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 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!!

      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... :(
