vicki s

yep, sounds like me...

I am anywhere between 1200 and 1500 cals a day, ive done as many as 2000 a couple times...

This is crazy to me! I am 7 months out and can easily eat 1300 + calories if I wanted to. I have track it all or I will eat to much.

That's exactly how I am... If I don't track, I could easily probably reach 1800 calories/day. I have to watch every bite that goes in to my mouth.

Dh=dear husband

LOL..for some reason, I always thought it meant dumb husband!!

I have been doing badly since thanksgiving too...I was just thinking about it and when i look back on my fitness pal it proves it....It was just like I feel off the wagon and cant get back on...one party after another..one dinner after another...I hate holidays, and now I feel like I cant get back on track!!...

I wish y'all a merry Christmas to. N if we happen too slip jus remember to get back on the wagon the next day.. Another thing..... I will not eat spaghetti again!!! It came up 3x after it went down. ) so no more. That 2 things I can't eat. Hamburger n spaghetti..oh well I don't need them any way.

Woohoo! I'm there too.

Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Am overweight today!! YAY!!!!!!! my BMI hit 29.95 today so i am no longer obese!! whoopie!!....

Im getting mine out tomorrow morning at 7:30...have to be there by 5:30...im scared after reading these posts!!...lol...did anyone stay overnight or did everyone go home the same day?

Well pouch size is normal and stoma size is normal according to the X-ray.

Doesn't make any sense :-/ The radiologist will now send a report to my surgeon and who knows where we go from there.

I'm really confused as to how I have no restriction which, let's face it, is a massive part of the reason we have this operation.

Good luck Uk...sometimes I feel the same as you...i have to watch, or I will over eat...please keep me posted...xxxx

So, I've mentioned before that I have no restriction and tomorrow I'm having a barium X-ray to see 1) the size of the pouch 2) the size of the stoma and 3) the rate at which the pouch empties.

Just wondering if anyone else has been in this situation and what happened?

Good luck UK....let us know how you are doing!!!

totally normal, if I had a nickle for everytime I heard this story, including myself, I would be rich LOL....don't fret, in about 4-6 weeks if not sooner, you will be over the moon....hormones, anesthesia, etc, will reek havoc on your emotions, it gets better every day... I was also on coumadin and lovonox, had a blood clot in my right leg and left lung and now have a greenfield filter...the wt loss also helps with this, so another bonus of WL, surgery....hang in there, and vent whenever you feel the need!!

Vicki, I don't know you but I love you!! Lol. Thank you!! Sometimes validation of one's feelings makes all the difference in the world. I really appreciate the kind words, they mean a lot...especially from a fellow "clot sister"

No prob...LOL...it is hard in the beginning, I get it....you will be ok in a couple weeks, I promise!...xxxxx

Im having mine out on the 16th....

yay Kinsee!!!! congratulations...

So sorry Music...but walking 5k is still 5k, be proud of yourself, I can hardly walk 1 mile...I am proud of you!!

_{my surgery was aug 1st, and i have only lost 36 lbs, i seem to be the slowest loser on this thread...}

I am only down 35 lbs too....groan.....

• Same here....

I was at my daughters for thanks giving, we had supper and then there was desert.......well, I had a sliver of pumpkin pie followed by two chocolate covered stawberries....this is the first time i have indulged since my surg..aug 1st....My heart started pounding like i had way too much caffien, and then I felt nauseated...it lasted about an hour or more...no gas, no diahrrea, ......Was this dumping??

Mine is coming out on 12/16 too, am a bit nervous

Thanks for sharing, love it!

I think I may have had dumping yesterday, but it happened soon after I had a Protein Drink which I have had before,,but i did drink it pretty quick,,,then I got sick and felt nauseas and had diarrhea and felt sick the rest of the night with such severe stomach pain i almost went to the ER...anyone know if this was dumping or just a fluke?

Hi..unfortunately I lost the twins. It's been rough and just heartbreaking. Right now I don't know what the future holds..if even another chance will exist. I'm trying to heal emotionally and focus of the positive steps I'm making forward.
