Do NOT do what I just did



Recommended Posts

OK so I ate quite a few peanut M&M's (used to be my favourites), maybe about 2 handsfull (easter treat to my children!) about 15 min later felt really ill, nauseous, tachicardic, dizzy,threw up, quite a bit of watery chocolate and then just gastric Fluid, but it felt horrendous, what I would describe as dumping, now still feel tachycardic and really dizzy so I had to come to lay in bed. I have a headache now as well, please think twice before indulging on your kids easter eggs :(

Oh no! I will head the warning. My son gave me a little egg stuffed with Skittles in it. I think I'll pass on it. Hope you feel better.

WOW! I'm surprised that happened to you so far out from surgery. A couple handsful doesn't seem extreme to me when you're almost a year out. Have you had moderate amounts of sweets before and been okay?

I don't really eat sweets that much,if I have a few sweets, maybe 3 or 4 I'm fine. A few weeks ago I was making a cake and just trying the mix and whipped cream had the same effect, not as bad as today though. I was just looking at the pack to see how much approx I had, it was prob about 60 gr (the small pack has 45 gr) so it was quite a bit.

Oh my Lovely,

I hope you are feeling better... what a nasty side effect from a 'nice treat' - I too love peanut M&Ms - hope you're feeling better.

Do you think the hot weather might have had something to do with it. along with the sugar rush... It is soooo hot and sunny down here (that is not me complaining by the way) - but I have noticed that my fingers and ankles have swollen and earlier when I was digging in the garden I felt really light headed...

Have you had enough fluids?

Take it easy; you know where I am if you need a chat xx

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
