My confessions.... I confess that I have a cherry dr pepper once a day...every day...takes all day to drink it, but I get it done. ....that I dont get all my Protein or Water in...and I dont try ....that at times I really wish I had my whole stomach back so I can finish a sandwich. .... I get extremely irritated with the people on the blog that gets so upset at the thought of a donut or a cookie... I never intended to give up my favorite foods just to limit my consumption. .... And finally I confess I love absolutely love this site since Fishy was banned!!

Dumping MOST DEFINATELY does happen with the sleeve, it is just not as bad as with by pass patients.

.....learn how to pole dance...not for a career just for me and him.....if a him ever happens

I am 5"2 and had the surgery at 171 lbs. My insurance approved it tge same day and paid 100%. Now 6 weeks later I habe only lost 17 lbs but those few lbs lost made it possible to stop taking blood pressure pills by the truck load.....before judging just remember some peoples body makeup was not meant to carry extra weight.

Im 7 weeks out and want ice cream. Has any one had complications with ice cream. Im not really concerned with the calories, just wondered if most sleeves like or dislike ice cream.

I was sleeved November 21, 2012. I have barely lost any weight 10 lbs at the most, however I was a low BMI'er. Im 5"1 and was 171# on date of sleeve. Im wondering if there is a time when Ill be able to eat what I want and not throw up and or slime or experience the dumping. It seems the only foods that dont make me dump are the foods that I shouldnt have.

I saw my collar bones last week too, I was so excited I was showing them to everyone....they looked at me like I was crazy.

I am 7 weeks our and have been up half the night with itching feet and hands. The soles and palms of my hands are itching so bad and no matter how much lotion or hand and foot creams I put on, my skin is soaking it up within 2 minutes. Im wondering if I have become dehydrated?

Im noticing a strange body odor. I dont stink but I dont smell fresh eitger. Im not a sweater and even sweating from workouts dont have this scent. I take a bath, use my normal body wash, put my deodarant on and 3 hours later I have this "havent showered today scent" is this an issue due to surgery?

Wow....Im 7 weeks out and I still have one site on the left that still has soreness.

When I slime its 5 or 10 mins after I haven eaten. My mouth starts to fill with a clear but thick fluid. When Im dumping Its nausea time ten. A heavy feeling under my chest with sharp pains. Stomach feels like its churning and I feel like if I can jusy burp it would possibly save my life. Last between 45 min to an hour. I usually go to sleep and feel really tired afterwards.

Im 7 weeks out and I get absolutely hungry. I have to have something. Althoigh after 3 bites, Im good. 3 hours later Im hungry, I mean stomach growling, empty feeling, headache, getting grouchy with the kids hunger.

Im 6 weeks out and I honestly dont know WHAT I wrigh now. I dont own a scale. What I do know is that I feel better than I have in a while. My blood pressure has been wonderful. I dont wake up with the little white dots swimming and the migraine headaches anymore.

Oh no....we dump. Just not to the extreme. Its not bad, my doctor told me thats what I was experiencing. Only do it however, when I decide to cheat.

So greatful to see Fishy banned.

How far out were you when you were able to eat fried foods. I have to confess that I didnt realize or understand the long term limitations on what I could eat. Im 6 weeks out, I havent tried fried foods but I want to but cannot mentally deal with the thought of a possible dumping episode.

You are so right....when I thought about it, its the salt and crunch that I want....definately going to try the Kale chips....the asparagus Im baking now....gotta try that one

I know I should give it up too....Just having a hard time with it.

Thats going to be my plight I fear. I cant stop my severe craving for fried chicken, fried fish, fried porkchops.....right now Id eat a fried napkin.

Id kill to have lost 53 lbs. Im 5 weeks out and have barely lost 12 lbs...getting a,little discouraged.
