Fee I've not tried alcohol either, I'm too scared to try after my dumping episode, so I too will be avoiding it this year. I took kids to derby ice rink, needless to say I watched as I do every time. Wasn't brave enough to attempt it yet. Bet you had an amazing time :) xx

Well fee, I had one glass of wine at about 12 today and it went straight to my head, cannot believe I was drunk on one glass. Other than being drunk I was fine, no dumping and just lately I dump on everything!! Don't think il be drinking again though if I get drunk that quick. Dietician did warn me it wouldn't take much. From sober to sloshed in just one glass....!!! Have a lovely Christmas xx
 
Good luck! Let us know how it goes :) Have a lovely new year and enjoy 2014!
 
I agree with Frankie - diluted J20 is OK with me too.

And as for profiteroles and chocolate ... Been there and worn the t-shirt. My NAS Angel Delight incident was so bad I thought I was going to die. Never again! Don't beat yourself up - we do these things and the consequences (usually) mean we won't repeat the exercise! Hugs. Gotta love the bypass!

Season's greetings to you all! xxx
 
Hope you all had an incident free great Christmas everyone :)
Dumped on my tbsp of limoncello but nobody really noticed as we all had an attack of the sleepies after dinner :p

Frankie hope you've had a good Christmas and are on the road to recovery...
Quick question. do you always feel sleepy when you dump? I've had quite a few episodes recently on things that I could previously tolerate, have fell into a really deep sleep after, was a bit worried about it till I just read this.
 
I certainly do feel sleepy if I dump. And not just tired but almost like narcolepsy type sleepy

Thanks Yvessa, that's exactly how I've been feeling, it's reassuring to know that its perfectly normal. Think I'm gonna be someone who is sensitive to dumping.. I'm glad really as it will keep me on the straight and narrow. Still really finding my feet with what I can and cannot have, and this changes all the time. I'm only 8 weeks out so still a newbie.
 
I don't seem to get all the dumping consequences at the same time. Just one of them. If I do eat something wrong I'll either be very tired, or my tummy plays up. Or I get sweaty, or shaky. Or a bit spacey or sick-feeling. Never more than one of those things - is that usual? I never know which it will be.

I suffer two types of dumping the first is when I eat something too sugary. It's hits me within minutes and it's the typical scenario which usually ends up as Yve described in a deep sleep ..I have passed out on the loo once :eek:
The second type is when I eat too much "fat" & is similar but it hits me hours later & doesn't involve "the sleepies"
 
Happy new year all! I did write a post on here the other day but it's not gone on for some reason.
Hope u all had a good Xmas and new year. We had a quiet new years Eve at home had a Chinese (I just had some noodles and satay veg) feeling really good finally took my jeans back to asda and got a size 22 still have plenty of room in them but didn't want to get to hopefully and try a 20! Also got a nice bright jumper still a 24 but probs a 22 would of been fine! I'm almost back to being able to buy clothes from normal places! Woo hoo! I still can't get used to not having to hunt for the biggest sizes! My head is still stuck at a size 26/28 does that make sense? Anyway love and blessings to you all on your journeys. Let's make 2014 a good one. I know I am!
Ps 6 week post op appt tomorrow at Derby! (3weeks late! Lol)

Hiya Well I hope it's the pre op for you. I did get my op date before pre op date but then the lady in the bed opposite me was told about 8 days before she was having the op so it's all different!
Cat the meetings r the last wed of the month so I think it will be the 29th x off to Derby soon for me! X x
 
I fall asleep after eating a lot.....I don't feel sick/sweaty etc like I have when I've had something I shouldn't. I just tend to feel washed out and my back starts hurting so I lay down for an hour or so. But I'm still carrying 25 stone around.......I'm hoping it will change as the weight comes off!

Well all went well at my Derby appt. The dietician was very pleased with me and couldn't believe how well I looked considering I was so Ill after the op but all that seems long gone now!
I've lost 2st 2lb since the op 5st 10 in total! Only thing was she said I need to get a bit more red meat in a week but other than that all good! X
 
great news fee keep up the good work hope they dont want me on red meat post op i hate red meat
