Topic: Protein Balls part 2 - Rolled vs. Quick
Well, I found the answer to our question so my next batch of protein balls will be made with the quick oats......
on yahoo answers I found the following response to my question on here as to:
"what is the difference between rolled oats and quick oats"....
response was:
" Not really a big difference. Quick oats are rolled oats, that are rolled just a little thinner, but should work."
another response was:
"Rolled oats are whole oat grains that have been steamed and rolled to make them flat; they take longer to cook. Quick oats are the same thing but pulverized so that they cook quicker. Use either one, it doesn't matter, it will taste the same."
Whew!! I bought Steel oats a few weeks ago!! Now I have lots of oats to choose from ;-)

Topic: RE: 1st dumping experience - BRUTAL!!
I'm thinking for you that had you only eaten a bit of the roll (sounds like you ate the whole roll?) And then the sweet on top of it (only a nibble), might have been all that it took.
I've eaten some bread products, but usually only if it's toasted and not the entire thing. Chicken itself is very hard to digest, especially the breast meat, then the roll might have been too doughy. I try to lean towards toasted bread or crust and only a couple of tastes, due to it sets really heavy on my system and it seems like it creates a blockage temporarily.
Sounds like it was a combo of alot of things for you. It sure is amazing how quickly dumping happens for us though isn't it.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I honestly don't know if they have a message board specifically geared for this topic. Chances are they don't, but there are soooo many different areas on this website :-)

Topic: RE: Protein Balls
I don't know why they have to have so many different variations and why can't they just all call them the same darn thing!! I think of quick oats as those little packets that you can make quick, but even the big jug you can make quickly and I think of those as "rolled oats" - who knows huh :-) They're good to eat uncooked as well, so I guess it really doesn't matter huh :)

Topic: RE: What is on your thanksgiving menu?
Turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, greens beans, corn casserole, salad, rolls
All the usual suspects will be there. I'll be taking a couple of small bites of a variety of sides but focusing on the bird.
I'm going to make a sugar free pumpkin dessert and packing my coffee maker/magic bullet to whip up a frosty pumpkin spice protein latte for my breakfast every morning.

Topic: RE: 1st dumping experience - BRUTAL!!
Yeah!!! Last Night I was at a formal gathering. I decided it was ok to have a whole wheat roll and also had some baked chicken. But they brought out the cheesecake and I decided to nibble on it. Needless to say I got dizzy and almost fainted , was sweating , and had to go to the bathroom.
Why I do these things I will never know. I think it is to test my limits. I read these boards all of the time that that is not good to do...but this was my first high society dinner since surgery..
I think dumping is different for all of us..Is there a place that talks about this on this message board... too bad you experienced this...
