Hi Shannon I had the same thing. My doc gave me chlortrimazole. It's an anti fungal cream and you can get it OTC for like $6. If it's any help, I took pics of all my funky rashes and when it came time to get insurance approval for my tummy tuck and breast reduction, I sent them to the insurance company. The pics helped me get approved. Another thing I tried was the monistat body powder that helps prevent chafing. I hope this helps, if you have any other questions, feel free to email me.

Hey Sue!!! It's been awile since I've been on too. Like you, I have had a crazy couple of months. I have 6 months left of nursing school and I feel more and more swamped everyday. I made goal about 6 months ago (170 lbs) and I had a tummy tuck and breast reduction! It's great seeing people that I haven't seen in awhile because they are completely amazed! I hope everything is going well with you. How's the fam?

Sue!! Oh my gosh, where have you been hiding?!! I have missed you--our board leader!! I think we have all gained a few pounds..I know I did over the holiodays, but after refocusing my exercise and getting back on fitday.com the pounds are flying back off. It really ha**** me hard recently that I am addicted to food, and I have triggers. This is going to be a life-long process that I have to stay dedicated to in order to make it work. How is your fam? What are you doing for work? Many Blessings! -Katie S.

Oh my goodness it's been way too long since I've hung out with you all! I hope everyone is well! I am doing pretty good, can't complain! I lost about 90 lbs or so, and have gained about 7 lbs over the last four months... so I am refocusing my efforts. I would love to drop another 15 pounds, and I think some day I will do it! I know I DO NOT want to gain another ounce, so I am reining things in now before it's too late. Even though my gain is a bit alarming, I guess I'm not panicking because I really haven't been watching it at all, so considering that, things aren't too bad! I have had an extremely emotional and stressful seven months... but feel that I am entering a new phase in my life now. I have gone back to work, and I love it! I would love to have my tummy tuck, but I don't think it's going to happen any time soon. Maybe in a few months I can start pursuing that. I don't know. I have to rededicate to my vitamins, calcium and iron also, as I am still dealing with anemia. How are you all doing on your vitamins?? I hope you all stay on track with getting the nutrition we need to get! I have also heard it aids in weight loss if you are not deficient, don't know how true that is. The exercise has also suffered during these last few months, and I MISS IT!! So, that's my update! I miss hanging out here as well! I will make more of an effort to check in from now on. Feel free to email and discuss staying dedicated to our new lifestyles, etc! God bless! ~Sue

Great news, a gal i met had a baby after her wls, and other than her blood sugars she did great and any weight she gained slipped right back off.....
