Guest guest Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 I am 10 weeks postop and up until yesterday I have been very diligent about getting in my protein, avoiding carbs, etc. Yesterday I went to my best friend's house and it was a carb fest. At dinner I did OK, ate mostly protein with just a couple of spoonfuls of mashed potatoes. But a few hours later I hit the cornbread dressing pretty hard, and then even later I scarfed down a bunch of flavored crackers. This morning I got my fat hiney back on the wagon and have done fine, but the lesson is---the pouch did not stop me from majorly overeating. I don't dump with high fat foods, and I'm staying away from the high sugar foods, assuming they will cause me to dump (and I don't want to know if they won't). But a lot of carbs went down really easily! I guess if I only have a splurge day every 10 weeks that's not so bad, but I did learn that the pouch can only help us so much, and the rest is up to us. I have found that the less carbs you eat, the less you crave them so I'm back with this program and I can live with it. Just thought I would share my experience.
