Did you ever hear back? I had that about 3 days after my surgery' date=' lasted about 3 days, I put caladryl on it, that helped. Not sure what caused it and it has not recurred since.[/quote']

My PCP gave me an anti fungal cream with a steroid in it and it cleared up in about a week. She was concerned though because my rash had a dark tinge to it. And later all of that dead skin peeled off. She also told me that I had thrush.

Thanks for asking!

I had it was told to take Benadryl by ARNP. Got some liquid took it a couple of nights and it was gone.

Benedryl didn't help. I went to my PCP and she ended up giving me an antifungal cream with a steroid. It worked!

Here are my stats:

HW-295

SW-283 on 6-17-13

CW: 256

I Just weighed myself and I gained 3lbs in the last 3 days after being stalled for a while. Is none else starting to experience this? Are there typical weeks for stalls? I think I remember hearing something about stalling around 3-6 weeks.

Have you tried Prilosec? I thought I was starving! Someone said to try it and it really helps. I wasn't hungry, my tummy was upset. Lol

Hi I was sleeved on 6/24 and I thought about ways to get in adequate amounts of Protein. I did Protein in the sf pudding and mixed it really well and put them In 1/4 cup containers and froze them they are delicious. Lol it really took a half hour to eat too. Good luck

Did you put a scoop of powder for each serving?

No because the scoops are big it is 41 grams Protein. I put about a 1/4 scoop in each pudding and mixed it really good.

Saw my surgeon yesterday. Suggested 1 oz pickle juice twice a day. No more frothing or heart burn and zero nausea! She also scheduled upper GI to check for strictures.

I bought Syntrax Nectar today lemon tea flavor. Can be mixed directly in 2 to 4 oz of Water and taken as a shot. I was able to tolerate that amazingly well. Will definately buy the lemonade flavor next. Being able to get Protein in basically a "shooter" is a godsend for me. I get super full on 2 oz of anything including liquid.

Surgeon was concerned because I am in starvation mode and dehydrated again. Just so nauseated and full all the time. With the addition of Pickle Juice or even sucking on a pickle has made all the difference in the world. I didn't even bother with any nausea meds or reglan today.

Today is my birthday and I weighed in at 197. So I made my goal. Very happy about that. I bought size 16 shorts! Was in a 22 before. Amazing! Best gift to myself ever!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
