Congratulations! Me next?!

Where r u in the process?

I have been through a three month education/evaluation process with my dr's clinic. Ive lost 30 pounds in 4 months, planning RNY but had a panic attack last two weeks, fearing that i can never taste the sweet things like my family recipes, or german chocolate frosting. I am feeling much better after reading these threads. Waiting for insurance to approve it. My main problems are diabetes and joint pain.

I dont really cook with sugar for past 10 years anyway, due to my diabetes. So i just need to learn to make a few more things without sugar. I know i can make sugarfree german chocolate frosting, just need to try.

Re dumping syndrome- sounds a bit like my big glucose swings. I get flushed and sweaty and a little nausea at least once a month. (rapidly dropping glucose when my insulin peaks- i have severe insulin resistance- )I have to avoid pasta and white bread and rice- only eat whole grain now (well yes i cheat sometimes) so the RNY will be my tool to quit cheating too.

These posts are really helping me see the future with less fear or anxiety.
