Had to happen. Bound to happen

I ate a half a falafel

I am totally paying for it.

Dumping syndrome and I hope to never repeat that again.

Oh Lordy.

Sorry to hear you have experienced dumping. The first time I did, I also never wanted to go through it again. Unfortunately, I have also learned that this can occur when you eat "good foods". It is a learning process to know your triggers. For example, I can eat chocolate (M&M's are my weakness) without dumping but watermelon is off my menu. Also it is a quantity issue. I can have a small amount of ice cream but as soon as I have too much, my heart races and I know its time to stop.

So glad I can eat falafels without dumping cause it's not fun. I have sleeve yet still dump if I eat sugary foods. So cake, ice cream, even honey nut Cheerios with milk get me nauseous and heart palpitating. I feel yucky for about an hour. Thank goodness doesn't happen with sangria - probably because sugar+fat causes it not either by itself. I am glad for it though because I used to be a binge eater of sugary carbs etc and now not only restriction but dumping keeps me in check. Usually it can stop me from eating it in the first place. Once I took a video of myself after I are mint chocolate ice cream as a reminder of how yucky I felt. That video prevents me from eating more than a teaspoon of ice cream.

I didn't know I had gallstones until they were discovered on my my pre-op abdominal ultrasound. Doc told me I have probably been having attacks for years when I ate fried foods but didn't know what they were. I said I didn't eat much fried food so I didn't know- then remembered how incredibly sick I got the last few times I had falafel! They removed my gallbladder when they did my sleeve and I am hoping some day I will be a

ble to eat falafel again because I do love it!

      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.
