Holy dumping batman!!

Yes, dumping is real. I guess I just needed to find out for myself. I have been doing so good since my surgery. No sickness, tolerating everything I ate, etc. So this morning, I was at a conference and the only thing I could find to eat that I thought might be safe was a muffin. Once I took a bite, I tasted the yummy sugar topping. Did I stop, nope, figured, I am only eating a couple of bites, what's the big deal? Well, the big deal is that I dumped in front of my boss while I was working in our exhibition booth! First, I felt incredibly warm (in a freezing cold hall), then the heart racing, then I ran to the ladies room for the dry heaves. Real nice. Luckily, my boss likes me so he was more concerned than anything. But a dumb move none the less. I do have to say though, that the one positive is that I am really happy to know that I do in fact dump. I was so scared because things were going so well that I wouldn't have any reaction to sugar and sooner or later, I would succumb to the evil sugar devil. I am sure I am not the only person to feel that way.......

I haven't tried sugar, yet. With me it's meats that start my forehead beading up, and the heaves to start. Chicken, ground beef, and sausage have all put me over the edge so far. Live and learn, I quess. DD

I thought it was me...Chicken and beef make me feel like I am about to get sick...I have to lay down right away or I get heart palpatations....I thought man I am not gonna eat that ever again..so lately I am eatting alot of cottage cheese, fish, cheddar and mozzarela cheese. I am almost scared to eat meat. I hate that feeling that you get when the meats kick in. I know that rice and salsa does me in also...I did get sick with that and I thought I was having a heart attack.....

Wow, that's so interesting about dumping on meat! I haven't really tried sugar yet, but I've dumped hard on both aspartame-sweetened yogurt and sugar-free popsicles with nutrasweet. Splenda hasn't bothered me.

I know what you mean about the sugur devil. My surgeon preserves the nerve that causes dumping so I don't/ wont. The only thing I eat with sugar in it is oj. I have to drink 2 oz of oj 2 times a day so I don't become hyperglycimic. I just mix it with the fuzzy navel protien and it is super yummy.

If you make sure the OJ is 100% juice it should be okay anyways. I haven't heard of fructose causing people to dump... I don't think! Waters hurts my tummy so I drink juice... horrible on a diabetic but I just started meds again until I am totally evened out too try to get off of them again.
