Yes, I had that problem *really* that bad. It *does* improve, a LOT, by

about 3 mos., however, you can bring it on again by eating things with a

lot of fat in them.

What helped me a lot was to eat salad made out of lettuce, sliced

brocolli (comes in a package called " broccoli coleslaw " along with

sliced carrots, sliced cauliflower. I got it at Walmart).

Once I started eating that once a day, it just about cured the problem.

But if I eat anything that causes dumping (i.e., high sugar/dairy like

ice cream) or if I eat something with a lot of fat in it, wheweee!!!!

Hi! Update for 4 weeks

Hi Everyone . . I ahve been gone for 4 days and I returned to a HUGE list of

e-mail!!! WOW! I didnt realize how much I read in 1 day until 4 days are

plopped in! Goodness, I can't imagine being gone a week or 2! Whew!

Anyway, today is my 4 weeks (not 1 month, but 4 weeks) post-op date and I am

feeling GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have lost 29 lbs. I am sooo happy. I had

been

stuck between 21-23 for about a week,then I went away and came back to my

scale (which was calling me like fudge used to) and I hopped on to find in 4

days I had lost 6 more lbs . . YIPPEE I may make the 30 lbs. average after

all!

I have thrown up a couple of times, but most of the time it is meat. If I

eat

meat as quickly as I eat other food, I have to " get rid " of it. I do not

throw up like when you have the flu, rather it is like I realize my stomach

is too full (and I can FEEL the heaviness) and I just open my outh and spit

it right back out. Really wierd! I have had no prob at all with baked pork

chops and grilled ribs, but with chicken and 1 time beef it was bad! I had

dumping 1 time with peanut butter .,. . now I stay the heck away! I eat all

day long . . .I mean to tell you all day long! Ican eat absolutely anything

I

want, I just have really tiny portions of it and most fatty fodds just are

gross. I always do the " poison test " for my son and husband, and that tiny

taste is more than I want!!!! I never ever would have thought . . .

The really embarassing thing, though, is the gas and bowel movements. Wow.

My

husband says " Double Wow. " He wants me to ask how normal this is, even after

I reassured him I had read of others having this problem and he doesn't

believe everyone could have it this bad! He wants me to e-mail Dr. Rutledge

to ask why in the world my gas and poop is so horribly stinky. I told him I

didn't think Dr. R would appreciate that kind of an e-mail in addition to

his

500!!!! So, I am asking you all now (and Dr. R if you are reading) do you

all

have HORRIBLE " stinkies " (as my son calls them) and does anyone know WHY??

We

eat less for Heaven's sake!

A side story on that . . I had to rush to the RR in K-mart the othe day

with

my son (which I don't know how I am going to last 80 min. class periods when

school is back in session) and I had to take my 3 yr old. I didn't want him

where I couldn't see him so he had to come in the stall with me. There were

other people in the RR including someone next door, and all my son kept

saying was " Mommy, you are so stinky.. Oh Mommy, it is rotten. Mommy let me

out of here " Can you imagine what the other women were thinking! HAHA Out of

the mouths of babes, right!?!!!??

Anyway, I go to my Dr. Monday afternoon for my officvial 1 month check-up ,

but i am doing GREAT . . . 3 more days of carafate! WOOOOO hOOOOOO
