I got cleared for salad at week seven.  I had some the other day.  I had one cup.  I cut it up real good before eating, had two tablespoons of Marie's Yogurt Dressing (Blue Cheese) and no problems for me!  Now, granted all I had was the bagged salad and dressing...no croutons, eggs, bacon bits, garbanzos, cucumbers.....all my favorites from my old salad days.  LOL

Catalina Dressing...

Made a taco salad, sans lettuce (not allowed lettuce till end of July by my surgeon lol)...with catalina dressing... ate it a couple times last wk, I was fine. I think I must have put a little too much tonight...immediately after the last bite, stomach ache...

then it began...

intense cramping...sweating...shaking...and finally it ALL came flooding out (tmi lol)... I was literally praying out loud for God to make it stop bcuz I felt so horrible... My son was asking me for something to drink and I am in the bathroom almost in tears saying "Mommy is sick, just a minute" and it went on for about 10 mins....

Feeling a little better now but oh em gee....DUMPING is the worst.This is only the second time I've dumped and it's definitely not something I want to happen again, ever. I REALLY have to watch the sugar in everything, I can tolerate VERY VERY little. Natural sugars, like in fresh fruit, are not a problem at all... but any of the -oses...sucralose, lactose, fructose... NO BUENO. I can tell you that i won't be eating catalina dressing for a long long long time...

Way to go Heiti!!!!  I am so happy for you!!!  I am waiting for my twoderland.  LOL  I can't wait to get under 300.  28 pounds to go!  I'm glad you bought some new jeans.  I'm gonna need new undies soon.  These big ones are just not working.  LOL

WOW!! So cool!! I'm excited for you! Dance away, girlie!

Ok friends, after three days in a row just under the 200# mark I'm officially declaring the "onederland" is mine!!! This morning it was 198 and I'm just amazed. Somehow this doesn't seem like it's really happening to me. I had to buy some jeans because they could come down for restroom needs without being unfastened. And I treated myself to new undies because loose ones seems to crawl up into places I don't want them.
So today is party day (at least on the inside, since I have regular responsibilities that keep me from truly enjoying the day).
Heiti
