Dumping syndrome I believe is when something you eat comes almost immediately out the other end! In one big dump! Hah! I have only had it happen to me once... After I ate a lot if watermelon.

57 is awesome! I'm down 52 but just came off a three week stall! Finally moving the scale again! Have you hit a stall yet!??

You are by no means a failure!! Everyone reacts differently the first few weeks are the hardest! Next month you will start to feel normal! It's so worth the aggravation!! I was sleeved 4\23 and Just came off a three week stall!! Talk about aggravating! The scale is moving again 4 lbs down in two days! I finally made it to an XL!! yeah! Hang in there it gets better!!

How are you guys doing? I had mine the 23rd of april and just broke a three week stall!

I had my sleeve done in Saratoga NY with Doc Baranov! Love him! Looking for some buddies to chat with and compare with! Also if anyone is interested I need someone to go to the gym with! Have planet fitness membership and I can bring a friend free!! Thanks!!

This is an old post but I was sleeved in Saratoga!

Finally broke my stall!! It was weird though because my clothes were getting loose even though My pounds weren't going down! My size 20 jeans I bought are getting loose!! Woot! Clearance jeans! lol I would just wear my stretchy shorts but I ride the motorcycle with the hubby so I need at least one pair of jeans! Going to wait until I fit into 16 to get another pair and hopefully these 20's will last till then! haha! Thanks for helping me through that!! Thanks! I'm waiting impatiently!! Hahaha grrrr I'm glad to know its normal though!

Good luck today everyone!! Remember... Walk walk walk!!!!

Mean people suck! But they are out there and sometimes don't even realize they are being mean! Take it with a grain of salt. The helpful kind people FAR outweigh (No pun intended) the mean ones! ; ) I have gotten so much help during my journey on here!! I am so happy I found this site!

I agree.. I haven't seen any type of bullying with the threads I have been reading? I have learned so much from this site and have met a lot of kind helpful people. It made my post op and pre op phases so much easier!! It's hard because there is no voice inflection in typed words and just like text sometimes they are misunderstood. I would certainly hope this is the case.

It's possible?? Who knows but I have no stress and have been stalled for two and a half weeks now!! It's annoying!! Hahah

I was at my brothers and my little niece said "aunt Denise I weigh 50 lbs!" That's how much I have lost! Hahaha

I have my sons wedding in October!! Get moving scale!! Haha

CW 220 GW 210! Although unrealistically I would LOVE to break past the 200 barrier!! Haha thanks so much Bea for your hard work on this!

Start of the third week I could add tuna with mayo on either 1/4 to 1/2 piece of toast or one to two crackers.... Not saltines.... Also salmon packaged with mayo or whatever condiment I wanted and 1/2 to a while scrambled egg .. Of course I add catsup!! : )

What are you eating? If you are eating slider foods you can over eat!! Are you drinking while you are eating? This can push the food out! My diet for the second week was cottage cheese, applesauce... But I couldn't eat it.... Mashed potatoes loose... And oatmeal low sugar and cream of wheat... I got little two ounce plastic cups and filled them up and pulled one out to eat! This way to ensure I didn't over filly new tummy!

No regrets!!! Pain on the second day was all gas!! I didn't walk enough!!! Walk walk walk... It breaks up the gas!! But I had two c sections and this was a walk in the park comparatively!! But I got better drugs then!! Haha

When I get a sweet tooth I have some watermelon!! It's sweet and crunchy and not aweful for you!! My doc took me off protein shakes after the second week! It forces me to chose to eat protein before anything else! : )

That's awesome!! I got down 50 lbs and have been on a stall for two weeks!! Stalls suck but it helps to see others get through them!! ; ) I stopped taking the omeprezole and my doc will probably not be happy but every time I took it my stomach hurt! I am still taking everything else except the calcium which I have a hard time swallowing. : ( I probably should get a pill cutter I guess!! So we are running about the same! : )

Oh good to know it will move again!! Haha I am at 220 and want to see 219 sooooo bad I can taste it!! Literally!! Haha I'm trying to get my water in but it's not easy at all!! Ugh! Move scale move!! Thanks for giving me some hope!! ; )

Thanks! I'm waiting impatiently!! Hahaha grrrr I'm glad to know its normal though!

He wants all calories to come from food now not liquids and he wants me to eat protein first then if room vegetables and if room... Hardly ever... Carb. Drink anything zero calorie and non carbonated in between meals.. Three meals a day.

I am a month and a few days! My doc took me off all protein shakes the start of the third week! He wants all my calories to come from food and not liquids now. I have to drink and thing non carbonated and zero calorie in between meals. Three meals a day.. No liquids 30 min before a meal or 1 hour after a meal.

My doc only required me to do liquid diet three days before surgery. They have to put in a fifth incision to put a paddle in and hold up your liver. My surgery went perfect and I am 4 weeks out and a few days and my tummy is doing fine. Just make sure you tell your doc. I'm sure it should be fine just do your best. I got wonton soup one day and gave away the wonton and sipped the broth!! Haha it was gooood!
