Hello all! I've been reading the forum for the past couple of months, thank you all for the great advice and sharing your experiences. It's been very helpful and informative! I met with the surgeon a week ago today, my surgery date is June 26. Anyone else for June?

Surgery 6/21

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:

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?

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!
