A thread for when Umm Yasmin wants to add marginally relevant comments about stuff

  • Popular Post

Well now I have one of those tickedy-boo things, lads! And to my surprise I've lost 40 kilos since my original Lapband in 2009. Half of that is since my gastric bypass surgery in Oct 18. Actually, maybe I'll reset the ticker just to show my bypass weight loss - it's more meaningful to me these days.

Can you get dumping from eating too many nuts? Asking for a friend. Kthxbai.

If they are the higher fat content type and your dumping is fat triggered , perhaps... Sometimes I suspect nuts cause mine. Do I stop eating them, not yet. Maybe soon[emoji12] [emoji738]

I reckon I did have a mild dumping episode. I ate more than I normally did (50gms *ack*) right before dinner then went for a walk but felt nauseous and not good. So I didn't eat dinner (didn't have the calories left anyhow). I'm good if I have 20gms but anything more and I think I have to be careful.

Gosh, I've discovered I have to be careful fasting. I've still a got a few of last year's Ramadan to make up so I thought I'd get them over and done with. Day one was fine but day two - sheesh talk about dizzy! I think I didn't rehydrate enough in the evening after the first day so I was dehydrated in the next one and as I've been having low blood pressure issues anyhow it was compounded by fasting.

So my lesson, folks, is rehydrate, rehydrate, rehydrate!!,
