Okay, I've done super terrific on my post and pre op diet. I'm down nearly 45 lbs! Today at work in our cafe they had these brownie/peanut butter/cookie things.
Now mind you they were "gluten free".
I had a terrible dessert craving/addiction pre surgery. My husband and I were dessert connoisseurs and I loved to bake. It was lunch time and I was hungry so I went for it.
I cut off a sliver, about the size of a half dollar at lunch and was fine. I boxed the rest up and meant to give the rest to my husband later that night. Turns out he had to stay out of town one more night and I found myself alone, hungry, tired and unprepared for dinner.
Anyway, I got into the brownie cookie and one thing led to another and I found myself with an empty wrapper and terrible feeling afterward.
I got dizzy, my heart was beating oddly and then I became terribly nauseated and eventually threw up and sick to my stomach.
Well, let's just say it was a hard lesson learned and I'm in bed now but I have a question. Why did this happen?
Is it because I've restricted myself from sugar for so long?
