Now somethings will make me feel funny no matter when I eat them (baklava, for example). But not a "full dump" and I know that too many carbs, dumping or not, is going to eventually result in a massive blood sugar drop. So my body still has checks and balances.

Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
But my eternal love for them actually comes from the fact that they have more than just the standard sugar-free drink triumvirate (water, plain unsweetened iced tea and Diet Coke). Before my meal came I had something called Fiesta Tea which was unsweetened and citrusy. They have a few other iced tea flavors that you sweeten yourself as well as some great decaf hot tea offerings (like a divine peach tea!).
I just love...them...

One of the most prolific things I learned (and I credit Shari for this is) that you can eat a lot of FOOD without eating a lot of calories. And you can eat a lot of FOOD for not alot of calories, that doesn't have a lot of CARBS.
Once I figured that out it was on like popcorn. Now I enjoy decent sized, low calorie, low carb, high protein meals. With zero guilt.
And every now and again I go crazy like I did last night. Again, zero guilt. This is the life I wanted to live food-wise.
