Did you test your pouch??

So I am curious.  I was wondernig how people found out if they dumped on certain things or with certain grams of sugar, suarg alcohol etc.  Not that I have any desire to be eating bad things, but I did think about 1 (jyes just one) bite of the birthday cake on Saturday.  I am not worried about losing, or the regaining after.  I know how to eat healthy and what to avoid.  I was just wondering how you know...in case a special occasion came up. Did any of you try something bad ---just to try to see if you dump?  I am so petrified of feeling sick and dumping that I don't dare try anything above 5g of sugar.  I have even hardly had any fruit at all (which I know we need) because I am nervous about it.  I have a feeling I have a puch of steel because nothing has bothered me at all.  Spices are fine, every meat/seafood out there, crisp veggies etc. I also have a wedding to go to memorial weekend.  I would like to have 1 drink and sip on that 1 drink all night.  But what would I have if I don't know how I am on sugar.  I don't want the carbonation of beer (which I hate anyways), wine is sweet right...and mixed drinks are sweet.. So how many of you dump?  What are your limits?  How did you know what they were?

I haven't had anything on purpose that would make me dump . I have learned though if I get bunged up again just have a little more than a thimble full of grape juice.  It was like grease through a goose lol. I started going to church 2 weeks ago and is was communion Sunday. I didn't think about it til after but thought that was barely even a swallow I will be fine. HA HA worse then the bowel prep.I have not thrown up at all thank goodness. But have been in lots of pain if I eat to fast ooof Chicken doesn't set well unless it is like a chicken salad. Steak goes down super good. Maybe cause I need the iron still.

i had a twisted tea saturday night. before i did i made sure i knew where the bathroom was just in case. i was fine although i got a great buzz. after that i drank water and the buzz was gone as quick as it came.

at easter i had one hersey kiss. i was ok with that too. i didn't dare have two cuz i was afraid i would dump. i haven't dumped at work and want to keep it that way.

well for starters i have had a piece of cake not big but it gave me a sugar high, didnt dump. i have also had hersery kisses didnt dump.i eat all kinds of fruit and it doesnt make me dump..like i said before i get a sugar high ..I tried last night a strawberry short cake ice cream bar and not good ..but i am lactose but they were my favorite and only took 3 bites ..wont do that again.. I usually dump on regular food..i made a chop suey and wow went right thru,,today i tried it again and it stayed..who knows i just keep trying differnt thing. I dont eat alot of sweets never have. but my weakness is potatoe chips..and i have made myself sick on them so now only take handful and thats it.. I have tried having a bud light (i never liked beer any ways)but it was really foaming acting in my stomach,,but i drank it no problem..the most i have drank at once is 3 beers but dont like the feeling.. I really like and only have one or two is the smirnoff ice (grape)..it settles great, If your going to have a drink make sure you eat first i didnt and i was drunk on half beer.. I never drank much before and know I wont alot now, just once in a while.. captain morgon spice rum is my favorite but have not dared to try that. dont know what to mix it with i use to use diet pepsi i dont drink any soda. thought about mixing it with my cyrstal light..when i drink that, Hope this helps..trying thing is do even tho we shouldnt but the unknown i dont like. try it at home first, and dont drink and drive..

I am still preop but I will be scared to death to try anything I really shouldn't have.  Because I would be afraid it would NOT affect me in any way.      From what I have read it takes very little alcohol to intoxicate us post ops and longer to clear it out of system.  I love Smirnoff Raw Teas. I wonder how many grams of sugar are in those?
