My stomach itches



Recommended Posts

This is so weird. The last couple of days, my stomach has been itching. Not inside, but outside. It's like my skin can't stand to be contained under my clothes. It's localized on my stomach skin, not on my back or sides or chest. I get all antsy, and have to gently rub my skin under my shirt. (Not the best image, since I'm at work...) After awhile it goes away, but it comes back now and again. I'm not eating anything weird, don't normally have allergies, and I have no idea what's going on. It's like the nerves are misfiring or something.

Anyone else experience this, or have any ideas what it may be? :blink:

I have the same problem. I think it's due to not getting enough Protein. I use Vaseline intensive care lotion and it helps a ton. :)

I've experienced the same thing. I don't know if it's for lack of Protein though, I'm getting over 100g a day and I still have it.

I have experienced this after my C section 5 years ago. I always thought it was my nerves "coming back to life" after the surgery. It lasted for several months and finally tapered off. I'm not experiencing the itching with this surgery except for my incision sites so far. The only advise I have is to keep it moisturized. I used (and still use) Burts Bees Baby Bee lotion. It's not greasy and works wonders. Good luck and happy new year!

Oh my gosh! Me too! Feels like my clothes moving are irritating my incision sites! It was worse when I have five steri strips. Now I just have one. It's really annoying.

Hysterical. I'm an "itcher" too. Not really the incision itself, usually proximal to it. I think it was worse last week and Monday will be my 4th week post op. I think it may have to do with a Vitamin deficiency, I am agreeing with Protein. I also am noticing that my nails are a little more britte, skin dry. I could be drinking more and am hitting the protein!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
