription and keeping yourself clean and free of moisture and spray those areas twice a day

Thanks everyone I really appreciate the responses. Now it's on my stomach, so I will be calling my surgeon and asking him if he can prescribe some type of medicine for this.

      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.
