Hello December crew, 608 plus my 193 pounds = 801 pounds!!!!! Diana

I have been getting really dizzy lately myself. It is so strange because I never use to get dizzy. Now whenever I get up it feels like the room is spinning and I have brace myself against something so I don't fall. Susan }i{ 448/274/185

I find that the certain foods that were gassy before have three times the effect on me now. They are hard to eat because I am embarrassed by the gas. It is not too bad at home but sometimes it can be. The only other thing that gives me gas is a lot of Sugar. I can eat it without too much problem with in a limit. But it does make me gassy. I also noticed that when I take certain fiber pills they are worse. I have to be careful wich ones I take. My Dr. said that sometimes when you eat too fast after having the surgery you will get gas. It is too much air in between bites. The faster you eat the more air gets in. I hope this helps. good luck and I would definatly tell my family how much this hurts. You didn't have this surgery to be ridiculed. be Happy Be Proud! your sister in WLS Chandi 305/187

That sounds like fun. Reminds me of the days when "fondue" dinners were popular at house parties. Hmmm Hmmm Almost lunch time, and now I'm thinking of fondue. Congrats on the pound lost. I have banished my scale until January. Hoping that the "watched pot never boils" theory will work on scales too. I was stuck at -99 pounds for too long and I didn't want it to get me down over the holidays. So "out....out damn scale" Happy New Year All the best in 2006 Karen G
