Topic: RE: How do you feel when you look at your before picture

Most of my before pictures made me feel terrible. One day I decided that I did not need to see them and nobody else needed to either. I gathered them up and put them through the shredder.

Topic: Off Topic: Do you have a unique Thanksgiving dish you make?

Looking for ideas that are not off the normal Thanksgiving menu. I am making all that but am thinking of trying to make a few new dishes for my family to try. Do you have any favorite dishes/recipes you make each year that are different than all the regular dishes? I would love some new ideas.

Topic: RE: Dumping Syndrome

I agree - probably not dumping. Maybe a food intolerance? Some bariatric patients develop lactose intolerance - or intolerance to certain artificial sweeteners (esp sugar alcohols - those whose names end in -itol (like xylitol))

Topic: RE: Dumping Syndrome

Dumping happens with RNY because the valve that keeps food from dumping directly into the intestines is no longer there. The valve is intact with DS. Dumping involves fast heartbeat, sweating, dizziness, and weakness. It is not diarrhea, but diarrhea can happen with dumping.

Something else is happening with you. Discuss with your doctor.

Topic: Dumping Syndrome

Hello, All,

I have severe diarrhea sometimes it has me up all night long. I probably have this happen 4 nights per week. I may have a solid stool once or twice a week. Does this sound like dumping syndrome? I do not have any other signs.

Thank you!

Topic: RE: Former "My 600-lb. Life" Stars - What They Look Like Today

A study was done on TBL people. It found the diet crashed their metabolism permanently (which is separate from the drop in caloric needs due to the actual weight loss). Plus, on the show, they spent significant amounts of time every day exercising which they could not maintain after returning home. It was a recipe for failure. The people on that show did not have WLS unless it was part of their history.
