Why can some poeple have sugars and others can't?

I had hoped that I would be one of those who dumped from sugar, but I don't.  I know people say that if you do not dump one time, you may the next.  Well, I tested the waters this weekend and I was fine!  I did it on three diff. days in diff. increments of sugar and nothing.  I was hoping I would get so sick. 
I really don't understand why the same surgery makes some people dump and not others?
I wish I would not have tested the waters...but I did.  I know it is not my brain they did surgery on.  Any answers on why this happens to some and not others?

I don't know, LJ, but I'm with you.  I haven't dumped on anything sweet yet.  I really wish I did - BUT, as my beloved Barb J. points out whenever I dare whine about it, the fact is - when I DO have something with sugar in it now, I'm eating just a tiny fraction of the quantity I would have put away pre-op!  Why?  FEAR!!! FEAR of dumping - it's a good thing.

Hello Lisa Joy.....a little sugar now and then won't probably hurt you. You are right...you might dump the next time so why chance it. I choose not to test the waters.....it is a mind set for me. I just don't want to dump....not even to check and see if I will. Everyone has to decide what is best for them. Hugs, connie d

Goodness, you're not even 2 months out yet.  Did you eat a giant size piece of cake, a large chocolate chip cookie or a cup of ice cream? I guess what I'm asking is how much did you eat? At 2 months out you really can't eat that much.  PLEASE don't test the waters. Most of us that have are miserable.

Lisa gave me permission to tell what she ate. The part I don't understand is HOW could she eat that volume? She ate two small packs of chips ahoy cookies or something like that and a taco. She had only eaten yogurt for lunch so that is probably why she felt so hungry late afternoon.  She had planned to eat tuna for lunch but didn't like it so just had the yogurt. I've already kicked her butt nicely. Next.....

I don't need a butt kickin, I need to know whythe HECK I can eat that much without feeling bad at all.  So as Darla said, she doesn't eat very much of it, I seem to be able to eat ALOT and not even feel it.  After eating what Debbie told you I ate, I still feel like I can eat more.  Now, I won't.....but what the heck???  I know the surgery can't do the work for me, but I don't get it??????   I wanna look in my pouch and see where that food went.  I have not had anything to drink with it, so it should be so packed, but I don't feel it!      Also, I should not have tested the water, but I did.  I also ave been going to see a cognitive behavioral therapist, but I don't see that helping me. 

I said a NICE butt kicking Lisa. OK.....NO butt kicking for Lisa.....just a group hug with a burial service for the cookies!!!!

Thank you everyone....I will really try to pretend I may dump or will to different foods.   It is such a crazy thing that some people do dump and others do not!  If anyone ever finds a magical councelor, let me know.  I know food is trouble for me!  :O(

No butt kickin' and YES a burial service for the cookies.  I will be fine.  I will never leave without protein in hand. 

I can tolerate a LOT more sugar than a lot of WLSers. I can usually eat up to 20g of sugar with no repercussions (sometimes more). Linda Anne says she can't even have 9g of sugar. Everyone's different and there's no way to know unfortunately until after the surgery and you experiment. It sucks, but it's true.  That's why people say not to experiment. I'm re-addicted back to sugar/sweets/chocoate/carbs and it's horrible. I'm going to a therapist on Thursday to work on this.  I'm sorry if i sounded too harsh. I don't want anyone to feel like I do - out of control.
