Shari, I hope you are feeling better. You have had 2 weeks of YICK! My highest weight was 290. The day of surgery, I weighed 265. Today, I weigh 209. Total weight loss is 81 pounds. Loss since sugery is 56 pounds. I have to be honest and tell you all that I am extremely frustrated w/ my weight loss. I know... I continue to lose, but it seems really slow to me. I thought I would be losing more than just one pound a week at this point. I've talked w/ several OH members who I consider to be extremely successful, as well as, my surgeon. I'm doing all the right things- except losing the weight a little faster. Are any of you experiencing the same sort of thing??? If so, have you any advice??

Hi Jean, I could have written your post word for word. I too can eat sugar without having any dumping. When I found that out I started eating more and more sugar. I put lots of sugar on my cereal every morning. I eat cookies, cake, cupcakes. Not all the time, but I have sugar everyday. I keep saying, tomorrow...tomorrow I'll start fresh. I know that it's out of control and I need to put an end to it. I haven't lost weight in a few weeks and I'm really worried. I too don't drink a lot of water...I drink gatorade, but not enough. I've never been one to drink fluids, so I struggle with it. I have some sort of condition where the opening from my esophagus to my stomach doesn't always open...with fluids. Food seems fine. So I tend to not drink. We should kick the sugar habit together! I'm so ready to make it all go away LOL!
