Why can’t I stop itching?

I haven’t tried any new foods and all my meds are the same. Normally I would think maybe the new bariatric supplements are to blame, but I’ve been taking those since the week of surgery and they didn’t bother me before.

I’m practically bathing in fragrance free lotion that I’ve always used and the itching is driving me nuts!
