The same thing happened to me, I thought it was late dumping, but it turned out the dry heaving was a sign I was hungry. My stomach doesn't growl when I'm hungry I get nausea and dry heaving. Our mind tells us that because we are dry heaving that we must be sick so we don't eat. Next time try eating right after and you might feel better.

I would say go for it. The skin on the top of your foot shouldn't change much.

I guess it's good that you feel guilty about it. If you didn't feel guilt you'd be more likely to keep up the behavior.

You are gorgeous!!!! You need to stop wearing those caps and let your hair hang.

I would say it depends on where you are getting it.

I have Tricare Prime and I wasn't required to do anything by Tricare. My doctor required blood work and a sleep study. I had surgery July 18th. My doctor gave me the Tricare requirements and it only stated that you be over 100 lbs over weight and a bmi of 40 or higher.

I used to live in Plano. I really miss it. I'm trying to get back there.

Have you experienced dumping before? Trust me, NOTHING is worth it. The cravings probably won't go away but your will power will grow and you'll be proud.

Often WE tend to justify our actions because of certain events. Just remember the reason you had the surgery and where those foods got US in the first place. food is comforting to US, but it is also our silent killer. Although you may only be eating small portions, it still isn't healthy for you. WE have to get to OUR goal weight. WE have to live a better life, we have to LIVE. Eating the wrong foods will kill US. This forum is an excellent source of encouragement and motivation and I commend you for putting your situation on here because it will help someone else. Oh and once you experience dumping for the first time...I PROMISE you won't eat or drink what you aren't supposed to. Dumping for me is the most horrific experience. Imagine an angry Smurf wearing shoes with spikes on the bottom tap dancing on your pouch, with his buddy the kibbler elf tightening a wrench around it, not to mention tinkerbell with a plunger down your throat forcing whatever you just ate or drank back up and nothing coming up. NOT PLEASANT. I do not want this to happen to you. Head back to those glorious liquids (the recommended ones) and enjoy your new journey...sans dumping. Keep us posted on your progress and welcome to the losers circle.

OMG....I just pulled out my license. I TOO WEIGH LESS THAN MY DRIVERS LICENSE SAYS. That deserves a fist pump, a slow clap, and a hell yeah!!!!
