Update: Tomorrow will be a full week since surgery, but I had my one week follow-up today. I am down 15 lbs from surgery date! Feeling pretty good, just a bit tired. Ready to be able to eat something with a little more nutritional value. Getting in my Water and Protein, so I’m feeling good about that.

Did you figure out what’s causing it?? Looks like a medication reaction....I’d call your doctors office

the straight lines to the left tell me this is some kind of contact dermatitis..are you using a heating pad? changed your detergent? wearing new clothes or underwear? sitting next to an animal your allergic to?

It was an allergic reaction to lovonox. I was allergic to my blood thinner!! I am now on meds to heal this rash heal. But I will not continue my blood thinner. I was not near heating pad. No new detergents, nothing out of norm other than the Bariatric meds. So ahh ha!! Now just to heal:)

      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.
