So, today I had a minor medical procedure involving the removal of a small lipoma and a calcified hematoma from my left upper arm. It had been there since my horrible car wreck in April 2014 and while I could always feel it it was not visually noticeable until I lost about 60 pounds. Same side that I also have a titanium clavicle thanks to the uninsured driver (of a 2013 Mercedes) that totaled my beautiful 2013 Infiniti G37. But that is another story....

So the procedure went great, very easy with local anesthetic only and just a tiny incision. Jim brought me home and I ate 1/2 of a leftover Whataburger PattyMelt (no bun) and some green Beans, Started watching some Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (don't judge me😜🤪) and decided to have a sugar free popsicle and had both halves which is technically too soon after eating but it went okay. So I had 2 more halves, then a handful of dark chocolate chips THEN 2 sugar free fudgsicles (in a short period of time). This was followed by major pain and ended with throwing up twice. This is only the second time I have thrown up since surgery in May.

WTF IS WRONG WITH ME?? I know better than this and I have absolutely no idea what happened. I was not stressed from the nothingburger procedure and was perfectly fine but could not shut off the intake valve. It would have been worse if I had any worse foods here. I am very disappointed in myself and am really trying to understand what is going on.

Glad your procedure went well hon!!!! Wooohooo on not having the bumps and pain from it any more!!! But dang on the titanium clavicle. So glad "they rebuilt her!" Maybe you were just really hungry? And off your schedule? And were feeling like, "Ohhhh I just had this done, I'ma "treat myself" a little with Dr. Feelgood stuff..." And blammo! Blowin' chunks! I wish I knew why we do what we do. It's so forkin' irrational. Right?!!! ((hugs)) Tomorrow/tonight is another day. Sorry you're feeling puny now. Real Housewives...:D I will never condemn you. Maybe one day I will share my RTV vices. hehe

I actually 'THOUGHT' I was posting this on the sophomore thread so it does not make any sense on the IF thread. I would move it if I had any idea how to. My apologies🙄

First, get well soon. Hope the healing goes quickly.

Secondly, I think we all go through this at times, where eating is almost a compulsion. We just need to shake it off and get back in the game.

Miz60. Nothing wrong with you last month I had parathyroid surgery to remove a cancerous tumor. It’s all good but 3 days later had 6 SF popsicles and 1/2 cup of my husband Peanut Butter blast ice cream. So good and the next morning so mad at myself. I went up and down 5-7 pounds for the last 3 weeks. But thanks to the Bypass Gods today I weighed in at 199. I have found Onederland. And it’s so beautiful here don’t want to ever leave it. You are strong get that hydration in and will meet you here soon :)

Dang girl! You are doing so so so well!!! I didn't realize it came back cancer. ((hugs)) Do you have to do radiation or chemo? Don't worry about the bounce, it's all surgery related. That's my opinion!! And congrats on Onderland!!! Wahhhhoooooooo!!!!!!! Please let me know if you ever want/need to chat or talk!!! I have broad shoulders--or maybe I'm just a broad!

How I Spent My Christmas Vacation...

Sooooo got the test results back from my surgeon AND outted my IF self to her too! She's not a hater. And is totes on board with it! Yippeee!!! I told her like @sillykitty, the more I eat, the more I want, and the hungrier I am and that IF helps me understand the hunger does not represent an emergency situation (most of the time and in most cases...for me only...it might be one for you and you do YOU!) and that it's ok to have set times when you don't eat. That my hunger actually decreases and I can control portions better. She said goforit! #goforit

So I probably have a small hernia. It showed on the motility test but he didn't see it on the EGD. And she also wants me to follow up for another esophagus dilation. She said, we can just watch it now, but will chat again in February (1 year surgiversary) about surgery for it if I continue to feel this amount of discomfort.

It's NBD. I told her, I can and do still eat...I'm like the mailman, NOTHIN' will keep me from my food and liquids. LOL. But it just doesn't feel that awesome. But to be off almost all my meds now is totes worth any inconvenience having to drink slower or eat slower presents! Hell, maybe I will finally find my restriction!

They took a buttload of blood today to try to see if I have any Vitamin issues that are contributing to me going bald. #bald30hairsatatime.

Have I mentioned, I just love this woman! She's a phenomenal surgeon and is so caring and detailed.

Oh and she said I was at a really good weight/size right now and look phenomenal and am a success story!!! She said for me to get to 130lbs is possible but it's gonna take balls-to-the-walls-hard-work. So she said, if I'm willing to do the work it was entirely possible.

The End.

I was thinking about this too just a little while ago and did not realize the parathyroid came back as cancer either. Please, @clsumrall let us know here or elsewhere what is up with that and what, if any, further treatment you will be getting.

Don't be too hard on yourself. We all have those days. The important thing is it doesn't become everyday.

Sometime we just have to get things out of our system. A while back ago I was visiting a city that has a restaurant with some of my favorite food in the world. I ordered delivery to my hotel and ate it for the next two days. I didn't eat because I was hungry, I ate because it was delicious and I wanted to keep eating it. But I got it out of my system, and I don't even feel guilty about it because it had no overall effect on my weight loss.
