No Longer Overweight!

[heatherjudson 62]

I’m so excited to share that I’m no longer overweight. This surgery has been the best decision of my life. I have had a few stalls so for those of you in a stall hang in there! I pretty much eat what I want except high sugar foods, rice and bread. I work out 3-5 times a week at Equinox. I do spin, Pilates and boxing. I’m 20 lbs away from my goal weight and fitting into size 8 and medium clothes. One thing I’m trying to do is avoid designers and stores that don’t have plus size clothing. They didn’t want my business when I was a size 18 so they don’t get it now. Good luck to everyone going through this process!

So happy for you!!

I really like the way you think about clothing stores too.

Pink Nova - There are some foods that will trigger my food coma. The way dumping syndrome manifests for me is that I get hot and flushed, a tummy ache and then I lie down and pass out for 1-4 hours depending on how bad the offense was. Most bread does that except potato bread for some reason. I can always eat 4 bites of anything and risk a very mild reaction.

Thanks. I’m very curious about the dumping thing since I’m new at this.

This is very interesting to me, how you describe your dumping symptoms. I feel like this has happened to me before and I didn't realize it was dumping. Hmmm, I will def keep better track next time.
