I ate Cotton Candy Tonight...
Dec 07, 2009
Well, tonight my husband and I drove his white 1964 Cheverloet Step-Side Truck... (pulling an old, rusty trailer) in Tuscaloosa Alabama's annual Christmas Parade... It was decorated SOOOOOOOOOOO cute!FUN! FUN! FUN!
When I saw a man selling light up wands, necklaces and COTTON CANDY, I went absolutely CRAZY!
I dug through Paul's wallet, grabbed $2, jumped out of the truck, and ran to the man selling my favorite food item on the planet... COTTON CANDY!!!!
I have heard that SUGAR is the ENEMY after RNY, so, thus far, I have been very apprehensive about eating large amounts of sugar.
Well, I ate it.... THEN, I waited (thinking "Dumping" was coming any minute...) and I waited... I waited some more... still, nothing... WHY?
Many POST OP RNY people have told me that they can't handle sugar... they "Dump" BIG TIME!
These RNYers tell me the number of grams they can handle at one time (at THE MOST) is: 6 to 12 grams...
WELL? How was I able to eat half the bag of this DELICIOUS Cotton Candy with absolutely NO side effects... ?
Will this last forever, or is this still the HoneyMoon Period that RNYers talk about?
OR-
Am I one of those RARE people that CAN EAT SUGAR after RNY...?
I am not sure if I am happy about this because I thought that getting sick off sugar would help me keep my weight down and under control...
If I can eat sugar with no problems I am scared to death that I will cheat, cheat, cheat...
So, I am going to have to learn how to just "taste" the sugary food... NOT eat 'until my heart is content'...
Please pray for me... SUGAR and I go 'hand and hand'... I need self-control...
