I, too, scheduled my appointments from the very beginning and sent calendar appointments to my boss' calendar. I wasn't having it. I refuse to start all over. I know you were frustrated. I don't blame you. My last appointment is August 18th. I'm going to be there with bells on. [emoji57]

Protein2o is good- I got it at Safeway 15 g of protein. Wasn't too sweet. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 196.6 GW 135

I feel as though traveling at 6 weeks would be manageable. You may be pretty tired and I would be even more aware of your eating/vitamin/water schedule because traveling would make it easier to forget. I would have on hand protein bars, meat/jerky sticks and other high protein shelf stable foods that you can keep on you at all times. As for eating out, I eat out quite regularly and I find the best thing to do is to order a portable scale off of Amazon. I keep it in my purse and I got one with a lid so it will stay clean. I can only eat 2 oz and still remain comfortable, the scale has been perfect so I don't overeat. I stay away from the kids menu because the options are usually fried or a lot of carbs. I always share with my husband.

I used to drink a full pot a day, yes I had some withdrawal headaches post op for a few days. Im now 2 months out and haven't had any caffeine since surgery and I feel great. I don't even need it on the days thatI work 12 hr shifts. I have alot more energy and feel good.

breakfast sandwich? processed food. lasagna? heavy carbs and gluten. sloppy joe? bread and added sugars. your issue is not quantity but quality. none of what you just listed is healthy. make better food choices and THEN let your appetite guide you. right now, the foods you are eating are not nutritionally dense, so your body is not satisfied, and therefore driving you to eat more. slippery slope you are on. correct it while it's still early.

Remember to eat slow and do not drink anything with meals that can cause dumping in early stages. Just take it slow and try smaller portion in a few days and make sure sugar content per serving is below 20 grams.

What did you eat to make you dump? I'm so afraid of this.

Omeprazole works well to help prevent acid, Tums works well to deal with acid when you already have it. I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Good luck!

5 days! On the 4th day I took children's liquid stool softener.
