Chili, chili, chili... White chicken chili, regular, turkey... Mmmm. I work 12 hour night shift and I throw all my stuff in the crockpot and take a nap. When I wake up, my house is filled with amazing smells and yummy food. And it's freezable and fridge safe

I've heard from some Pts, aveno skin firming works good- but it's mostly the rubbing motion that gets things circulating and firming. Scrub with a loofa to get the dead skin cells off, that will let the new stuff out.

alliegb3 replied to Shilo30's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
There are some foods that's 'shoot through' at an ungodly pace- I guess u can call that dumping, but like I said, it ain't like bypass (thank goodness) or at least not the severity of bypass... (or smell, no offense to bp people) -

Puking=not dumping. Dumping usually refers to the shooting of a food into the toilet bowl via bottom. In the bariatric hospital where I work, it is different -

I suppose I associate dumping with gastric bypass. That's really different than what sleevers experience. Ours is nothing compared to theirs. -

Not Sure I Can Do This
alliegb3 replied to bogeydog's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
