That much sugar would make me dump. You are so lucky.

Im sorry. I usually have not had any problems at all with dumping. But last night i was eating a Jello pudding cup sugar free and after the 2nd bite i just knew i was going to throw up. Not sure why. But my mouth started to get all watery my chest started hurting the pain in my upper abdomen started quivering and owwww i was hurting lasted about 10 mins never threw up. I think it was cuz i was full. But it had been almost 2 hours since i had dinner.< /p>

I track everything in mfp... Honestly all I focus on is hitting 75-85g of Protein a day... I don't even pay attention to calories and fat... I do know I usually am in the 600-700 cal a day range... Surgery 12-10-12... Down 112lbs so far... I must be doing something right

Awesome job!!!

I have no clue and it might not have been dumping. I have horrible Constipation due to lack of fluids. So the only thing I did different was besides my 2-3 times a week Miralax I took 3 days ago 2 dulcalax.

I still have UTI. Onto a new prescription. Also I'm dehydrated. Not a good day. :(

DOS 12/17/12 :)

Sorry to hear that Nicole. I hope new Rx works for you.

I had some blood work to check something's mainly my kidney functioning since my hospitalization. All was normal but potassium was a little low. Dr told me to start eating a banana a day, lol. Next Thursday I go back in so that for a redraw cuz I think my electrolytes were in normal area but low. The Nurse said he wanted to recheck my electrolytes and potassium. So good news from Dr office today, I guess you can say that. Nothing major anyways :-)

My husband ordered himself a pizza for dinner tonight. Part of me is annoyed, because I feel like it's kind of rude to order a pizza and eat it in front of me, but on the other hand, he shouldn't have to give up his favorite foods just because I made this lifestyle change. He's one of the lucky ones, blessed with being naturally thin. Jerk. :P

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
