Is anyone else or has anyone else experienced this? My entire body is itching like its on fire!! I'm not dehydrated and my husband and I are constantly putting lotion on me. Even calamine lotion in the really itchy places (behind my knees). I don't know what else to do. It's like I'm being attacked by mobs of fleas. No rashes or anything. I figure it was because of losing the weight and skin changes. Anyone have any ideas? I'm desperate!! Thanks, Mandy

I don't know. Between this and a gout flare up in my left knee and left ankle 3 days after surgery, it's about to kill me!

Do you take any meds that could be causing this? I know HCTZ makes me itch like crazy. I can't take any of the blood pressure meds that have that in it. Just a thought....

This happened to me about 3 months out from my skin tightening from the weight loss the only reason I knew that was because it happened to me in basic training but just on the belly from the weight loss and toning so quick

I think it's because of skin changes. I don't take any kinds of those meds mentioned above. It seems to happen more at night than any other time and my legs are the worst.

I'm not sure if Benadryl is a drug we can have. Anyone else know?

My Dr. Had me take Benadryl about a week after surgery do to a reaction to the glue that they used.

The pain meds they gave me made me itch and they gave me Benadryl in the hospital.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
