Dumping Episode.... Damn You, EGGS!

Jan 26, 2010

Hey everyone!  I just got back from Vegas... my fiance was invited to interview for a med school in the area.  I was only there for a couple of days, but it was so much fun!!  I can't imagine walking around if I was any heavier, though.  It's such a trek to go anywhere!  I don't know what part was my favorite.  I DID get to meet the guys from the TV show "Pawn Stars."  That was pretty awesome!  I am broke, so we were really cheap and mostly just walked around a lot.  When I got back home, I found out that I'd lost quite a few pounds!  Woohoo!

On the DOWNSIDE... I dumped.  BIG TIME.  It was my first time ever.  It was on scrambled eggs.  I have realized that I have to trust my pouch 100% to tell me what it needs.  I had previously had a little discomfort with eggs, so I should have known better than to try it again.  What an idiot I am!  We arrived in Houston to grab a connecting flight to Vegas, and Nick and I hadn't really eaten anything before our first flight early in the morning.  SOOOOO... we decided to get a breakfast sandwich, and I would just eat the egg off of it.  The second I swallowed, I felt just a little pinch.  But I thought it was my imagination, so I took a second bite.  One more pinch.  I KNEW that wasn't my imagination... so I decided to just sit there and stare at the egg for a few minutes.  And the more I stared, the sicker my stomach felt.  I just KNEW this was not going to end well.  I got up and hurried toward the bathroom.  On the way, I got stuck behind an old woman with a walker.  I thought, "great, I'm gonna puke in her thin gray hair!!"  I BARELY made it to the bathroom... and then... well, it was ugly.  My first dumping episode was in an airport.  Cute.  On the upside, I've learned a valuable lesson.  I always thought I was kinda invincible, since I have done so well since surgery.  This is just NOT true.  NOT AT ALL!
