AWWWHHHH OHHHH DUMPING SUCKS!

Well I finally did it ,, Well I went out to eat with my sister and mom, since she's in town and We went to sicilys,, which should be burned down!!! Well I did fine I ate like 4 bites of green bean casorole and felt good then waited 30 mins til they were finished and they went for desert so I thought of neat awesome sugar free deserts,, WRONG WRONG WRONG ,, I shall KILLLL whoever wrote that sign!!! I ate 2 peanut butter cookies SLOW, and couldn't even make it home without , gagging , dying of tummy cramps, shaking and feeling sooo lightheaded, I literally thought I was dying , I almost ran into like 4 people driving soo fast,, I was like honk honk get out my damn way!!! I ran upstairs , leaving my mom in a wheel chair down the stairs and told her I'd me back soon,, I barfed my guts out while ****ting,, yes people it is possible,, I was on the toliet with a trash bag barfing and ****ting ,, OMG SOOO EMBRASSING!!! My mom somehow made it upstairs and said I was sooo pale,, I was shaking soo bad,, I told her I was going back to sicilys to find the cookie maker !!! I had to take something to knock me out b/c I was suffering soo bad : ,, NO SUGAR EVER EVER AGAIN ,, I thought/wished I wouldn't ever experience that, but hey now I know and will NEVER eat sugar again!!!!

Dang, Ash! I don't dump and I think you done gone and scare me sugar-free too. angel

Ash, I am sorry you had your first dumping. I haven't dunped anything yet. But there is a part of me that wishes just once I would when I eat something I know I am NOT suppose to have like the sweets. I do keep it to a min but I have to fight it everyday. The only food that gets me is fried foods I get some of the dumping signs but i don't dumpe it go figure. I know if I had dumped on candy I would stay away from it too. Well take care I have to get to work.... Take care, Chrissy

Ashleigh, there are some sugar substitutes that do that to even people without WLS,...maltitose being one of the worst offenders. Many places that bake their own sweets use them because they bake well. I have always had to stay away from sugar-free unless I knew it was Sweet-n-Low, Equal or Splenda. Sorry you had such an awful experience, but this is a time of learning and we all have to learn what we can tolerate. Try some thing else sugar free when you are at home. ALso we have to watch the fat content. They put in more fat to make it taste better since it is SF. Oooooh, so much to remember.....

Hey Ashley I hope your feeling better this morning. I have decided that, after reading your post, I am not going to take the chance on dumping. I am just going to go with it, and figure I will dump, so therefore I should not eat the stuff that might make me do it. Cindee

Dumping SUCKS! It was probably the peanut butter. Peanut butter makes me sick. It is high in fat. Sugar free doesn't mean fat free and fat can make you dump too. Fat makes me dump worse than sugar does. Sorry you had to experience it but it makes you do better next time. That is the purpose to get us on track. And dumping will definitely get you on track. When I dump I just dry heave mostly while using the bathroom. There usually isn't anything to barf up but the dry heaving is the worst to me. But it sure does make me not eat whatever I ate again that is for sure. Tina

Whoa, that sounds MISERABLE! Ughh! Sorry you had to go through that. I guess its just live and learn.

I know what you mean, I sat here talking on the phone and ate a cookie and then drank milk, just did not even pay attention to what i was doing, well IT got my attention alright I had to go to bed a 7:30pm. I will never do that again.

Thanks everyone for the nice thoughts and words!! I hope I didn't scare anyone from eating anything,, I know everyone handles different foods differently,, I know I am no longer eating any desert while out in public, enless I make it!!

hi ash, i've gotten sick in the car alot, i eat breakfast on the way home from work , which is not a good habit, i don't do well with scrabbled eggs, which i like, and it sticks in my throat, and ive ate chicken one time shortly after i got on solid food, i actually pulled over, and got out of the car, never threw up , but came close to it.. we soon learn the nevers---------- which is different for everyone... good luck rhonda
