It's been almost 5 weeks since my surgery and I've lost 32 pounds. I'm able to eat some things that surprise me, like roast pork (very tender) yet I barf on water?? I've also barfed on a mozzerella cheese ball (the fresh very soft kind) that I had eaten many times before the barf incident??? So, I've had two dumping episodes and two barfing episodes and both I had the most HORRIBLE cramps, actually worse than labor! But on the bright side of things, I feel great, I've been back to work since the 3rd week, and I've lost 32 pounds! I would love to be able to drink water like I did before, I actually miss my water! I hope it gets better and better

I'm hangin in there...still havin some difficulty with pain, and learning how not to overeat... what an uncomfortable feeling that is.... and take so long to go away when it isn't liquids.....just came off liquids only.... Bottom line ..... preop appt wt = 316 wt before surgery = 301 wt at last drs appt - 282 Life is good.... I am now finally beginning to notice the weight loss in my legs and neck??!!! I think I might be in the 270s now!!!! This is good!!! B
