I'm praying for you! I hate that you're going through this. I thought you were feeling better. I hope they hurry up and find out what's wrong. Keep us posted!

I have been feeling great but had a lil pain in kidney area on left and thought had stones so got check for that to find out something serious is wrong!! I was like OMG wasn't expecting this. It's all new since the new year

Sorry to hear this. Prayer and positive thoughts for you too! And you hang in there also!

So I've been on the scale lately and just documenting my weight and going on about my day. I hit 218 yesterday and losing weight has finally clicked in. I'm so close to onederland and I haven't been this weight since entering high school. It is so surreal! I have 73 pounds to my personal goal of 145 but I just thought it would be a fantasy because I didn't think I'd see the 100s ever again! Feeling so blessed and happy today!

Congratulations Kloveburd.

Can any of you tell me if we are allowed to take Benadryl Allergy medicine? If not which allergy medicine do you take? My allergies are in overdrive and I am having trouble sleeping.< /p>

Yes I've been taking benadryl and zertec and prescription nasal spray. My allergies are the worst ever.. sneezing and nose running everyday for 2 months now. I never had my allergies act up for so long. Ugh!!!

Thanks for the information seriousaboutme, I am sure my allergy problem is related to new pillows and a new "Bed in a Bag". It is such a pretty ensemble but I will have to pack it away. Aside from this little issue I am completely pleased with how I feel. I am doing a bit of weight lifting and swimming at the Y. I am a band to RNY and a slow loser. My surgery was 8/22 and I have gone from 259 to 196.5. 5 months and 7 days and down 62.5 pounds. I have been at a stall for some time and I have been losing a huge amount of hair. It is noticeable to me. My concerns are mild and thanking God for the weight loss so far. Good luck to all the August RNY peeps. I would love to hear how you are all doing.

I had an allergic reaction to something following my surgery (three different docs couldn't figure out what). I developed a terrible rash that covered my belly, lower back, thighs, and upper arms. I was told to take children's Benedryl liquid because pills were a no-no during the first month flowing my bypass. I still take it on occasion. I noticed the liquid seemed to kick in faster than the capsules so I still buy the children's liquid. If you can't take pills or have trouble with them getting stuck, try the liquid. Very cheap at Walmart! :-)

I've been taking children's Benadryl or it's generic version because they come in liquid and the same for their Tylenol.

You sound like me. I've lost about 67 lbs. surgery 8/26 and a few stalls but I can tell I'm steadily losing inches. I'm sure you are to so keep a track of your measurements! You're doing great!

Hope everyone is doing well as I am still awaiting a biopsy of my liver... Scared as Ever... But as for me I'm at 220lbs my surgery day way 8-6-2013 and on that day I weighed 302 my highest weight ever was 346lbs!! I have lost a total of 126lbs!! Wow I'm still in shock! Nearly 130lbs down. That's 82lbs in less that 6months.my clothes were a tight 24 and tops were 3X now I'm in a 14/16 and in a L/XL shirt! I'm alright with my loss have been maintaining weight and these stalls are getting crazy! My goal over all is to get down to 170lbs by 8-6-2014!! That's 50lbs more to go! :-) hope I can get it there or do even better. As for my health I'm great except the liver issue that is going on. PRAYING TO GOD ITS JUST FATTY TISSUE!! Hope it's not cancer but can go either way... Prayers appreciated! Hope everyone else is doing better than I am!!

Good Morning! My surgery was Aug 28th and I have lost 79lbs so far. I am losing slowly it seems. I am starting to work out now, so hopefully that will get things moving. I go through periods of not losing anything, and then I will lose a few pounds.

What is everyone's weightloss so far? I started out at 306 and am now 227.

I started at 376 day of surgery, and today was 314. I think exercising is really making my weightloss pick back up again. With perseverance, I'll make my 6 month appointment at or below 300.
