Had my first Dumping Syndrome incident. Made the kids come red velvet and white chocolate chip cookies. Snuck ONE tiny one. I PAID FOR IT BIG TIME!! 24 hours of hell!!

I was told to count anything with liquid as fluid intake. Not just water. So Jello, protein shake, etc.. So 64oz of fluids

Had my surgery also on the 27th. Lost 16 pounds the first week. Doing so good doc already moved me onto the puree stage after 1 week. I'm slowly figuring out what I like pureed. BUT the cravings good lord. I just want a slice of pizza, what if I pureed it? LOL. But also, NOT HUNGRY AT ALL!! Not going to lie. Craving were so bad I literally would chew something I couldn't have and spit it out. I just wanted the taste so bad! Homemade sauces(apple and pear) with Stevia added. YUMMY!! Made a version of chicken salad with light mayo, lactaid cottage cheese, pepper, salt, garlic powder and celery powder. YUMM!! Made Pureed cauliflower that tastes better than mashed potatoes and pureed Brussel sprouts to get the fiber. Just experiment but stay away from spicy foods and very acidic foods.

I was sleeved on October 27th. I was released after a day. Released for work after 1 week. My journey started in April with the first office visit. I was at my heaviest at 340lbs. Stuck to the low fat/carb high protein diet for six months and was down to 309lbs at surgery time. 9 Days post-op down to 291lbs. Doc put me on pureed food after week 1. Having trouble finding things appetizing. Think I am getting acid reflux but I have never had it before and don't know what it feels like. Anyone help?
