surgery date june 25 2012 weight day of surgery 310 current weight 171 as of dec 6 2012 (i never weigh myself at home) highest weight 354

you are welcome and i live in alabama and everything here is related to food too

dec 25 was my 6 mo surgery anniversary. ive lost 139lbs. here are some of my confessions: i never weigh myself at home if i want something thats sweet or fried or greasy i eat a small amt without guilt i drink regular coffee on occasion i still see a very fat woman when i look in the mirror i miss shopping at lane bryant because all the salespeople knew me i watch my 600lb life marathons on tv and cry i cry when i see old pictures of myself i miss being able to eat and drink at the same

no this is really me ... lol!

ive noticed sex has been much more pleasurable that is until my husband goes into beast bang mode. at times it can make me have several orgasms back to back. other times it feels like he goes way too deep way too hard. I went to my gyno and I am perfectly healthy and non injured. I thought switching to me on top would help but even flat on his back he bucks like a mad man. have any of you ladies experienced deep penetration discomfort since wls? Also has anyone else realized the hugeness of their husbands penis after wls? btw I reached the 100lbs total lost about 2 wks ago and he is really giving it to me like im someone new.

My jeans that im holding up had actually gotten too tight for me when I had my surgery june 25. I do not make it a habit of weighing myself regularly because it puts me in a bad place mentally. I still see my wls once a month so im fine being weighed only once a month. Ive gone from wearing size 28/30 to 16/18. Ive been having great results alternating strength training with cardio so that im not just a smaller version of my fat self but a better shaped smaller version of myself. I can eat small amounts of just about anything but I focus on protein and I still supplement my diet with my protein shakes.

Egg salad (eggs and mayo only) is what did it the first time. Ranch salad dressing is what did it the second time. Usually people will tell you to avoid sweets and greasy foods but i havent tried anything sweet or greasy. It varies from person and from what ive read the majority of sleeve patients will not have to worry about dumping. The correct term is rapid gastric emptying. My dr told me i probably ate too fast but i know i will never eat anything with mayo or ranch again

My heart began racing...i broke out into a cold sweat. Then came the diarrhea and vomiting at the same time. Once that subsided and i attempted to stand up i almost passed out. I am the mother of 6 children and the 2 dumping episodes i experienced were the most physically terrifying experience ive ever gone thru. I was convinced at those moments that if my husband had not thought to check on me i wouldve died on the bathroom floor. Looking back i know thats not true but the sheer terror of it cannot be forgotten.

Im a sleever and yes it is possible for us to dump. Ive had 2 episodes.

@jasleeve.... I only had 2 episodes of being sick I can only imagine what you are going thru.

The texture of scrambled eggs is unnerving to me but i did chop a boiled egg over my spinach this morning and enjoyed that quite a bit

Ive lost 57lbs since surgery

Dumping is actually rapid gastric emptying. For me I broke out in a sweat about 10 min after eating egg salad. I theb had vomiting and diarhea at the same time, dizzyness and almost passed out.
