6 Month check up

I went for my 6 month check up yesterday and I'm doing great. All my blood work is good except my B12 was a little high and the doctor cut my synthroid pill to half of what I was taking. The last six months have been a good journey for me. Nothing makes me sick and I just feel good. I don't eat fried foods or sweets . I've tasted of stuff with sugar just to see if I would dump and I don't . Sometimes I wi**** would make me sick. It's getting harder not to eat the "good stuff". I am going to a support meeting in the morning so maybe they can get me through this time of wanting something . Judy

You are doing great, Judy! Don't be too quick to assume that you don't dump. Some of us dump sometimes, but not all the time. For me it has to do with quantity of sugar and whether I ate protein first or not. May your next 6 months be as great as the first... Joy

Hi Judy: Glad to hear that you are doing so well. I have tried sugar and don't dump at all, unfortunately. I am trying to eat fruit when I crave sweets, or I have a tiny piece of sweets. I think this maintenance will be the hardest time for me - I could always lose weight but just could not keep it off. I hope to do so now. Good luck to you. Louise

Congratulations Judy! I've had a pretty uneventful 6 months too. Only had one dumping type thing (no vomiting just running to visit the potty) when I had 1/4 a cup of a regular sugary slurppy. Now my 7-11 carrys sugar free crystal light slurrpys!!!! YUM I've been able to curb cravings with drinking water. Down 86 pounds and now at 191 this is the first time that I'm under 200 pounds since I was 11years old (now I'm almost 52) YIPPIE!!!!!!!! good luck and god bless, pam
