Hi all. So has anyone else delt with this? I'm 12 days post-op and my stomach itches profusely, and it won't stop. I called my doctors office, and per their instructions I tried benadryl and calamine lotion. Unfortunately neither one has helped. Does anyone have any other advice or solutions, its driving me crazy?! HW: 289 SW: 277 (DOS 8/30/17) CW: 258 Sent from my LG-V495 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi All, My name is Amber and I'm 43 years old. I've had a really rough 3 years, with a lot of loses, weight not being one of them. I was suffering from depression, and noticed that I was gaining weight at a really steady pace (I gained almost a 100lbs). So per doctor instructions, I looked into Gastric Bypass Surgery, and with high hopes started my new journey last October. I had surgery on August 30th, I'm six days out, and healing really well. But I find myself having issues with the post-op liquids, just thinking about drinking them makes me ill. Has anyone else had this reaction? And if so, what did you do to prevail?

Hi my name is Amber. I'm 43 years old, no kids (I do have 2 fur babies though), and widowed. I've been to hell and back in the past 3 years, and I've suffered a lot of loses. I'm trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and find me again. I had RNY surgery on 8/30 (which was also the 3 year anniversary of my husband's passing), so I'm 8 days out and done really well up till now. I seem to have hit a wall, just the thought of drinking another shake makes me ill. I'm not getting nearly enough liquids down to do any good, and I don't know what to do. I'm afraid that I'm going to get sick, or fail!!! Any help, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Sent from my LG-V495 using BariatricPal mobile app
