We just took them outside and what a damn ordeal! Thought it would be easier to have it done at the same time but it is work! They walk into EVERYTHING! hehe

Lol wait till one of the cones hits your shin or catches you just right in the back of the knee.

Typically it only lasts a few hours and starts either 30-60 minutes after eating, or, for late dumping, 1-3 hours after eating. A bite of a tart isn't typically going to be a large enough carbohydrate load to make you dump, even if made with sugar.....you'd have to have a large spoonful of pure sugar (for a point of reference, 1 cube of sugar has 2 grams of carbs, most dumpers require a carb load of 15+ grams, so 7 cubes of pure sugar, more or less).

Maybe a cumulative effect of the entire meal out irritated your gut or maybe a bug? No telling! Stay hydrated and hope it passes soon!!!!

This week has been completely blah in the food department for me. Living with my parents is rough. They have been doing a lot of fried foods lately. Need a reset tomorrow!

Back in the hospital...having weird TIA stroke - like symptoms. Now they think they're atypical Migraines. Very disconcerting.

      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.
