6 months

I went for my six month check up on August 18th. So far I have lost 111 pounds. I am doing okay I guess. I just always think I need to be losing more, but the doctors assure me I am doing great. Today I was able to eat a happy meal from McDonald's. I mean I couldn't eat the top part of the bun or all of the fries but still...that is awesome! That's the most I have eaten so far.

Saturday I finally had full blown 'dumping syndrome'. It was horrible. I never thought it would be that bad. I had four bites of a muffin from Mimi's Cafe and about a hour later I started feeling horrible. I had terrible chest pains. I tried to suffer through it for about twenty mins, but then the chest pain spread to my back and jaw so I freaked out thinking I was having a heart attack so my Mom rushed me to the ER where they did an EKG and chest x-ray and blood work and said I was having dumping syndrome. It sucked. I will NEVER again in my life eat a muffin. Trust me!

I also started belly dancing on Tuesday to hopefully help me tone up my fat that has become flabby. I use to be solid fat and now it's getting flabby and gross looking but that means it's breaking down and that's what I need.

    Why does a muffin cause dumping syndrome?

    And by the way, 111 pounds! OMG! That is great!

    There is really no rhyme or reason to why anyone dumps. Your body just rejects the food that you put into your body. I have had much worse, so I am not sure why the muffin made me so sick.

    Thanks for being so supportive of me.
