Bad Dream

Hi Mary!! Always nice to talk to a fellow C-vivor. (I'm still not sure about the name.) Like you, I think I would just like to assume that I dump. And I don't think I've had enough sugars to make myself dump. I do know that my pouch is very particular. I don't tolerate very cold fluids well and often have a hard time drinking water, even when it's room temperature. Getting my fluids in is my hardest battle so I tend to chew a lot of ice. And, you are right about my son and I. LOL!! I love that kid to death. He just finished reading Harry Potter 5 and wants to get HP6 read before school starts. Then he wants to read Eragon. Plus, he's playing soccer. Maybe I'll have some toppings tonight to stop the dreaming. Thanks for the card info, I'll contact Erin tomorrow. I've tried to log into the site, but I can't get it to come up this weekend. I hope to see you soon. Sharyn

Is dumping a routine thing for RNY people. I had the DS and I pretty much eat what I want. Ice cream gives me a bit of gas, but other than that, it goes down pretty smooth. kevin

Hi Kevin Yeah, dumping is actually a welcome side effect, not at the time of course. It helps keep us off of real fatty foods and sweets. I thought about the DS, but my approval came unexpectantly on the 3rd appeal and I wanted to move fast, so I went with what I knew. The question is, how many people do you blow away with that "bit of gas"? LOL!! Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I'm just jealous. Eat some ice cream for me please - I like chocolate! Sharyn

I dont dump but I wish I did. Maybe I would lose these last 17lbs lol. I am starting very strict today AGAIN. The best part for me is if I do go off,which I do, I dont gain. I need a good meeting with Erin again. I think I will call her today.I dont like where I can eat anything. I want my first month again lol.

Sharyn, I have had those same dreams myself. I think its because I failed so many other times at dieting and would give up and binge and just gain more weight. I even woke up during the night and would find myself eating snacks I kept in my nightstand. The fear of going back there is sublimal and manifests itself in dreams. As long as you know you are in control this very minute the rest of the day will take care of itself. I know you are going to do just fine.. Big Hugs Laura
