Guest guest Posted August 3, 2000 Report Share Posted August 3, 2000 Ok guys, today is my 3 month birthday. All together now.... " Haaapppy Birthdaaaayy toooo meeee! " Yep, 3 months ago, I was waiting for Christmas, my chance to dance with the doctor. As of this morning, I had lost 45.5 lbs. That, I must admit, is a bit of a disappointment. I had wished for more, but hey, it's not bad. It's just that I have NEVER beeen AVERAGE at anything before.... (she says in her southern drawl.....) I has been a wonderful, glorious experience. Some parts are very hard. The hardest part for me was the second month. I didn't lose any weight for a few weeks and was getting despondent! Exercise helped the weight loss. I can't say I love it, but I haven't been exercising the last couple of weeks and guess what....I haven't lost any weight either. SO tonight, I am back on the track, walking my butt off....literally! I am a member of the green team. I can throw up at the drop of a hat. Sometimes I don't throw up for days and I think it is over and then I throw up again. Can't tell what causes it. It really isn't too much of a problem EXCEPT when you have MGB guests visiting and you can't drive home from Durham because you keep having to pull off to the side of the road. (It was an exception to the rule!) I love the people on these lists. I can't believe how close I feel to so many of you. We truly are connected at the heart! I know that you are there to lift me up when it is hard and to push me on when I need that too, and ALWAYS to make me laugh! Only problem is that I work from home and some days like yesterday, I just can't stay off email! I can't imagine how people get through this without the support of each other. So, until next time, that is is the update for now. Safe journey, MGB 03 MAY 00 Safely on the other side!!!!

When people are bulimic people get very worried because of what frequent vomiting can do to your stomach lining and esophagus. So what is the difference here? Does this vomiting thing last forever? Just concerned... Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this vomiting thing last > forever? Just concerned... I don't know the answer to your question. I think it varies from person to person. But... it doesn't feel like when you have a virus, you just throw up and immediately feel better. It doesn't have anything to do (for me, that is) with eating too much. It i just whatever I eat doesn't sit well. Safe journey, MGB 03 MAY 00 Safely on the other side!!!!

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2000 Report Share Posted August 3, 2000 Me Too , This is a new tummy, and it decides what you like. For now anyway. Remember this stomach is used to getting processed food form the upper stomach and now we are just tossing whole foods to it. Sometimes it says nope don't want this and up it comes. It's not violent it doesn't hurt. Now the acid reflux is a totally different story. That is so vile and I do everything humanly possible to not relive that. It is not an everyday thing. and most of the post-ops that are farther out don't have it anymore. Don't worry, The Green team is better!!! I have visited the orange team and believe me Green Rules!

Holly >> Nope Holly, I had a dream that I was painting toe nails in the recovery room. Go figure. But all the cool people were wearing green. I have to say that a soft green is much better than ORANGE.
