I was wearing a size 5XL 1 year before surgery and now I am wearing a size XL...Wow wish I had done this many years ago...

Actually, I'm having my 3rd dumping episode today, and it serves me right! I thought since I'm doing so well, I'd cheat. Never again!!!!!

( Iced Mocha Latte, although I thought using skim milk might help take the bad away.) This was so stupid!( Mocha & Caffeine & a straw, too). It hit me just as I was leaving work after the overnight shift
and it was the worst I've had. I thought I saw someone here said that around 4 - 5 months, which I am, dumping could happen even if you hadn't had any problems so far.

So back to the business of being good. I have lost 63 pounds and 2-3 sizes so far, and I weigh less than I have weighed in 35 years.

So, if anyone wants to consider not following the rules, believe me, the consequence is really awful!

We have the same surgery date and just about identical weight loss.  I do not have a sister, only brothers.  BUT my mother can be a thorn in my side at times.  She was very supportive when I finally told her (not until the date was set and everything was a go did she know).  Now when I see her about e/o week I will get a comment that the weight seems to be coming off slowly.  WHAT???  50 lbs in not quite 3 months - slowly??  2 - 3 sizes in clothes??  So yes I do understand and feel your pain.  I think sometimes it is the other person having issues and you are improving your life with health and becoming the person that has been hiding for way too long.  You go girl!!!  

It will be 3 months for me on 7/26 - I must be one of the slow users because I am only down 45 lbs since surgery.  Been at a stall for the last 3 weeks and driving me crazy.  Down 2 - 3 clothes sizes though and my diabetes and blood pressure meds have been significantly reduced.  I feel great and can excercise harder and longer.  SO glad I made the decision.  I should have my 3 month lab results soon as well. 

You are all doing great!!!

I did the lab list I found on here from some of the vets. I was a little low in A, iron, potassium, and b12.

Anybody else?
