Friday Roll Call

Good Morning Illinois,

       Learning more and more about my new self.  Woke up early as I have today.  I had my protein drink but then found myself hungry and over a two hour period ate two half peanut butter sandwiches, half a cup of roasted almonds and half a cup of Garret's Caramel Corn.  I then got uncontrollably sleepy and went to bed for five hours.

I guess the going to sleep is a good thing because my other signals for fullness were not going off and very likely the caramel was too many carbs.  Not sure what set me off to eat that much but surprised that it did not set off any uncomfortableness or dumping.

I did not even feel bad just very, very sleepy and when I got up just did not have any energy.  I still went to bed at 11 last night and got up at 5:45 this morning.  I currently am not hungry but should have my protein drink anyway.

I need to get out and walk and do my strength training today.

How is everyone else doing?

Hello everyone

Today is Friday!!! YAY!!!

Well I have tenative plans to go mini golfing around my birthday.  I never went mini golfing before.  I hope it's fun!  I would like to go see the movie Killers...it looks funny.  I need to find someone to go with me.  

This weekend I don't have a whole lot planned.  Going to Target tomorrow to buy two books that were released this week.  There are some errands to run and that's it. 

Randy-  I get the munchies too.  The difference is that I eat maybe 4-5 cookies now instead of the whole package.  I try to put things into perspective. 

I hope everyone enjoys their Friday...rainy or not. 

Tapping you on the shoulder....Sounds like you dumped.

Have a great day Illinois!

So you are saying the sleeping is a symptom of dumping?

Oh YEAH!  When I dump (fortunately, not often) I usually feel "icky" and shaky, but ALWAYS need to sleep if off.  It seems similar to what happened to you a few weeks ago?
You can dump on fat too, between the sugar on that carmel corn and the fat in the peanut butter.....probably.
Seems to me that dumping can be as individual an experience as everything else.

Good morning all. Sitting here at work with just a few things to do. Just found out that the boss will not be in, YAHOO! Not much going on with me and really cannot do much this evening in the walking department due to the threat of rain. Saturday my neighbor's are celebrating their little guy's 1st birthday and I hope the weather is not too raining because they are having part of it outside.

Randy, I am with Wondkad I think you dumped. Fatigue is one of the symptoms for late dumping. http://www.bariatric-surgery-source.com/dumping-syndrome.htm l I have read over and over again on the main board of people that will say that they fall asleep after they dump. I get a little drowsy and Dave does also. There is a whole bunch of info on the 'net if you Google dumping syndrome symptoms. The combo of the carbs, sugar and protein really did a number on you. Good learning experience.

Good Morning Illinois,

Not much happening in my world today.I am just going to do some stuff around the house, and maybe head for Home Depot later, or at sometimes over the weekend.

DH is out doing some errands this morning,then he has some home stuff to do to.

Have a safe and great day,
Huggers,

Good morning Randy and the rest of Illinois!

I am working a partial day today, then I have errands to run before going home to get David packed up and delivered to Canyon Camp to complete his OA Ordeal.  Poor guy, looks like he will be sleeping in the rain, without a tent.  He won't even be able to complain about it!  It sure WILL be an "ordeal"!

Not sure what else is happening around here.  I am kind of down today.  I am tired of this weight gain and have been working on getting rid of it, but of course, it is not moving fast enough to suit me.  Harder work will be required, I am sure.  Each day is a new day though, so I will just keep trying.

I wish everyone a splendid day!

Hang in there kiddo the weight will start to come back off. Shake up your life style a little bit in the exercise department. It sounds like you are headed that way with getting your bike back in working order, keep it up.

I experienced a 15# gain with my bowel issues as I was always hungry because everything was going through me so fast. I am now down 11# of those 20# so there is hope for you.

 Evening Everyone!

I am glad the week is over!  I know it was only 4 days but still was long.  I am just ready for the weekend! 

Randy,  my version of dumping is getting incredibly sleepy.  I know I have overdone it when I cannot stay awake.  

This week was weird.  I ended up taking back half the clothes I bought last weekend.  They were too big.  I think I was feeling really fat.  I had tried everything on and thought all was ok, but as I was getting dressed this week, I realized that clothes were too big.  So I got things in smaller sizes.  

My big news of the week is that I am changing teams at work.  We were given 2 hours yesterday to decide if we wanted to make this change and I went for it!  This is so untypical of me but I guess I am ready for a change/  I am also hoping for better hours as I will have seniority on this team so I should get the earlier work schedule plus be able to get off for holidays.  That will be nice!  No Christmas alone this year!.  Also, I think the work load will be easier.  

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
