Topic: RE: WHAT IS EVERY-ONE EATTING????
thanks Teena,
You, do need to get in your protein, I hope your taking your vitamins! Remember you dont want your hair to stat falling out.. I know I'm not hungery much, but I try not to skip a meal. There has a few times early on that I skipped lunch, and started filling weak. I'm not good at counting my calories, but I think I'm going to try and eat alittle more, and see it I san lose more.. I just dont know the secret, and want to lose, and be a sucsess.
Take care and try not to skip your dinner.. You need your protein and energy..

Call the doc! It could be something else besides dumping. Chicken salad shouldn't make you dump, should it?

Hi Trish! I don't have dumping per se, but I get the foamies A LOT! ESPECIALLY anything with chicken in it/on it. I can't tollerate chicken at all!
When you say you are dumping, what are your symptoms?

Hi Diane,
Where exactly in the Bay Area are you from. I live in Stanislaus county for 25 years in Modesto, now in NJ, but I know the Bay Area very well. My brother lived in San Jose forever, think he is trying to go back.
Anyway welcome. I had my surgery 1 day before you so its good to meet you.

Topic: Anyone having dumping problems
Hey everyone
I had my surgery 8/6 and for a while I was doing really well with most foods even lean beef.
The last two weeks I have been dumping. i tried a chicken salad from McD's had 3 bites and dumped 1/2 hour later. I had another chicken salad with ff dressing and dumped again. Then I had shrimp 2 small and dumped again. It seems like everything is upsetting my stomach.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do after dumping to help your stomach feel better.
Thanks
Trish
Topic: RE: Weekly Weight In - Week of Oct 22nd
I don't get weighed in weekly unfortunatley. My husband refuses to let me have a scale because I become scale obsessive. I stalled for about 2 weeks and was devestated.
Here is where I was as of 10-6-07
Highest weight 258
surgery day 256
as of 10/8- 212
total 44lbs in 9 weeks wooo hooo and I am down from size 26 to an 18 that is better than looking at the scale
