FINALLY MADE THE CENTURY CLUB!!!!!!!!!!!!

just reached my 100 lbs day before yesterday; got up and weighed and was 100 lbs exactly for weight loss. I am so happy. I had my surgery Nov 19, 2004. It took about a month to finally lose the extra few lbs. I was 261 and now am 160; I wore a size 3X (26-28 TIGHT) now wear a size 12. Matter of fact I got a jeans set yesterday with a rolling stones shirt under it. I stared at myself for awhile in the fitting room and just looked. I am still stunned at my new appearance. I am 59 years old and feel so much younger. I am told I look younger also. I need to update my profile with new pictures. Now one thing, has anyone had trouble with gas and nausea about 1-2 hours after eating? I can't relate it to any certain foods; it just happens sometimes. I had no trouble with dumping until about 2 months ago. I started dumping on things I ate before. I'm not sure it was a certain thing either. I just know that sometimes I eat but two hours later I get bad gas pains and nausea (want to throw up but can't). Sometimes I don't eat anything and get gas pains in waves below my pouch. Is this an ulcer? Like I said I never had this before. I experienced a little of this last nite after yogurt (!?) go figure. I had some angel hair pasta earlier with sauce no problem and later some pop corn no problem. I am burping and have alot of gas lately. Any suggestions? What about gas x after meals. I never had to take it before. Well thanks for all the support. I think this board is tops for information and support

Congrats on the job well done, Nancy. I get gas badly sometimes too. Sometimes it takes a day or two to totally clear up. I think it just goes with the territory but certainly do mention it to the docs. I usually can trace mine back to a gassy type food after it happens, though. Dianne

Nancy, Congratulations! You are doing so well! I'm proud of you! I'm at 80 pounds lost and am anxious to get to 100. I was hoping I could make it by my birthday 20 October, but I know I'm dreaming. I'm almost to the weight I was before I got pregnant with Charlie. So, it's been 25 years since I've been this size. I'm happy and feel so much better. Will you be at the craft show in Harrington this weekend? I hope to go down on Saturday. Let me know if you're setting up. By the way, Happy Birthday! I was in Colorado Springs on your birthday, but I was thinking of you. Can you believe they sent me all the way to Colorado for a one day training? Go figure. Later, Jean
