Do sugar substitutes cause dumping
Late MIL favorite mint was Velamints, she would eat them and eat them and then you could locate her in just one place, yeah and she would say " I just don't know why I am going SO MUCH?" I did!

Liquid intake worries!
Struggling this AM, trying to drink down my Strawberry Muscle Milk. Not tasting too good, telling myself I need it for the protein, so it is medicine. Longing for the day when other sources of protein can be re- lied on, I know I know stop brooding and get busy. But by 2 months I was hoping for a lot more fun than I am having.???

How did you pick your user name?
F.M.C., please do me a courtesy. Your post jogged my memories and sometimes they are not good. Okay? Please reassure your children it is not their fault,you and Daddy are not together. I am an only child and for years I believed it was My Fault. I was so terrible a child that they never wanted another. So I spent,most of my childhood and part of my youth trying to make it up to them. I wanted to be so perfect that they never would regret having me. I was 15 or 16 before I found out I was a miracle, the baby,doctors thought she would never have. Why wasn't. I told sooner? Brace yourself for this- my Daddy thought it wouldn't matter to ME. So keep all your lines of communication open, the ❤ you keep from breaking might be your child's.Nuff said?

September bypass buddies??
You know Sisters (and a Brother or 2) I'm a little apprehensive, when I get,a clean bill of health, and it has not happened yet, am I going to carefree eat? I have had so many puke-ups, fearful to try? And am I going to have to consult a bariatric psych to keep away an anorexic leaning? I had tried so hard, had things popping up and out my mouth, can I relax and keep it down? I know the SMH people are peeved when a poster says HELP but I do sincerely,mean it HELP!
