slip back

Does anyone else have no problem eating all the wrong foods? I have no problem with sugar. This really really scares me. Of course I can't eat as much as I used to but I was really hoping to have a bad reaction to sugar. Instead I have a bad reaction to some pork products and different types of cooked chicken.I know I am probably looking into this too deep this soon, but what happens in a few years and I am able to eat anything. That is what got me in trouble in the first place. I keep having dreams about me eating non stop. Small meals all day long. I think it is because I am afraid that I am eating too many times a day. I am going to call my nutritionist today and find out what she has to say. Sorry I jsut wanted to share my fears with someone who may understand. Your sister in WLS Chandi 305/205/?

I think many of us are having the same fears! I too can ate sugar But I do only eat a bite or 2 and quit. Pre surgery days I would just eat until I was sick sometimes! So sad. I think something that is very important is realizing what you are doing. Be aware of what you are eating everyday!! Keep a journal if need be. We have a wonderful tool. A tool is all it is though. WE have to take personal control of ourselves. Time is now. We have come too far to go back to our old ways!! Blessings Tonya

I am having the same problem. I have been eating like a pig the last week with no problems at all. I gained 2 pounds and it has really got me freaked out. I feel like I am going back to the old ways and there is nothing to stop me now. I need to get control of this now though because I don't want to be a big failure. Good luck! Melissa

I am dealing with some of these same fears too... However, I know that I am eating nowhere near what I was eating before surgery, and I still have the tool to help when I do feel like I am eating too much. I'm just glad I can finally feel full, so that I know when I have had way too much... or when I am getting to that point. And sometimes that is less than a cup of food, sometimes it is over a cup. I guess it just depends on the density of what I am eating. I also guess the plateau I am on makes these fears a little more realistic as well... I have got to get back to more of the basics again as well.... We'll all get there though... I have confidence in us all!!!!! Susan Lap RNY 12-1-04 285-189-155 (-96)

I have some dumping signs. If I eat to much chocolate I get kind of short of breath and will get the runs really bad and spend sometime on the Sometimes I feel light headed but other wise I can eat sugar. I think a lot of people don't suffer from dumping. I'm trying to snack on good things like pork rinds and Beef Jerky. Donna 338/208 -130

I too am not exempt from sugar....Is it a lie, bc i only get a little "drunk" feeling, nothing makes my vomit/diarhea ever!!!! I really can eat whatever. thank God for the tool...and the fact i have made a new pact with myself to eat/drink a salad,protein shake everyday...to keep honeyroasted peanuts cashews and fat free pringles out of my mouth....I have NEVER liked snacks.....ONly good food,,,,now what the *bleep* is up with that. ok we all must be feeling some form of this. dee

Chandi, Please let us know what you find out. I to am afraid that I am eating to much... I do not want to be the way I was, my health is really so much better... Do not be sorry about sharing your fears... That is what we are here for... Brenda 242/173/?

Hi WLS sister, I'm feeling the exact way. I can eat anything. Although it isn't near the amount but I'm grazing most days. Yesterday I ate a peanut butter cookie and a oatmeal raisin cookie, then before bed I ate a chocolate zinger. I feel so guilty and I feel like a failure, especially when I've only lost 77 pounds. I've been this exact weight for the entire month on June. I would like to know what your nutritionist says. I'm too embarrassed to call my surgeon's office. Razzz

Chandi, I am so glad you posted this! I have been having problems every since vacation and I let myself eat snacks. Now I seem to be snacking all day long. I can't seem to get a grip. Nothing makes me sick!!! Deana
