M & Ms

Okay, this is really strange. I'm having surgery May 13th. So knowing this was the path I was going to take, I gave up chocolate candy for Lent. Today a co-worker thought we were all crabby, so she brought us some M & Ms in an Easter egg, probably about the amount in the vendo land package. I ate them. Boy, did I feel sick afterwards! I think this is a good thing! I DON'T LIKE CHOCOLATE ANYMORE!!!!!!! I am so ready for this! I've been able to distinguish what is emotional hunger and what is real hunger. I've pretty much been able to stop the emotional stuff, but I am just really hungry most of the time. Four weeks from today I will have crossed to the "other" side! Have a good evening! Lyn

Hi Lyn, This is way to funny! My granddaughter shared a couple of her M&M's today & they were wayyyy to rich! I'm scheduled for Tuesday (20th) for my surgery. Being diabetic I don't have chocolate much but those things sounded sooo good...YUCK!!!! Our minds sure work on us don't they? Good Luck with your surgery....Carolyn

i know what you mean. since i had my surgery i cant handle eating chocolate. when i smell chocolate i got sick right after my surgery. i still havent had a pop yet thank god......lynda

Can't even stand the thought of eating them now. I dumped on a graham cracker crust made with splenda - I'm sure that I would dump on m&ms. Congrats on learning how to control the "chocolate monster"!!~! God bless, Andrea

I had an M&M episode today ... Sunday! Was making up some little packets of munchies for a 'doings' at work. There were about 1/2 dozen M&M's left in my bowl when I finished and I popped them in. They were OKAY - but not GREAT like they would have been in the past. TO SUGARY. Every now and again I like to let a Hershey's Kiss melt decadently on my tongue. But typically it's just to much. That said ... I could still gorge myself silly on things like jelly beans and weird stuff like that. (No - I don't dump.) Well ... maybe I do. We were coming back from Nebraska last Sunday and pulled into the east side of Des Moines there by Adventureland. There was a ... can't remember it ... home of the butter burger ... CULVER'S??? Well, anyway we went there. I was SO HOT and when I walked in I saw CHOCOLATE MALT on the menu. Being so hot - that sounded great (and I don't usually really go much for ice cream). Well, also being vegetarian I opted for an order of onion rings. I know, I know ... but we were on a 'vacation' of sorts ... almost home - back to reality. Anyway, I sipped about 1/3 of my malt (yummy) and ate about 1/2 of the o-rings (yummy) ... got into the car and started the rest of our trip. About 15 minutes later - it was immediately imperative that we stop ... NOW!! And ... while I didn't FEEL sick - I did have diahrea. Don't think I'll try the o-ring/malt combo again any time soon. Question - Does MILK products cause dumping? Maybe I'm lacto-intolerant? I don't dump on anything else. Ramble, ramble ... sorry!
