and certainly things have changed over time.
Please understand carbs don't always give me trouble, but I think when I start the day w/ caffeine it messes me up a bit.
Later in the day I don't typically have caffeine, and I can eat some bread or pasta.
My diet is pretty regular, but there are things that I try to limit or avoid completely. And it is important for me to not waste stomach space on things that do not provide any nutrients.
I eat no more than 3 or 4 bites of ice cream at once. I can have a cookie or a small brownie, but I can't have it w/ milk. Cheesecake is a no-go.
I ate a cinnamon roll this afternoon and had to lay down afterwards; very strong and fast heartbeat, cold sweats and a bit dizzy. Too much sugar.
The surgery has changed over the years. My sister had it 5 years ago and the rules for her were very different from when I had it in 2004. And the amount of food she can consume in one sitting is about double what I can eat, if not even a little more.
I'd almost always rather have a few extra bites of dinner than eat dessert.
My best option for something sweet is either some fresh fruit, or some single bite of chocolate (like a Lindt truffle or a Hershey's Kiss).
