We just took them outside and what a damn ordeal! Thought it would be easier to have it done at the same time but it is work! They walk into EVERYTHING! hehe

Lol wait till one of the cones hits your shin or catches you just right in the back of the knee.

Ok how long does dumping last ? What exactly is it? I have had diarrhea ALL day and I thought maybe it was the dumping syndrome because last night my hubby and I went out for our anniversary and I had a bite of an apple tart (shhhh don't tell on me lol) but I was fine last night and first thing this morning before I even had a sip of Water the diarrhea started and all I ate all day was at 1 I had maybe half a scrambled egg cause I thought I was better and within a half hour I was nauseas then back to yhe bathroom UGHHH what is going on?

Typically it only lasts a few hours and starts either 30-60 minutes after eating, or, for late dumping, 1-3 hours after eating. A bite of a tart isn't typically going to be a large enough carbohydrate load to make you dump, even if made with sugar.....you'd have to have a large spoonful of pure sugar (for a point of reference, 1 cube of sugar has 2 grams of carbs, most dumpers require a carb load of 15+ grams, so 7 cubes of pure sugar, more or less).

Maybe a cumulative effect of the entire meal out irritated your gut or maybe a bug? No telling! Stay hydrated and hope it passes soon!!!!

This week has been completely blah in the food department for me. Living with my parents is rough. They have been doing a lot of fried foods lately. Need a reset tomorrow!

Back in the hospital...having weird TIA stroke - like symptoms. Now they think they're atypical Migraines. Very disconcerting.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
