NOT AN OVEREATER NOW

Thank you; i have now had all my sterile stitches removed and the itching is very mild.

My sleeve was done 10/14 and the itching has finally stopped, but like Melaine said cold compress!!

That is awesome! I have already had family members notice (I have lost 33lbs total between my pre-op diet and post op so far). I don't see the changes yet, but I didn't expect to notice them for awhile as the 33lbs I lost were the 30lbs I gained in the spring/summer having way too many food funerals in preparation for surgery LOL.
I have itching too- but that is a good thing It's just your incisions healing up. I have some of this C-Section/Scar stuff left over from my c-section (3 years ago LOL) and I have been using it and it has stopped the itching! It's just a base with some essential oils so it smells wonderful too!
I haven't taken any pictures of myself yet (I know it's easier to see results if you compare photos) however, I do take pictures of my incisions everyday LOL

I am 8 days post op and the itching is driving me crazy. ha. but I guess that is a good sign. probably shows that I am healing. A friend came over to bring me some Soup. she didnt know what kind of surgery I had. I have just been telling people I had some scar tissue removed from past colon cancer. I have only told my husband. So she brought me some soup and some magazines. She told me wow you look really good-you look like you have lost some weight. yes about 10 lb now. it felt really good to hear that. I can feel it and see it in the mirror. I know it will be better when I can go back to exercising and moving more. still kind of sore. am able to eat a couple of teaspoons of food at a time. I dont have a lot of hunger so that is good. how long did the itching last for you guys? thanks all!!
