Yes, frustrating is the word. I can't eat a bowl of cold cereal with milk, no matter how healthy a one it is! But put a bar of chocolate or bag of candy or cake or carbs etc etc in front of me and I can eat and not dump til the cows come home. Sigh ~ strange , but there it is

Hi. It is probably just the carbs from the cream of wheat. I also dump on it with nothing added to it. I also dump on oatmeal. I don't even want to think of eating a cold cereal for this reason. I used to eat a lot of cereal, but I may of had one bowl of cold cereal since surgery. I won't even touch milk now. It's never made me sick or anything, but I'm afraid to drink it. I used to drink a lot of milk. It just doesn't appeal to me anymore. Good luck. Paula

Topic: dumping dumping dumping
okay so sometimes I have some sugar on my cream of wheat, and some times I have some splenda on my cream of wheat, and some time I have some margarine on my cream of wheat, and some times I have milk on my cream of wheat, and some times I just want to scream. I can not seem to find a 'recipe' for my cream of wheat that I can get it down without dumping. even now, almost 3 hours later, I am dumping, have been for about 20 minutes, my heart is racing, my fingers are shaking, and it just doesnt seem fair. I can devour chocolate, chocolate cake, candy mints, but something in my cream of wheat is just wigging me out. at first I thought it was the coffee that I was drinking in the morning, but no coffee for a week to test the problem, it has to be the cream of wheat, now I start making it with water, and just add a little milk at the end to keep it soupy consistency. I am just mad, cream of wheat should be good for me. not a dumping trigger. Kat (texas) http://www.wretchedheathen.com

1. What are you eating now that you never thought in a million years you'd enjoy Salads...nevr liked them much..kinda crave them now!! 2. Are there activities that you do now that would never have entered your mind before surgery? I love riding my bike and not get tired or winded! walking without about dying.. 3. Were there any surprising results of w.l.s. that you weren't expecting? Didn't think I'd have that "old" look!! wrinkles and all that!! I can fit into my hubbys jeans!! Haven't done that in 39 years!! 4. Emotionally, what do you think is the toughest part of this journey? It takes a toll on me with the weight not coming off the way I thought it would!! Luckily,my hubby had the same surgery,so I don't have to worry about him,he makes good remarks to me about my weight loss...

Topic: RE: Is exercise a "bad" word
Hey Trish.. there is something to be sad about having a trainer. I have one and it makes me go to the gym to exercise. It's like you cant get out of it. I also think it is important to create your own routines and design it to do the things you like to do. I think the bottom like comes down to if you want to continue the added cost for having one. It doesnt hurt but you can do it on you own if you set up you own program. I have my own program set up so I can train when I am not with them. YOu may want to considerer going to once a week or an occassional meeting and do the rest yourself. that way they can upgrade your program once in a while and make sure you are still on track with your workout routine.

Topic: Slimming Clubs?
Have any of you thought about joining a slimming club? My friend lost 5.5 pounds this week on Slimming world and has been losing really well consistantly. Actually she is doing much better than I am. I only lost that much in one week in the early days first out after wls. So I'm thinking of joining her to try and get this weight moving again. What do you think?
