Weight: 242.5 lbs.
Today was a Groundhog Day repeat of a recent Saturday, maybe even last, in which I was stupid enough to get so hungry and thirsty while marathon garage-sale-ing, that I then overate and drank at a pizza buffet soon after.
Once again, I had mistakenly believed that the 24-ounce decaf I brought along would sustain me for what turned out to be five hours of schlubbing through town and buying people’s castoffs. Unfortunately, the coffee lasted only about three hours, leaving me dehydrated and starving yet too dumb and determined to fit in more sales to stop anywhere for a drink or a bite. Plus, Tom and I were on a great roll, and I hated to break the momentum.
Needless to say, at 2:00 when we did stop (partly due to the fact that it had begun to rain), I was so famished that I took like half a dozen slices of pizza from the buffet, and poured myself a huge glass of water. I couldn’t decide what to do first, so I sinfully drank then ate then drank then ate — basically, I did what any non gastric-bypass person likely would have under similar circumstances.
Although I took many pieces of pizza, I did “only” (note quotations around this word!) eat bites off each and left the crust on all. Still, all told, this likely amounted to possibly the equivalent of two or three whole slices! And what seemed like gallons of water too.
When I got home, I couldn’t decide where things needed to come out of me first and, to spare you the details, suffice to say that every orifice was involved.
Dumb, dumb, dumb!! You’d think that I would have learned from a nearly identical situation so recently. I may have a Master’s degree, but apparently am a flunkee at nutrition and WLS!
Back to the drawing board, I guess. Hopefully others will learn and benefit from my stupidities and measure their successes by not emulating me! If so, I guess that I won’t feel as badly about my own trials and tribulations, knowing that these — and my public admittance of them — may help others do better. Pretty altruistic of me, huh?! Sigh….

So, on the left hand side is “Free PDF Reports.” I read the “Pouch Rules” and thought it is pretty interesting. Have you had a chance to read it and if so what do you think about it? Also, “Drugs that Can Damage the Pouch.” Maybe this will explain why you may have an ulcer.
Barb,
Don’t forget that I write for, edit and manage this site…as in, I have not just read, but helped develop whatever is on here! As to whether I follow it or not, that is another subject. LOL! BinB
