Follow up to Marsha's Donut Post

I was perusing Melting Mama's blog tonight and came across this recent entry...I thought it worthy to share because if you're new(er) to our board and/or OH in general, Melting Mama is a post op bariatric patient that had RNY almost 5 years ago. She suffers from hypoglycemia & seizures. She's incredibly blunt with her writing IMO, but I like her style nonetheless because she shoots straight. So, after having read Marsha's donut post, I saw this & like I said - felt it worthy to share. Take what you need, leave the rest on the shelf.


"If you CHOOSE TO EAT LIKE **** - YOU WILL FEEL LIKE ****

Yes, I think it's a choice.  After living with forced freakish guts for nearly five years, what I put in my mouth is my choice.  I can eat anything I want to.

Donuts IN YOUR MOUTH - Donuts in your BLOOD.  (Subsequently, donuts on my ass, too.  My weight chart is public.  Go look at it.)

 

For some post ops, it happens so frequently and requires the avoidance of simple carbs or mixed meals altogether if we want to live reasonably normal lives.  For an even smaller fraction, it gets so severe even with drastic dietary changes (nesidioblastosis) that these post ops often have surgery to fix it, but this can cause other problems.

Uniquely for ME, I'm already living "abnormally" since I have the additional issue of post RNY seizures- which are still not connected but happened at the same time - so - even if the hypoglycemia was making life hard, whatever, deal. 

Except, it's gotten better since I'm not being such an asshole about carbs.  I won't EAT a "donut."  I mean, sure I WILL, if it's laid out in front of me, but, it's more like eating around the top of it and throwing it away.  I don't purchase junk.  I try to be "good" because if I am not - I pay dearly for it."

Amen .... I couldnt have said it better myself.

Thanks for posting this AMY!!!  Such a good reminder that what we put into our bodies is soooo important and determines the success of our tools!

The same applies to everything in life.  Drop out of school, you won't go to college.  Screw around at work and you won't get the promotion.  Take shortcuts, you won't appreciate it as much as working for it.  Eat poorly, you won't keep the weight off. 

It's all about personal choices -- we all set up our own future!!! 

XXOO

Amy...thanks for sharing this.  We need to be cautious of what goes in our bodies!

Did the check arrive???  Thank you so much once again. I wear it quite often and get plenty of comments...hahahaha!
