I was right after surgery, (likely the pain Rx).

Any new creams, soaps? Any new foods?

The first 2 days post op I was itching all over really bad. On my arms, chest, back, legs, and face... It was terrible. I was told that it would get better once I started drinking lots of Water.

Maybe you're slightly dehydrated. Try drinking lots and putting lotion on. Hope that helps!

I broke out in a rash it turned out I was allergic to the gallbladder medicine. Once I stopped taking it within a day it went away.

I was itchy like crazy after surgery. I didn't have a rash, I think I just had a sensitivity to the pain meds. The itching lessened greatly after I stopped taking the pain meds, but now it's starting again. Now the itching is around my incisions, so I'm sure it's because the wounds are healing.

Ooh me too! I'm scratching like a monkey on my stomach. Trying to be careful not to leave red streaks on myself. The incisions drying sure are itchy.
