No loss in one week/Dumping Syndrome

Well VST Friends, I'm 3 weeks out from my surgery (6/13/13) and I'm slowing down on the loss. Today I added yogurt to my diet for breakfast this morning. I was told to introduce one food item, a day into my diet to see if I my new stomach would tolerate it. Well...bad choice today! I experienced my first bout of 'dumping syndrome' today. My stomach was jacked up for about 1 hour. I had Yoplait Lemon Creme Pie and only 3 spoonfuls of the stuff (as I don't really like yogurt). Less than 20 mins after the last spoonful, I got a very uncomfortable knot in my stomach! It was like a tight ball of yarn! I won't be trying yogurt ever again...needless to say! LOL I gave away the other two I had at work. I should just stick to my sugar free Jello, sugar free pudding and sugar free fudgesicles. They are fulfilling and taste great! The creamed soups are good as well (except the cream of mushroom...disgusting). As for the weigh in today, I didn't loose a thing this week (which I thought was strange). My caloric intake was well under 500 calories per day, so I don't know why I didn't even drop 2-4 lbs for the whole week. Kind of puzzling. I will take a look a VST (Vertical Sleeve Talk) to see if any other people experienced the same kind of stall at this stage. Oh well, I'm going to keep on with the diet and hope for the best. I'm hoping to be down 20 lbs by the end of the month...wishful thinking...I know. LOL But still hoping! I will keep you all informed! Pics to come on Friday!!! My one month anniversary! TTYL!!
