Itchy all over what can I take

Old wife wisdom: Benadryl or another antihistamine. Draw yourself a coolish bath, throw a handful of either baking soda or oatmeal in and sit and splash yourself. I personally prefer oatmeal baths myself. That's what Domboro soaks are made of. Gently pat yourself dry, don't rub, it will only make things worse. And invite your doctor into the loop if need be I personally have had so many allergies I thought red and bumpy was a normal skin condition

Me too! Is it related to WLS? Red rash all over my back and stomach- and some on face

I figured it was an allergy passing through— didn’t think it could be related

Could be a reaction to anesthesia chemicals, post surg medicines, or you starting to releasing hormones etc from your body fat. Or , worse case scenario, you're now allergic to your Protein Shake but with that you should have nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. Or if you are like me --allergic to Hibaclens or whatever they painted you with prior to surgery. I'm built like a Belgian Plowhorse but inside a delicate woods wildflower that bruises or rashes easily. Sniff Sniff!

      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.
