37 grams of carbs = nearly 4 units of insulin for me, so if I am going to indulge, I will indulge in something that doesn't send me to the can! Thanks fo your cautionary tale. It was a good one! :D

It's maltitol! Always always always check sugar free food for this ingredient. It even have my dog the runs so I check all dog treats for it. Many sf products use maltitol. Acts like a laxative. Not good LOL

Be really careful about keeping anything with xylitol away from your dog. Some people have had a pet get into sugar free gum & it can drop their blood sugar to deadly levels quickly, & also cause liver damage.

Although... if I can work out the right "dose" they're far more exciting than the 1/2 dose of Miralax I've been having to take every day to keep the Constipation at bay.

And fiber! They have fiber! See, they should be considered a supplement! (yeah, that's the ticket...)

So we were sitting around the office after hours talking about crapping our pants (sadly, this was weeks before this particular event)... I'm not kidding, the sewage-garbage duo is the crux of our professional lives. You probably don't want to know what else environmental health inspectors find acceptable workplace conversation topics...

Anyway, the general consensus was that if you say you have never had an oopsie in your droopsie, you're a total liar! So we are in good company! :P

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
