Hello my peeps...lol...well, not sure if this is what DUMPING, but it sure felt like a mini one. Yesterday I decided to try this new soup. Chicken noodle. The nutritional label had all the right values, so I said to myself, "Ok! let's try this." Lunch time came around, took all the noodles out and started to eat the broth, chicken and carrots. After I had a mini pita stuffed with 2tbsp of salmon. I ate half and started to feel pressure in my throat so stopped right away. Half hour later, I ran to the washroom. My mouth started to water like never before. It wasn't foaming as some say but it was extreme saliva. Felt the food wanted to come right back out but breathed through the nose hoping it would go away, which thankfully it did...lol...I know some "dumpers" experience wayyy more then this but nonetheless, I'm sure I had a mini one.

I forgot to mention in the previous post that while I was in Toronto, of course I HAD to do a little bit of shopping...lol I needed of winter coat and shoes. So I started with the jacket...I have been a 6X at Penningtons for ages. I comfortably now fit in a 4X..yay...and for shoes, I also have been for ages, a size 11Wide, and now actually fit in a 10 regular width. I couldn't believe it. The best part is that I realized that now I have choices, I don't have to simply scan the room to find the small selection of 6X's. Enjoy everyday!! Nathalie

Been a little while since I posted something...lol So I just got back yesterfay from Toronto. I had two 1-month follow appts. First was on Monday with Nutritionist then Tuesday with my wonderful surgeon. Nutritionist: She tall eat only nut and honey lol aml tsn la la la la la la la la la al al fish chicken al la king oh la la la la.que cest bon (omg, I wrote the word Nutritionist then went to the washroom and came back and my husband wrote what's after, what a nut job...too funny) ok, for real...lol Nutritionist: She took my weight to start, then my mom joined me in her office. She compared weight from beginning of OF and that day and it was -56lbs (9 weeks) then proceeded to ask in details my average daily intake. After typing it all in her pc, she asked the name of the company of my vits and asked me what I took and qty. She then asked me if I ever vomitted, dumped or had any other kind of problems, which I was very happy to say that I haven't. So now she said that it becomes "Trial and Error". The plate photo is my dinner from tonight and had no problems at all. Soooo happy. Surgeon: Of course they took my weight...lol...he checked my belly and since everything is well, I was done. I am officially in the 200's..yay!!!! ok, enough of my blog, off to read my lovely Ellen's book - Seriously....I'm kidding! Nathalie, xo.
