I just want to warn gastric bypass patients that at 16 days post op don't take a bite of cake. I have no idea what caused me to do that becayse i have followed my plan completely but I paid dearly in pain for several minutes afterwards. I thought it was going down fine but no in fact it did not. I couldn't do anything but wait. I thought I was going to vomit for a few minutes but no such luck. I just had to wait. It was really bad and I definitely learned my lesson. Just a bite will hurt!

Dumping syndrome is a good educational tool. It quickly teaches you what you do not want to do ever again.

James Marusek, I have been reading your comments, since September, 2016. I copied your articles about surviving WLS. Thank you, they were very well done. I had the bypass RNY on Dec. 27, 2017. I have had no problems. I have not weighed, doctor asked us not till my appointment. My taste has changed. My body seems to be changing daily. Things are going so fast physically and emotionally, I can barely keep up. I struggle with lack of desire to eat and drink, it is gone, as you said it would. The struggle is on...I sip and keep a record, so I know what to work on. I just re-read your articles and caught your suggestion to spike my decaf coffee with Protein. I think you used hot chocolate. Thank you again, for taking the time to write those articles. P's: I just made a batch of your chili, it is quite good.
