Who dumps?

OH OH.. let me add. I don't consider it dumping per se.. but I love Broccoli, and Broccoli doesn't love me! But I still eat it, cause I'm stubborn like that! ROFL

I have never tested if I dump but know that I do actually dump by accident on things that should not make me dump: protein shakes, one piece of sugar-free candy, a little bitty quarter of a cup nsa ice cream... today I dumped on an ounce of salty soy crisps! Yikes...it scares me enough that I have never tested even a lick of frosting or cake or cookie. So far, the fear factor works for me and I'm thrilled with it. Molly

I MAY have dumped once since surgery. I say MAY have because it was 17 hours later that I got sick and know exactly what it was that came up. It was my chinese food. It sat well when I ate it and of course the rest of the evening. But the next day, I was sicker than a dog. I'm going to say it was dumping and leave it at that, because in reality...I don't NEED the chinese food anyway. It very well could have been food poisoning being that it took so long, but then again, part of my problem BEFORE surgery was gastroparisis (food taking entirely to long to move through my intestines) so it's possible that I dumped. For that reason, I've not touched any sugary foods, unless of course it's natural sugars...milk, fruit, veggies, etc. I do stay away from the fruit juices though...those make me feel ill. Interesting point made about how people aren't dumping as much as they used to. I wonder what they're doing differently today than they were doing a few years ago.

I thought i didn't dump since i have had a few treats here and there, but guess in such small quanities it didn't matter---but the other week (yes im ashamed to say this) went and had some mcdonalds ice cream...ok mm mcflurry. I prob ate 1/2c of it. Good lord i felt horrid after that dizzy nasaus all around like i had drank 10 glasses of wine or something. So if thats dumping yes i have...but you know i was so happy cause i never touched any more crap after that!

I really thought "dumping" was supposed to be violent diarrhea, but after posting this I find that it includes dizzyness and nausea, I guess that does make more sense. Thankfully I have not had any of that either, I guess the few things that I tried and shouldn't have didn't amount to enough to cuase a prolem. Thanks everyone for you input.

I dumped 1 time a few weeks ago. I had a migraine and took some tylenol/codein elixir for it. BAAAAD move, The sugar in the elixir kicked my butt. I started to feel ill at about 3 minutes and then came this horrible intense pain in my pouch/gut area. I felt like I was being poked inside my gut by a gorilla. Then the addition of cold sweats and the intense feeling of nausea. I did not throw up but I also did not have much in my pouch. My heart was racing I kept getting blackout like spots in my eyes and felt dangerously close to passing out. It hurt so bad that all I could do was hunch over and pace in my bathroom moaning ( I am a loud sickie). After about 10 minutes I felt very tired and like I was done. It hit one more time a few minutes later but it was like a 2.0 aftershock from a 7.1 quake so I lied down and was shakey for a bit but all in all I did not panic and knew that I just had to work through it. I am deathly afraid to eat anything now, I won't even try bbq ribs that I crave. Goes to show, you can dump on just about anything, I did not even consider that a med they gave me would do that. Just my luck, I did not even get to enjoy a little sinful eating before I dumped. Brina

On Easter I ate a 1/2 of a *amn cookie that called my name everytime I walked past it and I got shakey and just did not feel well. I do not know if that is dumping or not as I did not have anyother problems. Foamies from eating to fast or not chewing well enought is another story I am getting much better at it so I am HAPPY;)

I dump alot, but in the begining beans made me dump....I think some people are more prone to it
