19 Days Post-Op

Jan 19, 2009

I am 19 days out....down 13 pounds, guess I shouldn't complain, but I still feel like I fall short of others' weight loss at this point.  Experienced my first dumping episode today.....I don't EVER want to experience THAT again!!  I didn't throw up, although I wanted to.  It came out the other way.  I felt horrible, sweaty, palpitations, nauseous, light headed, all the classic symptoms.....had quite a diarrhea bout, laid down, and felt much better in about 2 hours.  I think I just put too much into my tummy too quick and it revolted.  Like I said, I will not do that again.  Glad I experienced it, now I know what it is like.
Go see my surgeon tomorrow, I hope he doesn't get mad at my piddly weight loss and put me back on liquids or somthing.  Feeling pretty good, more energy, which is good.  Have a lot of cleaning do around this house over the next few weeks.  My 20 year old stepson is moving here from New Jersey and will live with us, so we have to make room.  Hoping my doc lets me stay off work until the first of February, because I have so much sick leave and I do pretty labor intensive work.....don't want to push it as long as I have the time.
