Dumping Syndrome - My 6 month out!!!

Hello everybody, I just had a dump episode a couple hours ago and I felt like I was going to die!!! I was doing so well and was really trying to avoid eating things that would cause that but this time I had no idea. Now I know what everyone is talking about!!! That mess is horrible!!! My mom prayed for me, my husband prayed for me, and I prayed in the midst of my pain even though I could barely get it out but God heard us!! Never again will I try to eat the nibblet pretzels with honey mustard and onion and the funny thing about it is I hardly ate much of it but as soon as I had the strength to get up it was in the trash!!! I've had couple pieces of the regular nibblet pretzels before and I had no problems. I feel better but I feel weak and couldn't even eat dinner. However, I was able to drink some hot tea and that went down with no problems.

Hi Beverly, I'm sorry to hear that the pretzels made you dump. My husband just bought the same pretzels and the sugar count wasn't so bad, so I was going to try them, well I'm glad I got your post - this saved me alot of trouble. I too am six months out and haven't dumped - I have been trying to be very careful. I know this was painful for you and you have my prayer, but THANK YOU for sharing. deb k

Hi Deb, I thought that is was going to be okay too due to the fact that the sugar count wasn't bad and someone responded to my post being sort of insensitive about staying away from the sugar. I really thought it was okay and I've been trying to be careful as well. Well, I'm glad that you and others may be able to benefit from my post. I guess it's true that the things you go through in life prepares you to help others. Take care.

hi beverly: i love the icons you chose after the trash!!!. what emphasis. seriously, if you've gone these first six months without dumping i'd say you're doing fairly well. i'm also six months out and although it's been awhile, i did dump a couple times - don't even remember from what. it's NOT FUN. i'm glad the tea went down well and i hope you're on a short trip to your new 'normal' - whatever that is. thanks for sharing the info. i'll look out for pretzels with honey mustard, too. have a great weekend. hugs dorthe
