I feel ya...eating has become a chore now vs a pleasure as it once was. If eating wasn't a requirement of existence I would probably just stop all together. My previously fav foods now have no taste or taste nasty to me. I still get head hunger, go to eat what I crave and then want to puke cuz it doesn't taste good anymore. I'm only 9 weeks out though so we'll see if I ever get back to some semblance of normal somewhere down the road.

When was your surgery? The gas was very painful for me right after I woke up and the remainder of the night of surgery and the 1st day after. Walking walking walking and gas X strips that dissolve in your mouth helped me with the gas finally. I didn't have a support device or itching so no advice to give you there sorry...when I itch in general I usually try a thick lotion may help the irriation or provide some type of barrier between your skin and the support device you have. I like Gold Bond or Avon's Moisture Therapy. Anyway...good luck
