I'm glad she had a better day and hope today will be a good one too. You're doing great getting your Bites done right. Drink up!

I ate stuff yesterday that I haven't eaten since before my DS and don't plan to again...in the same day at least.

Brunch-egg/sausage on top of biscuit
S-Felafel's? few bites...didn't care for it...
D-1/2 serving lasagna, 1.5 bread sticks, salad
S-1 choc glazed dough nuts

Now...let's pause a second and look at this. I don't generally even attempt pasta, and my "sweets" I decide on aren't bready...and if I eat bread, it's the only carb of the meal. So all this together on the same day...WOW.

The day was suppose to be a nice grilled, wholesome meal at this cool, local Mediterranean cafe that was featured on triple D. We got in right as they were closing from 3-5 for lunch, menu was limited. I decided that if I was going to pay 20 bucks for a meal, I wanted the freakin awesome lamb, tabbouleh and salad... I had came for! So we left after appetizers.

It went downhill from there. The only other thing I could think of I had been wanting to eat was Mexican or Italian. I initially chose something called baked chicken mushroom Alfredo stuff with WW pasta. I sent it back...ugh, was awful. So I chose lasagna as the replacement since everything else was meatball this or that. It went down REALLY good. I enjoyed that meal.

Then I had the KK, not bad at all. Feeling a bit icky..not too bad. Then I warmed up my leftovers later.
Sigh...
2 bites in and that's all she wrote. I spent a few hours fighting the nausea till I had to let it go. Then, spent the rest of the night gassy, bloated, SICK....and hooked up to TPN., in and out of the restroom.
Yup...this is why I stick to a good diet. Not just my health, my weight, but my overall well being. I do not ever want to spend another moment being sick because of my food. It's insane and I do not know how others who get this surgery can handle it.

I hear you. I can't take being that miserable because I want something I know will mess me up. Once in awhile and only a few bites is fine but if someone is overdoing it all the time, then something is wrong.
