Heidi - get rid of it and don't try anything new!! Whenever anyone says 'try this its new you'll like it' I always say I have enough trouble with the 'old' things, I don't need to add new to my list!! i guess you don't dump? Tha is way too much sugar for me. But -- it does sound yummy!!

Courtney, I'm not sure, but it seems I've heard something good about Gas X? I think that's the name. Sorry I can't be more help. I think this is definitely one of the big downers of this surgery!! Have you added more dairy? I think that makes it worse for me. Hope you don't work in a cube!!

Topic: GAS?
Ok, I've been having a lot of gas lately. I'm not eating all that much differently, although perhaps more nuts than usual. Anybody have any recommendations on how to make this stop?

Topic: RE: body image
Heather,
I so get what you are struggling with and have gone down less sizes than you; from a 24-26 to a size 8). My mind is so confused. I see my reflection in windows and in my mirrors(My bathroom has a whole wall of mirrors) and do not know who that is. I am looking for a good therapist( I live overseas and finding a good english speaking therapist who understands eating disorders, WLS and body image issue is a challenge) but I am trying. I like what Donna said about the picture thing as I found pictures of me 6-12 months prior to surgery and if I took them in to work to show people who did not know me prior to surgery, they might not know it was me!! I have a hard time with the differences but the pictures HELP. Let ME know if you find anything that works.... I know TIME... BUt I am so impatient to get beyond that. Thanks for the post. Jacqueline
Topic: RE: body image
WOW! How awesome it must be, from a 28 to a 2!!! I cant even imagine! But then, I couldnt imagine myself at a 12-14 either, which is where I am now. I look in the mirror, and dont know this person! Im starting to like her though!
It is a big change though, when you go to buy clothes. I still am afraid to buy the smaller sizes..like I dreamed all this or something! Im almost 60 years old,,and this is a whole new ballgame for me.:-0
Congrats on the great success!
I read on one of theboards, and my Nutritionist sayss, it takes a couple of years sometimes to get used to the new body image. We were big for so long,,,
Hang in there,,,,you are amazing!

I eat the sugar free ones occasionally. I figure if I pass up all of the sugary deserts when I'm out, every once in a while the sugar free is ok. Good thing is they come in smaller packages than their sugary counterparts and cost more.
