6 weeks post-op

Aug 01, 2011

Well I'm 6 weeks post op now and I am feeling pretty good.  I have lost 37 lbs and 8 inces off of my waist.  I have been back to the bariatric clinic in Windsor and last week I went for my follow up appointment with Dr. Foute-Nelong.  Both are very happy with me.  I have started a second job and for the most part am handling it quite well.  The other day though my son was here and we were dealing with a very stressful situation and suddenly I started to feel nauseous.  I asked him to stop talking to me about what we were discussing and then dumping syndrome hit.  It lasted for about 2 hours, I'm sat on the toilet for what seemed forever and there was nothing left!  I asked my support group it stress can do this to you and they said yes.  I had not eaten anything different that day so I am inclined to think the stress was the cause.  I was told to go lock myself in a room and lie down and zone out.  Wow, this is a totally different experience for me....I handle stress pretty good most times.  I wonder if this is temporary or will last for a long time.
