Try putting some lemon or lime in your water. That might help. (Just another idea... ha ha) Sharee

You probably want to wait until it has healed completely to use the scar cream. But, you can use neosporin until then. It minimizes scars and heals things quicker too. Then when the scars are completely closed and no longer tinted pink you can apply the scar cream. Just massaging the area will minimize the lumps, but they will automatically go away with time. Using the neospring makes it easier to massage it and it helps with the healing at the same time. Good Luck to you!! Sharee

I too felt hungry after l week out much to my surprise. Of course I couldn't eat anything substantial and just the water kind of made me forget about food. Now 3 weeks out I find that I have to remember to eat and it is not really pleasant to eat. I hate taking 20 minutes to eat 2oz. so I've started fixing something and leaving it on the counter and taking little bites as I go by until it's gone. The most satisfying thing I've had was 2 boiled shrimp when we went to a restaurant. I ordered a shrimp ****tail, ate two in 20 minutes and my husband polished off the rest. I felt like I had had a real meal that tasted good. I'm afraid I might be eating too many carbs in these "creamy soups" but my weight loss is 21lbs. in 3wks. so I guess I'm doing o.k. I tried a sugar free jello pudding with 7 carbs. last night and experienced my first "dumping". I hear a lot of you talk about s/f pudding, can you tolerate it? Thanks for any input. Jo

My doctor told me to ***** a vitamin e capsule and rub the oil on the lap scars. I am also 3 weeks out. Jo

I'm almost three weeks out. There are no scabs. Can I start massaging Scar Cream? I want to minimize the lumps. Thanks.
