Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 This is pathetic but I still have trouble understanding my bodies signals. You'd think I'd have caught on by now. Had RNY distal open surgery 1-21-02 so I'm 15 months out now. Started at 458 and am now at 248. I WAS at 243 but I bounce back & forth a few pounds depending on my salt intake, monthly cycle & so on. Sometimes I'm SO dang gassy it's shocking. Sometimes it is totally odor free, other times I run from myself! Then sometimes I feel so bloated with gas that needs out that I suffer very painful gas pains in lower abdomin & even in right shoulder. Just awful!! Am I correct when I think that this happens most when my protein intake has been too low for a day or two? I also wonder why my pouch rumbles & roars like it is starving! I can put my hand over my tummy area & actually feel the hard rumbles. I may have already eaten not too long ago! I don't feel hungry but when I have this, I go ahead & eat something anyway. Feed the lion! What causes the occasional deep hard sick painful cramps in my lower intestines that then leads to very loose (and gagging odor) diarrhea? It hits out of the blue! Usually late at night. My weight loss has totally stopped. to my dismay. I want to get it going again but there has been alot of stress lately & I eat too many carbs. I also use Splenda EVERY SINGLE DAY. This year I have developed a sweet craving. So I use Splenda ALOT. Another thing. I can't seem to tolerate fish, poultry, or pork. I can eat ham. I can eat certain beef. NEVER GROUND BEEF. Ground beef is a certain disaster! I'm literally living on low cottage cheese, sugar free jello, sugar free pink lemonade, water, 2 cups of coffee at least 3 times a week, those ham lunchables that have ham, cheese & crackers in the package, string cheese for a snack, sometimes if I crave crunch I'll have Cherrioes cereal with Splenda & skim milk, sometimes I'll eat peanuts, sometimes I'll eat saltine crackers with either cheese or maybe a bit of peanut butter. When I'm starved for real crunch & high flavor I'll eat a few chips & salsa. I've quit the sugar free popsicles because of my dental work, instead I've eaten way too many sugar free cookies with the grand children!! The calories are HIGH!! Well that's my sad story. What is my body telling me? I still can't figure out WHAT to eat and when to eat. Good grief. Thanks to anyone that responds.
