My dermatologist gave me biocorneum cream for my incisions. My scars flattened out about a week or so of use and now I'm just watching for them to fade. Sometimes I place a silicone scar away sheet on top of the biocorneum to hold it all in place.

I have some Bio-Oil I'm going to try using after the glue from my incisions come off.

I'm using bio oil mixed with mother's special blend oil. It works much better than just bio oil alone in my opinion

Almost 2 months out, not one of my inions is still visible without me pointing it out, and I seriously view that one, as my tattoo, I love it! I know it sounds trivial but embrace your body and love it, not saying don't use whatever product, but if you can view any scar from this as a victory, good for you

I just kept them clean and used both antibacterial soap and soap with aloe.

I suppose they are visible if one looks really really carefully, however, everything has shrunk in the area where the scars are.

I should add that if mine aren't totally vanished by 6 months pre-op I'll have them lasered off.

      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.
