Well i think we made it thru our holidays??????

Hi All! I successfully made it through the holiday's! We had a standing rib roast on Christmas Eve and I ate about 1-2 oz. about 1/2 a baked potato and salad. Now...I really can not handle fat of any kind so the beef made me dump. I was so sick for the rest of the evening that I didn't eat anything else. On Christmas Day I ate a piece of cheese and some strawberries and 3 protein drinks....that is it! I sure didn't want to get sick again. I really eat very little any given day so on the 24th....that was a real pig out for me and I paid for it dearly! I will not eat anything with sugar in it as it makes me dump as well. Prior to surgery I prayed that I would be a dumper....well God sure did hear me! I don't think I will have a hard time keeping away for fatty foods or anything with sugar! I am on liquid penicillin and there sure is a lot of sugar in it. I go to the bathroom constantly with diarreha. Today is the last day for it! I am down 3 pounds this week.... Glad everyone else is ready to get started for the New Year! Also....went shopping yesterday and got into a size 6 jeans! Made my day! Sue 320/144/130 goal

Hi everyone. I stayed really focused and made good food choices. I didn't eat any sweets except for a few sugar free Reese's miniature PB cups. I know that my last 51 pounds to the doctor's goal are going to be a lot tougher than the first 108, and I really kept that in mind. Our Christmas is not over yet. We are celebrating at my parents tomorrow night, and then again at my aunt's on Friday. I know that I can make it!! Wishing everyone a wonderful night! Leslie 309/201/150

Hello fellow June post ops! I am kind of alurker and would like to get more involved on this site as a support system. Bare with me I do not know all the rules as of yet I did ok for the holidays but for about the past month I have been horrid. I find myself gettin on the "carb" diet. Nothing protein wise appeals to me. I try to get back to the basics but I have a hard time. I don't have much of a support system around my home. Is there a good way to get "recommitted" to the program. I feel so horrible for getting so far off track these holidays thats I worry I am going to ruin my "tool" Sorry to be such a whiner! I know it is up to me to do it and I am going to make myself get back on track!!! Darn these holidays!!!Thanks for listening, Anadelia

Lisa, as usual, you're my shero! I have found I can tolerate sugar which is not a good thing. I gained 2 lbs over the holidays, but I look at it as being much better than 10 or 20 which I might normally gain. I, unlike you, ate cake, brownies, candy, ..yep.. all of it. Nope none of it made me sick.. Ya know, you think you really want these things and find they really are no better than SF popsicles, fudgsicles, or even Crystal Light... Sometimes we just need to remember not to let our mind get the best of us... Congrats to you for doing just that!!
