Help so sick



Recommended Posts

I made the mistake of thinking I could eat candy Corn and it would be ok. I ate 5. Oh my goodness gracious. Wrong!!! I feel so bad. Wow. I cannot believe it. How long does this last?

In RNY surgery they cut away the part of your stomach that process fats and sugars. Eating these will cause dumping syndrome. After about a year, your intestines will adapt and begin to perform the function that your stomach once did. Your intestines will then be able to convert fats and sugars and you will not longer experience dumping syndrome. Although if you want to maintain your weight loss, you may want to avoid the sugars.

Dumping has happened to me a couple of times. Once was my fault. I think I'm getting sick and I'm not sure what caused a dumping episode this past weekend. I'm just being really careful because I'm scared to have it happen again.

At three months out, I haven't experienced it yet, and hope I never do. What I like is that the "fear" of it is helping keep me on track.

      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.
