Hi y'all.

I am almost 2 weeks out from a revision from a Lapband to RNY. I'm still on soft foods. I have had horrible, diarrhea still, so today I tried to go to Sweet Frogs, a frozon yogurt place. They have sugar free yogurt, my question is about 15-20 after eating it I had all the symptoms if dumping, can you get dumping from natural sugar? 2nd question is anyone know how long the diarrhea lasts? I might have to invest in some Depends, ewwe, lol. Thanks again, Talia

Oh yes!! Some even dump on sugar alcohols. It depends on your system how long it lasts. Be careful. :-)

I dont puke or poo from my dumping...but oh how I wish I could. For me its nausea, cramping, dizziness, hot flashing. Lying down is the only option.

Unfortunately, sugar is sugar - your body makes no distinction between natural and any other kind. Some folks will experience dumping from fats or carbs as well. There really are no absolutes and the only way you can determine what your body will tolerate (and what it won't) is to try it.

Some days I can take the chantix and some days not...i hate to stop since I have 2 months smoke free..I smoked for 33 yrs and don't want to fall back in that habit! Vicodin I'm cutting into fourths but I take 3 at a time so I'm trying to really get 12 pills down..the liquid loritab gags me...I've been able to quit my blood pressure pills and the prilosec

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
