Hey everyone,
I tried to get onto this website all day but I guess it was down so I'm glad it's up now!
I had the appt. with my surgeon today for my numb leg and didn't get much out of him except for an appointment with the neurologist down the hall. That appt. isn't until May 19th and I can't wait to find out wth is wrong with it!
I had a small dumping session today that could've gone drastically into left field but I held it together and kept it down, if you know what I mean. However, my mouth watered over and over again and I just KNEW it was coming up...but I fought like hell to keep it down. I can't stand throwing up. So you can imagine how horrified I was during week 3 when I foolishly tried eating a few bites of a pork chop, which ended up stacking in my pouch and causing me severe discomfort, and then I had to stick my finger down my throat and force myself to throw up in order to get rid of the discomfort and pain. I cried so hard. That was awful and I never wanted to go through that again.
So, we went to the mall today to pick up my engagement ring that was being cleaned and we went to the food court..like a couple of idiots. We walked past a chinese food stand and the lady handed me a piece of chicken on a toothpick...I couldn't resist. It was so damn good. I ate it and kind of felt a little stacking going on, but thought it was just because I had drank something right before I popped it into my mouth. So, I sent Danita over to get another piece of chicken for me. I ate it and the stacking feeling got worse. I was ok on the way home but about 10 mins later I started feeling really bad. Then the mouth started watering over and over. I was about in tears because I recognized this feeling from the "pork chop incident". I fought like hell to keep it down and after 30 mins of struggling to do that, it finally went away. God I can't imagine living like this forever...being afraid of this dumping b.s. It doesn't make sense. I'm not sure what it was because I had a few bites of a cinnamon pretzel and some swigs of fruit punch just before I ate those 2 pieces of chicken, but I'm pretty sure it was the chicken. I mean...how do you know what's gonna send you over the edge?
Why can I eat a cinnamon pretzel and be fine but I eat chicken and I'm dumping? How confusing. I'm so glad I found this forum. Thanks for all your help, everyone. I know that you all will make this transition a lot smoother for me and I appreciate it...I really do.

Your body will eventually go "swoosh" and you'll drop lbs. right before your eyes. Of course your body will level out lb. wise several times, then again, "Swoosh!"

Ok...I'm gonna sit back and wait for the "Swoosh!" lol It's been 4 weeks with no weight loss so I'm getting frustrated!
Wow
Debz...you've really inspired me. Thanks for the supportive words and sharing your story with me. I'm glad to know that someone else went through the same thing I'm going through. I don't feel so alone now.
I can't wait to get where you and everyone else who commented on my post is at now.
Thanks a lot everyone and Aloha!
