Oh it was a week ago, I survive but my heart rate increased dramatically and I started cold sweats. No good at all. So bad I didn't even take pics inside the restaurant or even the food ( I only had the tea service) But here is me prior to the panna cotta incident I had no clue -
YAY!!!!!!

5 months post sleeve B: coffee with premier caramel shake then Greek yogurt Coffee Tea Water L: random lately (turkey, chicken, fish or lamb with veggies) or beans Coffee Tea Water S: Peanuts, Chocolate chips and raisins Coffee Tea Water D: random lately ( mostly beans , yogurt or re run from lunch ) Protein goals 60 g daily Though not focusing on it the past 3 weeks trying to head back towards vegan lifestyle Funny story I was on vacation and I tried authentic panna cotta (spelling ?) and had my first true dumping syndrome experience (without the release) So I'm hold up in this gorgeous Parisian bathroom looking at the frescos on the ceilings while sitting in the floor I thought I was dying but I appreciated the view Lesson learned I will never forget my new limits -

Thank you !!! Im struggling too but because it's a low manipulation hair style it appears better than it is I don't do much with it , just up in a bun but I'm sure if I was combing and brushing it would present worse I hope it slows down or stops for all of us

Can I still qualify for VSG with mild GERD?
GreenTealael replied to Jumanna's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Trust the knowledge of your surgeon, GERD has been know to get worse with VSG but cured with RNY (not always a rule though) If it gets worse you may need a revision -

2 weeks vsg post op & only lost 17 pounds
GreenTealael replied to Nikki46vsgjourney's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
A) work daily towards that goal , not everyone can meet it right away the scale can bounce around so look for NSV like lost inches C) I use alarms and timers on my phone or I would never know when I can transition D) some say it's there new full warning E) Everyone worries bit as long as you don't have complications (which you should tell your surgeon immediately) you should be fine Safe journey and Congrats on -17lbs That's a victory -
Hemp hearts are seed based and should not cause a reaction (someone please correct me if I'm wrong)

Very discouraged. Two weeks out and still stalled
GreenTealael replied to ElseeG's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I stall all the time, it's my new normal and I had to realize that weightless is not always a straight line downward like I would have hoped, but the benefit I keep hearing is it gives your skin time to catch up and shrink with you Be patient and stick to your plan
