A NON-DUMPER???

I HAD MY SURGERY ON 8-16-04 AND TO DATE NOTHING HAS SET ME OFF. I THINK I AM A NON-DUMPER. MY POUCH SEEMS TO HANDLE MOST EVERYTHING I TRY. I DO AVOID SUGARS/HIGH CARBS/CAFFEINE LIKE THE DOC SAID..... JACQUE -42 LBS

I had surgery the same day, my surgeon told me you shouldn't dump this early on. I haven't dumped but have had 2 bouts of my pouch not liking the meat I chose that evening, and did throw up. My understanding dumping is only from high fat high sugar. I haven't dumped yet either, and I'm quite pleased with that. I'm sure if you hit something high sugar or high fat you'll find out real quick what dumping is. I know for myself, I don't want to find out! JUDY Open RNY 8/16/04 -47 359/311.6/175

Jacque I am not a dumper either. It's kinda of weird to be upset that you don't get sick when you eat. It took me a little time to figure out that getting sick is not the norm. Not being sick is the way it's supposed to be. One of my first psycological (sp) hurdles. I have had that middle of my chest death grip though but I haven't nor do I want to. Continued success Jackie -25 lbs p.s how much protein do you get in a day. Your success of -42 pounds is great

I havent dumped on anything yet but I avoid sugar like the plague and I dont eat any bread. I have been sick to my stomach though from a few things that I cant tolerate yet. I do have coffee and half the time its not decaf but its been ok so far. Patty

Not dumping is great! Don't worry about it! I have dumped 3 times now. Once with kidney beans in chili, once with Spaghetti-O's, and once last night with SF cookies (too much sugar alcohols). And I have barfed a few times, too. Once I laid down too soon after eating, once cause I ate too much, and once for eating something too fatty. I guess I should consider this a blessing because it is helping me change my eating habits. But don't worry about not dumping. You just need to have more self-control than me! LOL *~Amber~*

Not a dumper either. And I have pushed the envelope on this one. Although, the assistant surgeon on my case told me the day I was discharged to eat as I could tolerate, just a lot less! I have bouts of nausea, sometimes all day. That is when I just can't stand to eat or the thought of eating! THAT is very strange. Nona
