Performed the watermelon 🍉 test tonight. Definitely sliderish, but still felt my restriction... eventually

Yay!!! That seems like a perfect amount that you ate? Were you hungry soon after? Any dumping symptoms? Gosh, I miss watermelon!

So far I've tried a bite of melon and a bite of cantaloupe. So dang scared of the dump! I had one this weekend that lasted like 6 hours--I couldn't get my bg up enough. :( Lesson learned...carb blockers and RNYs do not go together. :(

Yes, it felt like a satisfying amount. :) No dumping (but my dumping is pretty unpredictably random, and thankfully rare). I actually wasn't hungry after, which is surprising cause I'm a hungry hungry hippo these days.

My first thought was, "oh, that sucks, I'm sorry @FluffyChix!"

But then my second thought was .... "Ohhhh ... do carb blockers actually work!?! Give me the details!"

Please make sure you have a glucose meter before doing this. It hits suddenly and when it does, you MUST get sugar into you. Carbs won't help cuz they're being blocked. This only blocks starchy carbs. So I took sugar tablets and small spoons of Peanut Butter (that has sugar in it) to pull myself out before it went into the 50s from the low 60s. It's been as low as 36 before. :( (Not from a carb blocker, from an unknown sugar in food that didn't taste sweet.)

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

      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
