I have just started itching like crazy the last several days, has anyone encountered this problem. I am 7 months post-op and minus 70 pounds. And that brings me to my next point. I have stayed the same in weight for the last month is this also common around this time in my post opness? Thank you all

Plateaus are common and differant for everyone. I wouldn;t let it worry you and keep following the rules! I get itchy with dry skin. Maybe push more water and see if it helps?

With your weight loss you might end up having itchy skin. When I have lost large amts of weight in teh past I tend to have very itchy skin as it shrinks back down. Benadryl SPRAY helped a lot... better than the cream IMO... puts a waxy like coating on it protects AND stops the itching. If you've itched it a lot it might burn going on, but will settle down very quickly. It sucks... but think of it as a good thing as your skin shrinks!
