I know of some couples who met at their WLS support group meetings!
I am glad you posted this. I am interested in hearing about the experience of others too.
Hello, my name is Angel. I am happy to have found this forum. I have been reading your posts and reading the articles for a few months now and thought I would finally sign up and introduce myself. I like the support you all give each other and look forward to all of your posts.
Thanks for all the replies. So my anxiety I have on Wednesdays is due to my support group TOPS, I feel so nervous stepping on the scale. My doctor doesn't know yet because it only started happening about a month ago. Right around the time I stopped losing pounds each week. I'm no where near my goal weight and I've been putting stress on myself. I will talk to my doctor today after my TOPS meeting this morning. Hope everyone has a good day.
I know dumping can lead to diaherrea, but how do you know the difference between both? And why would I have diaherrea every Wednesday morning? I don't eat for 1-2hours after getting up and I don't eat past 7pm the night before. It's strange, can anxiety cause diaherrea or am I dumping? I'm a little confused.
if it happens every Wednesday morning, then I would say it is emotional. What happens on Wednesday's that makes you anxious?
Dumping with RNY patients is not diarrhea. It is a rapid heartbeat, dizziness, shaking, loss of concentration, fainting, sweating or passing out.
It can by followed by diarrhea. That happens to me if I get dumping from ice cream or other high fat along with sugar.
Diarrhea caused by anxiety is a thing. Your brain might tell you that it is going to happen and then it does.
It is fine to treat the diarrhea with Imodium. The dumping you just have to wait out. I sit or lie down for about 15 minutes and it goes away.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
Dumping usually happens very fast. If you're saying it's in the morning and you haven't eaten since the night before, it's probably not dumping. I think I read about delayed dumping but a think that's few hours not overnight. What does your doctor say?
Good luck finding the cause and be sure to stay hydrated!

I know I'm a little late responding, but when I was resting I was hot and cold. I would keep a fan near you, I did even with having central air I just couldn't get comfortable. I hogged all the pillows so I could sleep propped up. I also had everything in reach for when I got out of the hospital, like water, pots and pans, etc so I wouldn't have to bend or stoop down. I'd re-wash what I used to avoid doing many dishes.
