Well, I had my 2-week checkup last Thursday. I had lost 17 lbs. Not as much as I had hoped. I have dumped once, the day I went to the doctor. The doctor gave me a B12 shot and prescribed Vitamin D (not supplements) as I was low on those vitamins before surgery. I was feeling weak and tired all the time. I had bought this protein drink and it obviously had sugar in it. I had had one before, but I must have told them to omit the sugar. Anyway, I was nauseated and had diarrhea (?) for about 4 hours. I was miserable. I have experienced some gas 2 different times. That's also very uncomfortable. At least I've had more good days than bad! I attended the obesityhelp.com convention in Arlington, TX. It was very enlightening and I feel like I came home with some new ideas and a confirmation that I did the right thing. I am eating tuna salad a few crackers, as I type. It went down well before, so I'm hoping it will this time, as well. Good luck to you. Sandy

Hi Sandy, Sounds like you are doing pretty good at your two week except for the dumping episode. Hope the tuna went down ok. Obesity help just had a conference here in Orange county CA. I had a great time. It was two days before my surgery. The perfect thing to do! Take care, Rachel

Hi Sandy! I had surgery on the 26th, too. Yes tuna goes down well for me, as well. I hope you're feeling better, and more energetic. Keep on drinking!
