~ pull up a seat - Re: Protein train...off track? kinda long

[Guest guest]

thank you victoria...

i do actually understand the plumbing dynamic but i have actually

seen several of you give the answers i would give already so i will

summerize them... yes, how far bypassed does seem to have " some "

bearing on weather or not one dumps...

secondly toi is 100% correct it is so totally individual that even

the amount bypassed has only a partial bearing...we could all line

up eat the exact same thing the exact same amount and all be

bypassed the same and still only some of us dump and others not ...

it is completely a biochemical reaction to the insulin changes in

the body when food hits the innards...

and victoria you said it best(your last paragraph here, see below)

and i stuck to that same philosophy then i had to be a smart a$$ and

do what MY surgon says and TRY things to be NORMAL; as the purpose

is to be a normal healthy weight...sigh, so i opened some doors i

should have never opened as i found that i DO NOT dump!

i also have the belief that i can desensitize my insides like toi

was talking about in a previous post and i can become much more

sensitive... i cant shrink my pouch per say but absolutely can

retrain it, so .... like toi for me the protien train is a way to

fix my darn head as much or more than it is to fix my tummy....

and ....

one last thought thats rolling through my mind....i think it was toi

who said it... but when i do a protien train... a strict one i

absolutely feel good, not like i am starving that first day is

mostly head stuff i have analized in myself and at 10 months out i

still only rarely get actual hunger. it is almost a high and the

hardest thing for me is to make my family understand that I WILL NOT

starve in 3 days with out conventional food and it is a good thing

for my head and innards to prevent total derailment and that utter

defeat that i have gone through for so many years of my life... like

the last 35 of the 37 that i am...

and one last ray of hope... i took my mother in law to the dr

today ... we all know i have been stuck on 344 pounds since

october... well i stepped on his scale with shoes ect and set the

weights at 344... then had to keep moving them LEFT!!!! LEFT you

hear what i am saying???? it did not balance out till i got to

26!!!!!!! evidently i have lost some weight and the scale at work is

not weighing correctly... but my mother in law was in the hospital

over the weekend and weighed 124 and today she still weighed the

same so i trust the scale in the dr office not the digital one at

work... so hopefully the pleatau has broken and i now weigh

326 !!!!!!! 122 pounds less than march 5th~

:-) smiles and hugsss

and haven't eaten anything that could make me dump. Pre-WLS, you

could have your salty foods and fries, etc. I want sugary carbs and

lots of them. When I heard about Dumping Syndrome, I was further

convinced WLS was for me because, as I've mentioned before, I needed

something to stop my sugar eating from a physical stand-point.

There are two reasons I haven't tried the types of foods I used to

eat (cakes, cookies, etc), I don't want to dump as I've heard it's

terrible and I don't want to find out I don't dump as that would

open a very dangerous door for me.
