Dumping syndrome is actually a little different. Without being too graphical, it comes out the other end ....

What Have You Lost???
Mattymatt replied to FluffyChix's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
That means I've lost two tires. Sent from my Z981 using BariatricPal mobile app -
Eh, some folks struggled. I was one of those. The good news is that I'm 5 weeks post op and the journey is much smoother now. Sent from my Z981 using BariatricPal mobile app

I was thinking of trying one and see if it keeps my belly from flapping about while trying to run.

First Stall - less than 2 weeks after surgery???
Mattymatt replied to nycgirl18's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
It sounds like you're just on a stall. Just stick with it, keep moving forward, and the scale will begin to move again. -
It isn't an easy road but if you open up about your struggles, you will find a receptive audience here.

Is a compression shirt like an undershirt that you wear?

When you cross into a new hundreds mark it does feel really good. I remember from previous weight loss attempts that crossing below 300 felt really, really good.

No shame whatsoever. We're human and make mistakes. Now that much said, you need to contact your doctor about the vomitting because, my guess is, you're severely dehydrated.

Day 2 Post Op horrible gas pains !
Mattymatt replied to Jillianm17's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It took about 5 days for the gas pain to go away. Yes, it is very unpleasant but it is a rite of passage, so to speak. Walking is the single best way to get rid of the gas. I remember how relieving it was when I finally began to fart. -
First Stall - less than 2 weeks after surgery???
Mattymatt replied to nycgirl18's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
@nycgirl18 What procedure did you have? -
I had my first experience with dumping syndrome after trying a Greek Yogurt drink. I just looked at the protein and not the sugar content. Whoops! It's pretty unpleasant and a good lesson to learn. Thankfully, I was at home. This would've been embarrassing in a public restroom.

I get to tick off another morning at the gym. Make it a good start to the new week.
I want to try a spin class but I don't know if I can handle that just yet.

Right around the corner!

Is there anyone who doesn't stall? And if so...
Mattymatt replied to Apple203's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I haven't had a stall quite yet but I believe I am heading for one because I am not losing weight quite as quickly now. Maybe a pound every other day. I am now on the soft foods stage and I am probably 800-900 calories a day. I am also really starting to go to the gym now. Always protein first - chicken, tuna, turkey, greek yogurt, and stuff like that. Then fruits and vegetables. -
My goal is 190. It may be a stretch to get there but I sure will give it everything that I have.

The research is pretty clear that the lap band just doesn't work. There is a good number of people that undergo a revision surgery because the lap band did not work. Do yourself a favor and don't go that route. You don't want to have to undergo two major surgeries: go with a VSG, RNY, or even the DS.

So I forgot to look at the whole label
Mattymatt replied to Mattymatt's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Yeah, it wasn't prolonged. The dumping syndrome hit quickly and went quickly. -
Out With the Old--In With the New!
Mattymatt replied to FluffyChix's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
It sucks that every once in a while the hunger makes a resurgence. I am sorry you got into that situation but it's understandable. We're human, not perfect, and very worthwhile.
