REALITY CHECK

I am 6 months out...and these 6 months have been very uneventful as far as my pouch is concerned I have had no problems.. BUT LAST NIGHT my stupid behind just had to have some ice cream WHY WHY WHY I made my usual protein shake with fat free skim milk and Unjury unflavored pretein powder and fresh strawberries and bananas....but no I had add the ice cream (low carb low fat breyers vanilla) I had my first dumping experience WOW that dumping stuff ain't nothing but SERIOUS I was sooooooooooo sick for hours it was coming from both ends I was crying like a baby...I called for my daughter to help me...she thought I was faking at first I was lying on my bathroom floor crying *yeah I'm faking* she called my boyfriend we live about 45min to an hour away from each other it was about 10:15 pm he was there in 25 min...he is just the greatest I would have never thought he would hold me up so I could in the toilet and not on myself and then wipe my face must be real but anyway DUMPING is NO JOKE I was praying like I was about to die NO MORE ICE CREAM FOR ME Jo

WHY HAVEN'T YOU BOUGHT AND CHOSE SUGAR-FREE ICE-CREAM? THEY SELL IN PATHMARK AND SHOPRITE. IT HAS NO SUGAR AT ALL, AND THAT WAY YOU WONT FEEL SICK.

I live in southern MD and we do not have Pathmark or shoprite stores... I did not find sugar free ice cream my Nutritionist suggested breyers...But Ice Cream is a BIG NO NO for me NEVER AGAIN will I try any type of ice cream its just not that important in my menu.

Hi! Jo! Sorry about your experience with dumping; I'm 6 months out and have dumped about 5 times since I had my surgery and you're right its not pleasant and it hurts. On my daughters birthday I had 1 extremely small slice of her ice cream cake and I like you paid for it dearly afterwards. Congrats to you on your journey, you look great! May your days be sunny and full of life, laughter and love! ki

Wow, what an experience. Sometimes I wonder if I have dumping syndrome, but I do not want to test it either. I am affraid if I find out that I do not dump, I will be tempted to eat things I shouldn't.
