I had tremendous pain post-op, because I had so much surgery. The meds
did take care of it, but I needed the meds. Eating when you get past
surgery with the meds does help. I had been nauseous during a surgery,
so I told them before this last one, and they gave me stuff - I was
fine, thankfully.
I've never really had any itching, but the little I've had is helped
with Vitamin E.

Be very careful to keep your hands away from the sites and not scrub them when you take a shower/bath as they can get infected (tends to be rare-it happened on my second lap and i was given antibiotics and it cleared up)
