hi I think I see every other month posted here! did everyone skip November so they could have a thanksgiving feast? my feast was totally liquid cause I had my gp done on November 20th....lol no turkey and stuffing for me.......hehehehe

glad to see there are a few of us

this also happened to me. I was doing everything right and nada! I think I had thoughts that it would just fall off. all the education they gave me and they never talked about stalling or how long it would take to lose the weight. I do understand that everyone is different. when I called to ask my nutritionalist....she had me make an appt. and come in. that was a waste of time and money........she said I was doing every thing right......duh.....that was what I told her.......I wish she would have just said that stalling is normal. at that time I hadn't gone to a group meeting yet.....so I couldn't ask anyone there....then I found this site.....thank god! I found that it is normal and others have the same problem. no need to say I am now a member here and will stay.....so much information.....:)

even before my gastrc bypass, I used to use a 1 percent cream for a sometime rash under my stomach.. I have now lost 51 lbs. and it seems to be getting much worse. I went to my nurse practictioner at where I had my bypass and she gave me a medicated powder. I said I would run out and get it. I asked her ( I had never used a powder before),if this doesn't work, what is next? this was said in the nicest of ways. she said take it up with your dermatologist. well, I used it for about 3 days as instructed. I now have such a flaming red rash I can barely walk. today I showered the powder all off and went back to my cream. anyone have or had this problem before? and what.....oh what did you do?

the name of the stuff from the pharmacy is domeboro. it is supposed to dry out the rash. just in case someone else has the same problem. I have't tried it yet. tomorrow am.

good morning everyone! it was so bad last night that I went to the e.r. the dr. said it did look awful! showed her the powder and the cream. she said to stay with the antifungal cream. since I only used the cream for one day...she said it takes time to work. keep using the cream and keep it dry. dr. also told me to go to the pharmacy....and there is something with vinegar and teabags that will dry it out. not sure of the name.....will get that later......don't want to wake up my hubby right now....trying to be quiet.....shhh....lol dr. also said I could try gauze between the folds. thank all of you that replied. I knew I could come here and ask..

thank you for the help Kristina. I am doing the no panties, spread eagle thing today. no improvement so far. I had to cancel today's plans and it seems I will have to cancel tommorow's as well. this is imobilizing me. just sitting here on the computer is skin against skin......I am going nuts!

no boils...just flaming red and sore as heck. my skin feels like crepe paper....so tender.
