@@mallnut, "dumping" is a specific term that applies to bypass surgery. I've never heard it used in connection with sleeve and I understand that it doesn't apply. It has nothing at all to do with lapband. As I gather, it's got something to do with inability to digest sugars and some other things properly; because of the nature of the rewiring, they run through the system most unceremoniously. Don't take my word on the action as gospel, though.

It's interesting how easy it is to identify the people that are likely to be the WLS cautionary tale of the person who only lost 40 pounds after surgery and then regained it plus 20 more six months later, and say WLS "didn't work for me."

Wash that fried chicken down with some Coke, and then when your stomach has a little room, have a cookie. You got this.

Don't be an a*****e about it ur issue isn't my issue!!!! Fried chicken and ur over consumption of if may have forced u towards this journey but in my case it was me eating one meal a day and being inactive that brought me to my choice to have this surgery no high blood pressure no high cholesterol no diabetes it wasn't ever a suggestion to have surgery just something I thought was best for me.... and I have lost 25 of the 55 lbs and I wanted a piece of fried chicken!!!! I stay away from rice bread Pasta so I don't think it will sabotage my weight loss!!!! And I think those that come on here and judge are trolls!!!!!

So let me get all this straight. You ate a piece of FRIED chicken at eight weeks out and thought it was important enough of an event to post it. And not on your FB or your Insta, but on a WLS support board where many (most?) of us are here to support a healthier life style and encourage excellent choices pre op and absolutely during the healing/losing stages post op.

FRIED chicken made you vomit, people shared similar stories and gave you extremely valid advice to avoid FRIED, CARBY, FATTY foods like FRIED chicken (that YOU posted/ate/vomited for no clear reason at EIGHT WEEKS post op) and YOU are calling everyone else an "assh0le" and a "troll"!?!?!

Are you even reading what you're writing?

And wait. You decided to alter your body physically and permanently when really, you did not have real weight loss issues or co-morbidities in the first place?

AHHHHHHHHH!!! Yes. It all makes TOTAL sense. ;)

I'm honest about my journey I'm not perfect and won't pretend to be and the fact that I'm being judged by people who don't have it all figured out is baffling..... and everyone doesn't have the same issues that lead them to wls.... I haven't had fried anything in months so what's the big deal.... no where does it say NEVER on my plan!!!!! So I guess ur an expert that has it all figured out as well???? See I appreciate the suggestions on different was I can make chicken it's the ridicule the I can't stand!!!! Everyone is on this journey for many different reasons and I don't judge anyone even if I don't agree I know this is a learning process!!!!

I'm not judging your actions at all. It's your journey. That said, if you are going to bring up potentially dangerous or risky dietary decisions, you have to expect people to comment on them.

You choose to interpret how to read and more importantly, how to react to those comments.

Nobody is judging. Is what you want and if you post it here you have to accept that there will be different people with different opinions. I wouldn't eat it because:

1) I m scared of dumping

2) can't stomac that not even after 5 months

3) it will make me crave for more

But this is me.

Ok I get it and I don't mind and I encourage that if u don't agree say u don't agree offer a better option.... but sarcasm and ridicule gives a negative feel and I will speak up because it's not right... we don't always do what's right all the time and i come on here looking for support from those that have been where I am and from those that r where I am.... there is a fine line between tuff love and abuse... psw 199 dos 196 cw 174 I think I'm headed in the right direction I was sleeved on 8/11 I am still learning... my toughest challenge is eating and drinking before weight loss surgery I would go a whole day without eating and I didn't drink Water... now I still struggle with eating making sure I eat but now only thing I drink is water... it's a process and I will make mistakes that doesn't make me a Troll or failure

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
