This Old Jenn

I had to do a 6 month weight loss program before my surgery, I gave up sweets, drank mainly water, and because I was insulin resistant, went on a medication called Wegovy. I lost 80 pounds pre surgery. But I knew I needed to lose more and I needed the lifestyle to be less of a choice and more a have to. Sugar was my bane - now if I were to eat sugar I risk dumping syndrome which sounds rather unpleasant. My pain was minimal, but I know mileage varies. Best of luck on your journey, whatever way you go.

I just found my way here. I had my roux en y on March 22. Things are mostly going ok. Last night I took a sip of water to take a medication (nothing new or different) then a tiny bite of sugar free jello and suddenly I had so much pressure in the middle of my chest I was scared for a minute that I was having a heart attack. Then my mouth started watering and I really thought I was going to throw up… but all I did was spit out the saliva a couple times and it started to pass. No idea what that was about. Hope it doesn’t happen again. Later I took another med just fine.
