About 5 weeks out...sugar makes me feel like I'm going to die!

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?

Maybe a carb overload. I suggest maybe cutting way back...carbs are NOT our friends! Also, ask your NUT about this. Good luck to you.

Sounds kinda like dumping syndrome
