Callling all slow losers...

OK, so normally I am bleating on about how crap it is to be a slow loser, or that I am in another stall... so, as I am trying to regain my positive attitude, glass being half full again and all that... I thought I would start a thread that lists all the good things about being a slow loser.

Any comments, ideas or just a good thing...

Good things about being a slow loser

* gives skin a chance !!

* easier to keep the sleeve a secret if you haven't told anyone

* the weight will stay off (?)

Hey... size 14-12 is good ... I can't wait to be there!! You are soooooo close to goal... that must feel really good!

I am loving the gym at the moment... it doesn't actually hurt anymore...lol

What exercise have you been doing? mine is mainly good old fashioned fat burning with a few weights chucked in for good luck! My daughter wants me to go to Zumba with her on Thursday.... that should be fun!

Just thought I would have a wuick check in.... no weight loss so far this week, but my offical day is sat so I am hoping that all the exercise I have been doing will show a lil loss !!

Had a weird day today... I think I had that dumping thing... I went really dizzy, started to sweat - a lot- went very hot and very cold and my head felt cloudy... within halkf and hour I had a really bad headache and felt sick! Foolishly I treated myself to 1 choc (from a Dairy Milk Box) and one sugar in my coffee at break ... although it wasn't THAT much sugar it is more than I am used to! Could that have been the cause?

Feel better now ... all symptoms went by 3pm! Talk about feeling guilty ... went to Zumba tonight!

You'll get em coops, no worries!! Saturday is still 2 days away.

Your issue sounds almost like what I went through when I drank milk awhile back. I think us sleevers tummies are a little bit more sensitive than pre-sleeve. As far as it being full on dumping syndrome I don't know. Some say it is not because RNY pts get it from the rerouting of the intestine which we do not have.

All I know is that one episode scared me from ever drinking milk again, and this includes ice cream. Can't be mad about not having ice cream ever again!! I haven't craved any in so long now...

Well, dumping isn't necessarily only for RNY patients...or any patients for that matter. You can have dumping syndrome even without ever having surgery and I myself had it many times after an "extensive" restaurant visit. I remember many times where I was telling my husband if he doesn't put the pedal to the metal we'll have a big mess at our hands.

For me, it was after eating probably too greasy, too carby foods and was always coming with hot and cold sweats, dizziness and then...well, dumping.

Yea Susanne... got all that but without the actual dumping...lol... thankfully cos I was in work surrounded by teenagers!

The rest of the day hasn't been much better food wise... way too many carbs today and I just feel a little 'blugh'. I am sure tomorrow will be better though!
