Was supposed to go to Glow Bowling with work folks tonight.  I'm 1/2 hour late now and I'm in the middle of a dumping episode, my stomach is gurgling something that sounds like "Smoke on the Water" and my left foot is in full bore seize.  My heart is racing and hasn't slowed down for the last 1/2 hour.  My tummy is so distended that my skin hurts.

Connie even when your in pain you add alittle humor to it. Smoke omthe water! O my god!
There are times that the sounds coming from my body amaze me and yes I too can hear music in them!
I do hope your feeling better.
isn't it something how even after 5 years we can go into dumping mode?
a couple of days ago i had dry tuna on a slice of whole wheat bread with a slice of cheese on top all melted in the micro. that was dinner and I'd planned on having some nice green seedless grapes. the haturalpathic doc has me eating complex good carbs along with my protein.
Green seedless grapes are very good for people with low blood sugar. they release the sugar stuff in them slowly when combined with my dense protein (tuna) and with the whole wheat bread and cheese all together makes this paste stuff that stays in my tummy longer plus makes me feel fuller. Yea a win win!
I was in a rush and not chewing as much as I should have. about half way into this little tuna melt i could feel that the tuna was a tinsey bit too dry....dry anything with me is a big no no!
so i tried to chew better slowed down how I was eating but continued cause I had things to do! places to go! people to meet!
But my stoma had other plans....
the pain was unbelieveable! ok so i'm exaggreating a bit but it hurt like hell! there was moaning. there was twisting.
The only thing that ended up helping me was that i got up and stretched and walked (slowly) aorund my little condo. I also chewed gum. I remembered that helping me all those years ago.
It still just amazes me that my surgery still is there and works just fine!
i'm holding my own with the weight. hovering between 170 and 182. truth be told i've not seen 179 in a month. but i know its out there someplace and i'm gonna see it by the end of summer!
i hope.
good luck and god bless, pam
