Sugar Is Evil

When I had my 3 month post-op appointment I had told Deb that I didn't dump. Well... I finally learned my lesson about sugar. (I always thought I was immune to sugar.) Sugar is evil. I learned not to test limits. I've been a bad, bad, girl. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT eat: 3 pieces of cheesecake a coffee shop muffin flan Dunkin' Donuts hot chocolate 1/2 a bottle of Fu-ki Plum Japanese Wine in a time frame of 2 days YOU WILL DUMP & WANT TO DIE I am now in recovery, tuna for lunch. Also, no more Splenda. It tastes great, but there are still carbs in it. I use at least 12 packets in a large coffee so I must be getting at least 10 carbs right there. Not good. Stacey 254/188/???

Hi Stacey, You're looking great! Thanks for the post, I too feel I'm immune to sugar, I had surgery on 11/16 and I've yet to be sick even once. However, I've yet to eat something I shouldn't. After reading your post, I don't think I will ever test the sugar waters. No way do I want to go through all that for a piece of cheesecake. Forgive yourself for the 2-day binge and keep going, your really looking great. Best of luck...

Ouch Stacey... sounds like you did learn your lesson. I have tempted fate and I do not dump. Not necessarily a good thing. If I do eat too much sugar, I just get sleepy for about a half hour. Sometimes I wish I would so I would think twice before I open my mouth... Hugs, Maggie

You are so funny - sorry that happened to you! How is your sister making out? xoxo, Phyllis
