I'm surprised your team does not know any sleevers who dump (my doc told me there was a chance I could still dump when I told him one of the reasons I wanted sleeve was that I didn't want to dump)! It may not be as big a percentage of the RNY-ers (don't know much about the other surgeries out there, though), but I know I'm not the only sleever on here that dumps. And yeah, you are lucky

Everyone will react differently. With that said my first ever dumping was about 1.5 months post op from drinking like less than 1 fl oz of some lemon sake/soju drink. Edited to add: oh and I'm a sleeve

@MarvelGirl25 : I think you need to host a Ted Talk and school us on international cuisine.

While one can definitely ask someone else to behave a certain way or speak in a certain way, its up to that person to decide if they will. You can only truly manage yourself and your own reactions. If you don't like what someone has to say, block them.

That's highly likely, smoking weed tends to bring out the munchies in people (especially pot with high THC counts), and for those who have trouble ignoring the munchies, its a slippery slope.

omg. I don't know why I never thought of this...I probably need to drink some water or take in some fuel to run longer!! All this time I have been running without water/fuel breaks, duh. ....aslo, is someone training for a half marathon?????

Today's first salad of the day, I put it in the new salad bowl Mr. got me and it looks especially delicious, no? It's like an OOTD for salad, LOL. Salad greens + vinaigrette + cucumber + carrots + grapes + 2.5 oz chicken. Ate it all. 155 calories.

😉

Weird, this is the second marijuana-related thread I've come across just today, LOL. Anyway, I've used CBD oil for sleep and/or relaxation once in while...maybe like once a month, or every two months, so not very often. Seems to work fine for me...no high, no hunger, no stomach issues.

@jayali: what kind of surgery did you have? Also, another poster ( @Arabesque ) was asking about "stomach stretching" on another thread...just linking her up to this thread as an FYI...

I like this one.

Too much sugar

#myHero !!! I have a mental block with 10km (6.21 miles), my body is like "I'm DONE".

It's funny because I seem not to mind showing my bare boob on here, but I think I'm a little shy to wear those teeny-weeny triangle bikini tops in public, LOL. The tan crochet one with the string bikini type top in my basket is already making me nervous...

Reading this made me hungry. Looks like Instant Pot beef stew is on the menu tonite....

Too Late. I got rid of it yesterday, LOL. I hate keeping food that no one will eat.

I'm from Canada, and I got mine from the govertment-operated website which, at the time I bought it, was the only place we can get it legally up here, unless it's doctor prescribed...which mine isn't. Unless you get some word-of-mouth recommendations from people in your state, you may have to do some trial and error, which may get expensive though... Is yours prescribed? Can you ask your doctor for recommendations? P.S. I've tried the non-flavoured oil as well. I am NOT a fan. P.P.S. Also make sure you look at the percentage of CBD in any product...this may be why your first one didn't work?

During weight loss phase I didn't eat any fruit, save for one time early on that I ate like 2 tsp of my mom's fruit salad and had a serious dumping episode. Once in maintenance, blueberries are my go-to fruit. I will also have other berries, and I may have a 1/4 of an apple or like 5-10 grapes in my salads sometimes as well. Very rarely anything else.

^^ This. Even if its just around your kitchen, get up and do it every hour, without fail. It may hurt and you may not want to, but do it anyway. You should be seeing your doc soon for a follow-up, yes? Make sure to bring it up with them. ❤️

Can you get CBD oil? No sugar, and depending on what the manufacturer uses as base oil, calories would range from 5-20 calories per dropperful. I have a peppermint CBD oil spray, which I've used sporadically for relaxation/sleep and more recently for post-plastics pain management, and it does not make me stoned, nor hungry, nor sick to my stomach. Edited to add: Also, I would stay away from smoking in the early days as it hampers healing. Though ideally, just stay away from smoking at all ❤️

I had ass pain from sitting in the early months as well. If you can stand it, do some squats and other butt exercises to put some padding back on. It may take a while, but I think it works. I started doing them semi-regulary starting Feb 2019, and then full-on-regularly since Aug 2019. I no longer have sitting-ass pain (and while my butt still looks pan-cakey, its less so than before, LOL). P.S. I HATE squats, but I do them anyway.

... I want that held-together feeling back that my steri-stips gave me too!!! Man, so much conflicting information. I wish there was a standard everyone can agree on . K, new decision: I'm going to wait until the weekend, and if I'm still scabby & pink AND the achiness hasn't gone away, then I'm going to try the silicone sheets for 2 days and see if that makes me feel better...

LOL, i've recently discovered Jordan's Skinny Girl line of sugar-free flavoured syrups that I put in my coffee or tea or cup of almond milk #yummie.
