New Pic 11mths I dumped YUCK!!!

I pushed the limit and it happened. I swore I was dying or having a heart attack. Will not do that again. Was feeling a little ****y lately. I didn't think sugar effected me. I am fine with a bite or two but 2smores and 3 roasted marshmallows sent me to bed and I was still sick the next day. Took my picture for 11mth, can't believe it. I am in a size 12. When I was nine I wore a juniors 13. I have never been this size in my entire life. I went shopping tonight and put on a size 10 and they fit. Since my surgery my niece has had the bypass. My older sister is waiting for approval for bypass and my other sister is having the Band. My gosh the pressure is terrible. I just pray they all do as well as me. My skin is like a magic trick. You've seen the magician who pulls out the scarfs. Well I can do that with the skin on my stomach. I can pull it out of my waist. Its a hoot. But the family has told me to stop it. I wear so much spandex and Lycra I cover it up. Oh well thanks for listening. And lets all give us a pat on the back. Love Jane

Hi Jane........i too am a dumper lol...........just had 2 bites of cool whip and i was like a drunk lol.................i love you're new pic, you look so diff...........i think we all are having skin issues...........i told my hubby my boobs look like tube socks...........i want plastics but i can deal with it for right now...........keep up the good work!!! vickie

Thanks Vickie, I want plastics bad but you know with spandex and Lycra I can cover everything up. Winter is coming so maybe next spring we will see if insurance will pick up anything. I hope they will do the TT. Take Care and you look wonderful. jane

I had to come in here and reply when I saw the "DUMPING" part of the post. First off let me say " Girl, You look TERRIFIC". Wow what a change! I dumped late last night. I woke up hungry for some reason and decided to have a small bowl of cereal. Well I laid down right after that and I felt like I was dying. I tried to throw up, I tried to poop. I couldn't do anything. I was walking back and forth all over the house. So from now on. I need to just roll over and go back to sleep when I wake up hungry! Erin 310/148/151 3 lbs. BELOW GOAL!

Thanks Erin it was a very humbling experience. You look wonderful also. Has anyone noticed how everyones smiles have changed also. Your big day is comming up soon. Can't wait to see pictures. Take Care Jane

You look terrific Jane!!! Congratulations on your success!!! Thanks for sharing the experiencing with dumping. I haven't dumped yet and am afraid of getting too confident that I can eat sweets - and then find out I dump big time! Seeing what happened to you helps me keep my head on straight! If I do have something like a piece of chocolate or couple bites of desert, I always do it at the end of a meal so that the offending food isn't alone in my stomach or intestine. I'm afraid to eat something sweet on an empty stomach. Anyway, so far so good. Thanks so much for sharing but at the same time I'm real sorry you had to go through that! Here's your pat on the back for your success, and I'll take one too. I'm below my surgeon's goal and very happy with everything except of course the extra skin! My family hates when I mop the floor, my arm skin flaps up against my side and makes such a funny noise! It IS a hoot too LOL. You take care! Jeanne

Way to go Jeanne, You have done great, I peeked at your profile. My skin on my stomach also makes a noise. It slaps. So now that I jog I count my steps and now this slapping thing is messing me up. Drives me crazy. Jane

You're looking mighty good! Congratulations. Sorry about the dumping part. I prayed and prayed that sugar would make me dump but alas I'm one of those who hardly ever dumps on anything. I was bad today and ate two Oreo Double Stuff Cookies and a handful of regular chips. Regular ice cream is the only food that makes me feel lousey. Fat free ice cream doesn't bother me so I don't have to miss out on my all time favorite ff ice cream sandwiches. As for wishing for TT, I've had enough major surgeries over the last year to last me a lifetime so my batwings and saggy legs will stay with me forever if exercise doesn't take them away. Thankfully my weight was distributed over my whole body so after losing 80+ pounds I don't have a terrible hanging skin problem. When my surgeon did my hernia surgery this last Friday he gave me a mini tummy tuck which is good enough for me! Prayers are sent your way for you and your family members who are about to start their journey to the losing side of life! Keep us posted on their progress! Peggy B.

I'm a dumper too. I had been so careful, but didn't read the label of something I ate (beet soup) - 18g of sugar in 8 ounces. It made me faint dead away on the floor. I fell off the toilet and woke up with my head stuck between the toilet and the tub. Sugar is the devil and I don't even go to the sugar alcohols. If it isn't artificial sweetener like Splenda, I don't touch it. I was lucky that I had my panniculectomy when I had my WLS. I have a tight tummy. The "girls", however, are starting to look like something out of National Geographic. Victoria's Secret is my best friend. Hugs - and stay away from that dump-producing evil stuff. Cheryl
