I'm glad you are offended, hopefully you will pay attention. My intention wasn't to pat you on the head and say good job.

You know you are making questionable and poor choices which is why you wrote a whole paragraph in your maximizing your money at the buffet thread telling people what NOT to tell you, because you already knew the whole idea was a disaster.

Most of the vets won't touch this thread with a 10 foot pole because they just don't care but you are self sabotaging and you need to stop it.

You couldn't be more lost or off base about me if you were in the middle of the pacific ocean on a raft without a map. I am paying attention - that doesn't mean the kinds of things you're posting are acceptable or okay.

Clearly you didn't get my point in the previous thread.. I was asking how to make the most out of it because I DID NOT GET A CHOICE IN WHERE WE WENT - read that again.. it was my friend's birthday.. she chose the location and because I care about her I went... right now I AM UNEMPLOYED AND MAKING ABOUT $150 A MONTH - read that again... So yes I absolutely have a right to care about and ask about how to make the most out of a buffet when I am scrimping by on VERY little money. Normally when I go out to eat at a restaurant and order an entree it's simple because I can box up what I don't eat and take it home... That cannot be done at a buffet... and it wasn't all about how to stuff the most in my mouth quite frankly.... it was about how to make the most of the experience and the amount of money spent when I don't have that much to spend...

And frankly I got lots of good advice from people - like try one bite of a lot of new things, or see if they would let me do a takeout container by the pound so I don't have to pay the buffet price.. ask if I could do a child buffet... These are all acceptable... gracious answers along the lines of what I asked.. You have no business judging me or anyone else on this forum by "reading between the lines" of various threads they post.

I did not "know" the idea was a disaster and it WAS NOT A DISASTER... read that again THE BUFFET WAS NOT A DISASTER. I managed to stay on program and feel like I didn't get jipped money wise based on the tips in that thread which was what that thread was about And why I spent a whole paragraph telling people what I didn't want to hear - because I wanted responses that would help - not salty responses judging me for wanting to get the most of it and have a good experience... just like anyone else would want to.

And guess what I'm paying attention - maybe you should too.. I'm down 35 pounds.. PCP says I'm doing amazing, feel better than I ever have, more active than I ever have been.. hard core work outs 3-5 times a week, mostly low carb, 60 gram Protein / 64 oz Fluid a day and 800 calories... two clothing sizes down.. I AM SUCCEEDING.. Just because I'm not doing it YOUR way doesn't mean I'm not doing it the right way.. or making a lot of bad decisions read it again

I. AM. SUCCEEDING.

I would appreciate if you would not post judgmental comments on my threads when I ask questions from reading between the lines and ASSUMING (wrongly) that I'm not doing well or won't continue to do well.

@@LipstickLady I don't blame you there. But really... am I supposed to sit here and allow someone to make accusations about me that are untrue, unfounded, and unreasonable based on what she "assumes" based on other posts I've made.. - especially when I didn't ask for opinions in the first place...

I specifically asked to know about dumping and what people experience after.. Not to have someone come in here and post that I'm making poor food decisions and now is the time for me to learn better habits. I am not here to be walked over and judged and won't tolerate it.

Now if she had some kind of logical point I'd listen. Happily. But she doesn't. As a matter of fact I've been told by my entire medical team (who actually KNOW me ) how WELL I'm doing. So. I feel I've a right to defend myself.

Well. I made an unwise food decision today. Sigh. And dumped. Like badly. An hour on the toilet and then having it come out both ends at once (more embarrassing still I'm at a relatives house not at home so they all know!) but what I want to know is what's normal after dumping. Now that I've dumped. I feel exhausted. I don't want clothes on. I feel hot all over my body. I just want to lay naked with ice on me. Is this normal ? Those of you who have dumped what feelings physical sensations did you have after the dumping ended?

All of those symptoms took about an hour to feel better.

It was chicken salad but it had sugar in it. I really didn't think putting sugar in chicken salad was common. I certainly have never seen a chicken salad recipe call for it. Home made chicken salad never made me dump. It was not the fat it was the sugar, since I was regularly eating chicken salad at home.

I was eating at a resturant and didn't think to ask. I always ask now.

This is one of my biggest fears. I check the menu's as much as possible prior to eating out because its crazy how much added sugar exists in recipes.

Today I was faced with all kinds of tempting foods. The smells were great but the thought of dumping syndrome was enough to make me keep on walking.

As a sleeved chick who dumps, I'm going to have to disagree! I dump from high sugar almost always, but other random times pretty regularly. No rhyme or reason, really. Three + years out, here.

What is considered high sugar.
I am hoping to have a 20oz Coca-Cola sometime this year

That's a quarter cup of sugar, plus carbonation, plus caffeine. Kind of the axis of evil right there. And no nutritional benefits at all. Why are you hoping for that particular food?

I dont have the toilet dumping. I have the vomiting dumping. Several things trigger it, but garlic, rich foods too are big offender. I am fortunate to have a tell. If my nose starts to run after eating something, I know I have less than 3 minutes to find a bathroom or garbage pail.

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
