I am 2 1/2 months postop and have had a couple scary episodes with sugar. The first episode was when I had some lemonade immediately after working out. The rush of sugar to my system caused me to have cold sweats, see spots, and actually pass out. The same thing happened after eating a mini sized Milky Way the other day. Kinda scary. I RARELY eat sugar, so the flood of pure sugar was just a shock to my system I'm sure.

I've never experienced the bathroom issues associated with dumping though.

Congrats on being sleeved!! It is very important to follow your surgeon's guidelines. Although you may be tolerating foods well, the staple line in your new stomach is still healing. Advancing your diet too soon could cause complications. Only your surgeon should approve altering your diet plan.

Stay focused. You'll do great! This is just a very short period of sacrifice in exchange for a wonderfully healthy life! Good luck on your journey!

I felt like a slow loser too at one month out. Everyone's body reacts differently to this surgery. I am 2 1/2 mos postop and the bulk of my weight came off in the preop diet and within the first week. Then my body went through a very long stall....like 3 weeks. It is normal. I steadily lose 2-3 lbs a week now, sometimes I lose nothing at all....but sometimes I lose 5 lbs in a week. My advice is to avoid being a slave to the scale. Take your measurements, feel the difference in your energy level and overall health, and watch for small
changes in your body (take lost of pictures). Stay on your eating and exercise plan and you will be successful! good luck!

That is incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!
