This is how I dump

Last night I ate 6 small ginger cookies. Knew I shouldn't but did anyway. I've been testing the limits for a week or so now. About 1/2 to 3/4 hour after I had eaten them I felt really really sick to my stomach and felt miserable all over. I did not feel like I wanted or needed to vomit just felt nauseated. My skin felt cold all over and I could not stay sitting up in a chair so I went to bed and covered up with lots of blankets. I did not feel like I was going to die or anything, I just felt totally full body miserable. I would not want this to happen during an outing. It would certainly spoil the entire event.

I have had this feeling before after eating or drinking something too sweet but was not sure if it was dumping or not. Now I have finally figured it out and will try harder to avoid sweets in the future. After I had been in bed about 3/4 of an hour, I started to feel better. About 1 1/2 hours after it started, it was gone. Then I felt back to my old self again.

If that was dumping for me I can handle it. I have read on the RNY site about people having this feeling for 4 or 5 hours. That would be awful. So I guess it's a personal experience. Not something I'd want to do everyday but tolerable if it should happen again. At least now I know what it is.
