Topic: RE: What does "Dumping" mean for you?

I didn't think I did at first either...The further out I go the more I know I do. I get Nauseous and feel drowsy and sick to my stomache or " just not right!" Just plain yucky....I don't get the diahrea or the vomits....I have twice but usually not. It takes me about an hour or so the feel better sometime longer depending on what I have ate and howmuch.

I have twice, I think. Both times I was sicker than a dog. Not that I dump, Only on hf sundaes, but all that sugar that I haven't ate in over a year just made me feel aweful. Wake up tommorrow and eat like you normally do and don't give it a second thought.

Topic: RE: SALTY-SWEET-CRUNCHY SNACKS

My new OBSESSION>>>>Quakes..rice snacks. I know, you gonna be like Ohh no rice cakes. So not what they used to be. My favorite....apples cinnamon, they have cheese, bbq, ranch,chocolate, kettle corn, nacho cheese, carmel corn. 7-9 pices is 60 to 70 calories..1-2 grams protein depending on what flavor. They also have multi-grain flavor, they are good to but not as big. I can eat the whole bag in one day, so I must hide them from myself.

Topic: RE: question about RNY

I had surgery on April 16, 2008. 4 months today! I have lost 55 pounds since surgery and 62 before surgery. I don't dump and will eat ( on occasion) Sf candy even a bite here and there of regular, though not a good Idea, It goves me bad gas. LOL I can't say that you will or won't dump. Kind of disapointed that I don't but kind of glad because I have a much wider variety of foods that I can eat. Go Buckeyes! Fyi, I am originally from Sidney :) shanna

Topic: RE: Anyone get pregnant post op - while on the IUD?

I had mine placed a month before WLS. My gyno had me come in about 4-5 days into my period. Was VERY uncomfortable but nothing compared to LABOR.LOL Take a few stron tylenol/ibuprofen/midol and should be fine. Actually I have forgotten to check for my strings. ( note to self to do that!) They can be accidentally pulled on and The mirena can be pulled out of place. I still have my period but is very irregular now and about 1/2 of what it was before. (which was the flood gates of H#$%)
