Had to happen. Bound to happen

I ate a half a falafel

I am totally paying for it.

Dumping syndrome and I hope to never repeat that again.

Oh Lordy.

Sorry to hear you have experienced dumping. The first time I did, I also never wanted to go through it again. Unfortunately, I have also learned that this can occur when you eat "good foods". It is a learning process to know your triggers. For example, I can eat chocolate (M&M's are my weakness) without dumping but watermelon is off my menu. Also it is a quantity issue. I can have a small amount of ice cream but as soon as I have too much, my heart races and I know its time to stop.

So glad I can eat falafels without dumping cause it's not fun. I have sleeve yet still dump if I eat sugary foods. So cake, ice cream, even honey nut Cheerios with milk get me nauseous and heart palpitating. I feel yucky for about an hour. Thank goodness doesn't happen with sangria - probably because sugar+fat causes it not either by itself. I am glad for it though because I used to be a binge eater of sugary carbs etc and now not only restriction but dumping keeps me in check. Usually it can stop me from eating it in the first place. Once I took a video of myself after I are mint chocolate ice cream as a reminder of how yucky I felt. That video prevents me from eating more than a teaspoon of ice cream.

Ouch. I have stayed away from most of those treats. I do eat watermelon on occasion with no trouble. I hope you recover quickly.

I didn't know I had gallstones until they were discovered on my my pre-op abdominal ultrasound. Doc told me I have probably been having attacks for years when I ate fried foods but didn't know what they were. I said I didn't eat much fried food so I didn't know- then remembered how incredibly sick I got the last few times I had falafel! They removed my gallbladder when they did my sleeve and I am hoping some day I will be a

ble to eat falafel again because I do love it!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
