It happened while I was eating....which was odd. I had just bought the chips but will check. I can have a reaction to sugar, (I have reactive hypoglycemia) so I am really careful with sugar. But hadn't really noticed an issue with fats before, other than the gallbladder. Won't be trying it out again, and I just had my annual checkup....but maybe calling them would be an idea. Thanks.

First...great job maintaining your weight! What you experienced is not what I think of as dumping...that is when the sugars and fat**** your bloodstream fast and you get an unpleasant reaction from it. For me, it feels like what I've been hit by a truck. Terrible abdominal pain, my heart races, break out in a cold sweat, feel compelled to lie down and if I'm lucky fall asleep as the pain begins to subside. Then afterwards I have a bit of a after-dumping spaciness. Rarely there is diarrhea but I'd had my gallbladder out with my first wls in '99 so maybe that is why?
Check what type of oil was used to fry those chips as well as the expiry date on the package. Maybe your body just can't handle that style oil anymore or as you say maybe it's related to your gallbladder issues. Were you nauseated as well? When my mom would have a gallbladder attack she suffered 'at both ends' as she used to put it. If you still have a relationship with your wls, give his nurse a call and see if she/he thinks it warrants a visit to your pcm. Hoping this doesn't happen to you again, it must have been very unpleasant.
Hope the rest of your weekend goes well!
Currently 125 poundsI did not live close to my grandparents. They were in Ireland and Brooklyn NY and I was in Ohio. So I have no pictures of them. Once in a while a picture shows up but they were all gone by 1960 and people did not take many pictures back then. Once in a while a cousin will share an old picture and I treasure those.
Fireworks are legal here but I don't expect to hear any from my senior citizen neighbors. i have two parties I can attend for the Fourth and wish I could go to both. But will go one who asked me first.
I love wildlife and documentaries. There is one on Amazon Prime call Zoo where you learn a lot about animals. I always love a day at the zoo and watching exotic animals.

I love the meme! Don't know how you handle the cicadas they would drive me nuts!
My roommate got a job, so maybe things will be better. I had 19 hours paid last week, which is good since I haven't had a paycheck in almost 2 months. I did finally get money from Paid Leave Oregon, so I'm not totally broke. I can cover my house payment for this month. I hate living paycheck to paycheck but that is my reality.
It's not supposed to be as hot as the last couple of days, high 90's is too warm. Especially when trying to keep my 2nd story bedroom cool at night. To keep it cool the downstairs is cold. I've been thinking about selling my house, but honestly I don't think I can afford the interest rates now and don't want to move again. The stairs and I are not friends, I really want a single story house.
My neighbors, the ones with the rooster were playing very loud musi****il about 10:30PM on Saturday, my roommate had talked to them a couple of days before and basically they told him too bad call the cops. Why is there always one neighbor that makes everyone else's life a living hell? Not looking forward to the 4th, I despise fireworks and have PTSD so it just sucks. The city of Portland has banned fireworks but I don't think it will do any good.
Have a great day everyone! I miss QJB and Grim has anyone heard how they are doing?

good morning y'all!
Not a lot planned today. Yesterday was better but still kind of dicey with my mom. Hopefully she'll be even better today!
I'm hoping to get some stuff around the house done today. My mom may decide to go somewhere. None of the grocery stores has really good sales for the 4th. Kind of disappointing. I wa hoping for some. My stomach has been really messed up the past week or two. Not sure what all it is from. Going to cut back on a few things and hope it takes care of it.
QOTD: I posted yesterday about what I got my mom for her b-day...the bird feeder with a web cam. Do y'all enjoy watching wildlife?
the greatest joy of my life in those regards was when I saw my first wild bison in Yellowstone NP. I cried...literally. I love love love seeing and watching wildlife. It makes me wish I could see the country before it was settled. I've seen black bears in Canada, foxes in RMNP, moose, wolfs and tons and tons of elk. Funny enough I hate wildlife documentaries that include carnage. I don't view it as entertainment to see something lose its life. I know it happens but I don't want to watch it.
B: burrito and coffee
L: chicken nuggets or an egg with a zero net carb tortilla
D: ???
I am missing my grandpa so much so I thought I'd share a photo I took! Also a bracelet!
Hi! Today was payroll day 1 and with the holiday in the mix I'm not ready to hand off the ones I've been handling during the training phase for the new team member so it was pretty busy but went by fast.
QOTD: During the week, eat in with the normal breakfast and lunch items and for dinner we usually barbecue or make some sort of protein on Sunday that gets us through the first part of the week. Usually the weekend we tend to eat at once or twice.
Typical breakfast lunch and snacks for me and dinner is soy chorizo with a little bit of cheese and zero net carb tortillas. Exercise, vitamins, and water all checked off for the day!
I hope everyone had a great day!

Aw, Melody, I'm sorry things are difficult with your mom. I for sure prayed and asked for some good days for her so you can refill your own bank of strength to keep dealing with this situation. You clearly have a very compassionate, loving heart to care for her in the midst of that kind of stress.
The webcam birdfeeder sounds like something both of you will love. And the chance to see Cardinals...wow! They aren't native here but people have tried to get them established here.
Your photos were cute and beautiful, thank you for sharing them.
Hi Mary, thank you for starting the Tuesday post. Being new here I feel like it isn't my place to do that and besides, I still can't figure out how to add pics to posts.
Your Door Dash sammies sounded good and it leads me right to the QOTD answer: We never get takeout and only eat out once or twice a year. We are just too cheap, lol. I can make Arby's at home with my Instant Pot, beef deli meat cut as thick as we want and some seasonings (bouillon powder, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper). Their sauce is in the grocery stores here now so it makes a cheap meal. For our anniversary, there is one Chinese place we love so usually we go there. I refuse to have the stink of deep frying in my house so I don't attempt to cook Chinese. And besides, our family joke is that Hubby is 'Restaurant Death'...we can take him to any wonderful restaurant and that meal will be awful.
It has been very sad around here, the whole community is in mourning for the two firefighters who were murdered and praying for the third who is in the hospital. All the flags are at half-staff. My son-in-law is a firefighter in the Spokane Fire Department and I can't wait to give him a tight hug the next time I see him.
Today is another follow-up with the ear, nose, throat Dr. Trying yet again to get him to fix my broken nose but doubt it will be successful. I've actually stretched the left side of my face from pulling the skin away from the nose to help open it up better. He says fixing that would make my nostril problems worse. I just want to be able to breathe normally.
Getting so close to Onederland again (5#!) so I'm trying to do what exercises I can and keeping control of fats and carbs. I should set up a ticker again.
B- The same SF chocolate protein/collagen shake.
L- Probably nothing.
S-1.5 cups of watermelon
D-Might thaw one of my egg substitute and turkey sausage packets and have that on some lettuce or raw Red Russian kale.
LS-Chia water again and a hard boiled egg.
Have a blessed day!
Thanks Mel. Go ahead and start the tgrea.s snytime. I am not always online early in morning.
