I'm going to second.....personal insults/attacks aren't going to resolve anything here, and the one above is truly a "low blow". I'm also going to say that neither Sprite nor Jersey mean you ANY harm.....they are just trying to help, the best way "they" know how. Maybe both of them were out of line with what they have posted to you, but you freaked them (us, too) out with your diet and what you are able/can eat. The highlighted, wow, we all can see that you are very angry....but you also have to understand that with your first post, you kinda scared everyone. We ARE here to help and to give each other a hand/support when needed....but you came in here "blazing mad" about your surgery. However I kinda understand your "blazing mad" scene......but then again, I don't.

Remember RNY is a tool....it is up to you to do what you want to it or with it.

So maybe you will understand why I decided to do it now even though it may not seem time appropriate to you. Okay, look I'm not trying to insult you by any means that's not who I am, but you have to understand you haven't been the nicest person and I've only responded to things that you have said. As for your #3, that's why I came to this forum so that people like yourself that have been through this can coach me to do the right things.
I'm not saying you should tell her mommy's too fat to play. Look, it is a veryyyyyy emotional time right now, you are dealing with a 6 month old and newly post-op. I'm actually shocked your doctor allowed surgery this early after having a baby, but then again.. i'm not a mother, nor am i a doctor.

I agree with native, you came out here blazing with guns.. I don't know what you were expecting, but i'm sorry you didn't get the reaction you wanted. I think you need to sit back and re-read some of the things said here. I'm actually concerned at WHY you would try this type of food/dumping, I need you need to get to the bottom of that because you will never change if u don't know what you are doing wrong and why you are really doing it.

i almost always stay out of these stupid posts with stupid insults but ARE YOU RETARDED! Honest to God who the heck are you wow you have no picture of YOURSELF up here and yet you come and insult people on this forum, i'm sure your pych doc and surgeon didnt do the proper eval because you DO indeed have anger issues! Although i DO understand the anger, after my surgery i was so mad at everyone and everything for no reason other than i REALLY missed food i missed it so much that at 1 week out i was LICKING doritos then eating them being sure to chew them ever so well, ok well at 3 weeks post op that landed me a spot in the ER and a 3 day hospital stay with a stupid stricture from vomiting so much. TRUST me when i tell you that I have been wear your at.

The reason I didnt do lap band is cause i too wanted that dumping syndrome sadly i'm told its a 50/50 complication not everyone gets it. I have to eat like 20g of fat or 50g of sugar in order to dump, but theres some days (this is funny) that i really dump on my chewable bariatric vitamin pills! Seriously

I know your not really understanding whats going on with you and perhaps thats why your calling people names (unless your really that rude of a person which i doubt otherwise you wouldnt be on this forum) not sure what kinda food you used to like the best presurgery but for me it was sweets so i found the SF puddings to really help me, you'll make it just hang in there and it really will get easier

Deb, let it go. It's not going to make things any better. We all react defensive when attacked, however if she isn't going to admit she was wrong.. there's no point in repeating it over n over.

Yes it is real!!! I can say that and I will never touch any f-n Chinese ever again. I have many curse words that I can insert to make me feel better. But you should understand that not everyone dumps, not everyone looses weight the same way, not everyone, can tolerate sugar, not everyone can tolerate fruit. What I am saying is you may be able to eat like normal but not the same amount and eventually you will dump. And then you will want to write curse words too. Chinese is the DEVIL!!! I hate chinese! No more green peppers and beef ever ever ever.

I had a bite of a krispy kreme donut my first week post op and second week when I was supposed to be on "full liquids" I got into soft foods-cottage cheese, hummus, a couple of bites of the cheese and sauce topping on my daughters pizza. Definitely not perfect. What is interesting is that I am finding it easier to be good now than it was in the beginning. I have come through the anger-and I was really angry the first few weeks post op-regretted the surgery and missed food- and I have learned (happily) that I didnt have to give up food for life; I am just having very small quantities and trying to get in the protein first. Make sure you check in with your nutrionist to help get on track. You are going through the hardest time; just hang in there (and be good!)

I had the class for the surgery with the nutrisionist and exercise physiologist and had my private appts. with both of them before the surgery. So it's not as if I dont know text book what you are and are not supposed to do. As far as the liquids they did give us the impression that you could not drink before and after meals due to lack of room in the pouch. So yes I was supprised that I could drink before and after meals. As far as the "TESTING" of the pouch that you all can't believe that I did so early. No it wasn't a pie bitch. I had 3 little round melba toast, and a little bit of raisin bran. I came to this forum for advice and support. I thought maybe some of you had been through the same thing. I guess your all perfect to youselfs but ignorant if you ask me. ragazzarosa- thank you for being the only one with positive feed back. As for those of you "banging your heads" - split them open!

ardita - Thank you so much for your reply. Knowing that I wan't the only one that slipped up the first week makes me feel like I wasn't such a sinner. And just so everyone knows - since that tiny bit of raisin bran I haven't had anything else that I'm not supposed to. Also knowing that this is the hardest time makes it a little easier. So thank you.
TheFour - You are one funny dude. You've made me fear chinese food forever.
godblessedme - First of all I dont have any pictures of myself recently. From the time I was half way through my pregnancy like last july I have been hiding from the camera. But to give you an idea, I'm 25 years old, I'm 4'11 and this morning I was 199lbs. Maybe it was a low blow, but you say I called her names. I only "called" her old. And the reason for that is because she put a link for the hard of hearing, as if I'm the one that can't hear. As far as anger goes. It's kind of funny, because in my day to day life I dont have any anger with anyone around me. No one thinks I've changed at all, they were suprised but say I'm the same. Maybe some of my reply's have been angry but that's in response to people saying rude things.
Jersey - Thank you so much for saying that we all react defensive when attacked. Maybe people like godblessedme think I have anger issues but you hit it right on the head. Some of these posts feel like I'm being attacked and that's exactly what I did was react. Your right - I went too far with talking about the way the lady looks, but it was insulting that she put links for hearing and anger as a response. As far as coming in with blazing guns, I reread my original post and I know people dont agree with what I did, but I dont feel as though it was rude or mean in anyway. It's not even that I was angry I was confused because I thought everybody had dumping when they deviated. As far as "WHY" I tried something, It's like I said I was looking for an energy burst. Maybe I chose something that was inapproriate because I've always been a rebel and bend the rules. But since that slip up I haven't had anything else that i'm not supposed to. Thank you for your concerns, I do appreciate positive criticism.

Hi, Angel -

I just wanted to say I understood why you were "testing" your pouch and why you wondered about dumping. I haven't tested my pouch (I'm a week ahead of you) but I've sure thought it!

At first, I felt like I never had the surgery. I was planning/hoping (as was my daughter) that dumping would keep me in line. That it would cause me so much fear that I'd behave or else. And since I've never dumped and feel hungry sometimes, I feel I got "ripped off" somehow.

I know this surgery is just a tool and it's a life-changing journey. I'm sorry you were/felt attacked when I feel I know why you posted. You were just wondering why you didn't respond like most other people. Depending on how you look at it, maybe you and I are a few of the lucky ones!

Good luck on your journey and enjoy your 6 month old daughter. They grow up way too fast!
