Tuesday PACZKI (fat Tuesday)
I don't understand why people say that gum chewing or using a straw cause you to take in more air. I mean, if you are able to before surgery, why not after? I don't use a straw all the time, but my teeth are very sensitive to cold and if I'm drinking cold water or something, I generally use a straw. I don't chew a lot of gum, but I've never given it a second thought after surgery. I suppose very early out, it wouldn't be a good idea just because of all the OTHER stuff going on in there, you certainly wouldn't want to add the accidental swallowing of gum to the mix. Besides, I would assume that gum breaks down just like anything else in our system. And if I did accidentally swallow it, I, personally, would drink HOT water...as hot as I can stand. That's just me, though and I'm sure I'm not a "model" WLS patient....nor did I ever want to be for anyone else's purposes.

Well, I tried to make today my first day of detox, but I've failed. I had protein hot cocoa for b-fast, dried apples for my snack, and then a tuna sandwich. Can't seem to get away from those carbs. I have some great cheese/onion bread that hubby bought at the Bay Bakery in town and it's sooo good toasted! Thus, the toasted tuna sandwich. For dinner it'll be another protein shake to make sure I get in all my proteins. Maybe some more dried apples for another snack. I need to get to the grocery store and buy some apples. I love dehydrating apples, they're so good as a snack.
We're supposed to get 6-7" of snow in the next day or so.

syndrome often have both types of symptoms.

I now know the difference between stuck food and dumping is for me.
