I'm scared of carbs

I haven't had bread, or anything like that.  Once in a while I will have a few crackers with cheese.  I'm afraid to start eating bread because before it was all carbs that I ate, and I don't want to go there.

Ok, the gate is open for thoughts. lol

 LOL I know what you mean regarding past eating habits!  If you use a colorie counting program most of them split out the nutients, carbs, fats, proteins, etc.  I am amazed at the amount of carbs I pick up eating fruits and veggies!  So you're not carb free no matter what you do.  I have to stay away from sweets (not a big issue right now as they make my tummy churn just looking at them) and will have to for the rest of my life.  I used to be able to chug threw a big bag of oreos or fudgeo's easy!  If I ever go back to that I will have wasted this wonderful second chance at life, so have no intention of doing that.  

You identify a poisen and stay away from it imo!

Hi Ian,
I haven't had my surgery yet but I am SO, SO afraid of sugar cravings after the surgery. Are you still craving sweets? Have you tried them? Did you have a dumping event? I am hoping that I have the dumping really badly so that if I do stumble, I will get "punished"! Kinda like Antibuse to an alcoholic!!!

 Hello Carol, I do not have sugar cravings, yet.  I tried a half a square this past weekend and was greeted with a huge wave of nausea, didn't even enjoy the sugar so am not going there again!  I have experienced dumping, not a wonderful experience but it sure teaches what to avoid in quick order.  I like to say its like having a tiny surgeon on one shoulder and a tiny dietician on the other both having tasers connected to our tummy, if we screw up!  I really don't crave sweets, I find even things like mangos are WAY too sweet for me now, and seriously I could eat a bag of fundeo's no sweat before rny!  My taste buds are very different now.  I desire (crave would be too strong a word for it) salt, which I never did before.  A few baked chips here and there and I'm good, but I do want them on occassion.  Enjoy your ride, Regards, Ian

 Oh how I do miss fudgeos though.  Drool!

Oh my goodness you look gorgeous!!!

 Awww thanks so much.  Made me blush.  

 LOL, I don't think I could eat one now!  I really don't crave sweets anymore and the thought of eating them makes me feel queezy!  But oh my I have eaten many more than my share!  Its not being able to tolerate the red wine that doesn't make me happy!  I can't even stand the smell of it now!  Sob!    

 I was always a white wine lover and I have no issues tolerating it now (thank goodness)!!  Yay for white wine.

 jealous!
