First Christmas post RNY- overindulging
The only way we learn to avoid doing wrong things is to find where those bad boundaries are in the first place. At about six months out I overate. It was such a new feeling (being full) that I really honestly didn't realize what it was. And I ate too much and puked. And boy oh boy did that teach me a lesson. Now I know what to look for and to really register my feelings.
Your pouch will naturally stretch over time - I've been over a year now and I know I can comfortably hold one cup of food. Anymore and I feel sick... and I don't wanna feel sick!
Dumping - ya - I dumped for the first (and ONLY), time about a month ago. As people say, there is NO MISTAKING if you're dumping. It's either, "I think I'm going to die", or, "Dear God I hope I die". REALLY - it's that bad. Hours on the bathroom floor, the toilet, the sofa. BF saying, should I take you to the ER? Terrified him for sure!
My point being, yes, we're human and want to test the waters - so it's understandable - but now learn from that lesson.
Thank you so much. I have never dumped and usually on track. I think I ate too fast and didnt chew well. I had about cup or slightly one bite to much. For us RNYers, that can be overindulging I WILL NOT do it again and pay close attention during busy gatherings. I feel awesome now and my lil pouch forgave me
