  1. amm.imperial, Congrats on getting your approval. You can get the ticker by going to Weight Loss - Diet Ticker and following the instructions. It is pretty cool!:rolleyes2:
  2. I had my surgery in Conroe, Texas. I am 3 days post-op and I am so glad that I found this site yesterday! I've already had several of my questions answered just by reading other peoples' posts. Yesterday I was feeling really stressed and alone in this but today I am feeling a lot better about it. BTW, how do you get the weightloss ticker on your page?
  3. IndioGirl55 Thanks for your reply. I did call my doctor and he said it is from the hiatal hernia repair. It is causing a vaso-vagal response because of the swelling. He said to give it 4 or 5 more days without the jello or yogurt and try it again.
  4. I am just 2 days post-op and I am having a problem. Whenever I try to eat anything other than water, broth or juice, (ie: sugar free jello, low fat lite yogurt), my face turns bright red and gets hot and I get palpitations. What's up with that? Is this normal? Is it because my surgeon also repaired a hiatal hernia during the procedure? I was thinking that it might be related to the dump syndrome thing, but reading here it seems like it's not that. Am I trying the jello and yogurt too soon? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.
