Hope ur feeling better by today. I haven't experienced dumping yet as I am way tooooooo scared to eat anything that would trigger that off. Of course, having said that, I am also scared of trying something bad that would not make me dump, which would mean I can tolerate it and knowing my head, would make me think it ok to eat it. This surgery has scared the crap out of me and I am grateful that it has, I know I need to stay focused and in tact with my program and my wonderful tool I have been given. Good luck to all of my WLS friends, this is a worthwhile journey and worth all the pain we went through in the beginning. Take care joanne

What a fun problem to have, Petty -- I mean if you have to have one at all. I'm sorry they pushed your surgery back but I'm glad all your medical teams are looking out for you! Hope all else is well.

As most of you know I am to have surgery. The WLS team wasn't all that happy about it. They felt I was still in a weight lost mode and would not heal right. So to stop loosing I started adding carbs. My surgery has been pushed to Dec 6. So I decided to cut back on the carbs. I have dropped two lbs. Never in MY LIFE TIME did I ever think I would see the day that I had to EAT to keep from loosing weight! This new life is a first of a lot of things but I never thought to eat more would ever be one of them. The first days it was hard wanting the carbs but I am getting back on track. I will have to get back on the carbs right after turkey day and hold my weight again. As I type this I am still in wonder....ME I had to eat so I WOULDN'T loose. It is still not getting into my thick skull.

Went to see the Doctor today and was very surprised when they said I could stop losing now. Three months ago they told me that I would probably eat 800 calories for the rest of my life, now they say to add another meal so I can stop. Amazing. A lot of people have been telling me that I am getting "too thin", but I can't tell so kept on going. I have been so focused that I am finding it difficult to readjust my mindset. Any body else been through this yet?

I think that you guys are lucky! I can eat sugar and it is fine, sweetners like splenda I do bad with. I am even waking up at night wanting to snack (sugar) maybe if I dumped it would help.
