BDME

The good thing is that it’s winter. I have been living in Leggings and now all my sweaters that used to be snug are “oversized” so I can still wear them and look decent.

I had to do 2 rounds of the antibiotics before t as all clear. The upside is all the antibiotics do wonders for you skin. My skin was the clearest I think it’s ever been in my adult life.

That’s probably why. Every other starch I’ve tried has been fine but rice tore me up. It was bad! So I’d say avoid it for as long as you can. It’s not even worth it. Happy 7 weeks!

Thanks everyone for your replies! I’ve definitely not experienced dumping and I hope I never do it sounds terrible!!

I started at a 18/20 now I am a 16 bottom and I can comfortably fit into most size 14 or L/XL tops (depending on the boob room) I noticed my pants getting bigger about 3 weeks out 4 weeks was that weird time where I was falling out of my 18’s but squeezing into a 16. I am 8 weeks out and comfortably in a 16. Hopefully in another 6/8 weeks I’ll be comfortably in a 14, maybe even a 12 since I can work out now.

Can someone explain to be what dumping is, what the symptoms feel like, and if it’s a common problem with VSG?

I am 2 months post and spicy food doesn’t bother me at all. I get heartburn almost like clockwork in the morn about an hour after I wake up afternoon between 1 and 2 and at night around 7. Doesn’t matter what I eat so I know it’s not spice related.

I use Jergens firming lotion for the loose skin ( I don’t really have any yet but I’m being proactive) and I use Bio Oil for the stretch marks and it has worked wonders. Cheaper than mederma and in my option works better and faster

I’m two months post today, feeling great overall and I’m down almost 50lbs. Just discovered today that my pouch + rice = disaster so I will not be trying that again anytime soon. I was never a big rice fan anyway so I’m unbothered. Hope everyone else is doing well!

You’re amazing for waiting a year for sweets. I’m a little under 2mo post and I had a piece of pie today. But back on the grind tomorrow!

Thanks, I️ wasn’t trying to be rude I️ just always get scared when ppl say they don’t take their vitamins cuz of the horror stories I’ve heard. I️ don’t judge ppls food choices cuz I legit had pizza the other day I️ was just concerned is all

Berry78 I’m laughing because as a kid my mom was having none of that. I️ ate what was put in front of me or I️ didn’t eat at all.

@Bellabloom please take your vitamins!!!! There are stories of people who have died a year or more after surgery because their organs just shut down from malnutrition.

Oh yeah my BM’s are normal I’m like a month post. I️ just ate some things I️ shouldn’t have and that old familiar heavy feeling came back and I️ really wanted to get rid of it

You look great!
