I take it back... I do dump

I've said before that I don't dump... well, I take it back!  Tuesday night my brain must have been on Venus or somewhere, I walked into the kitchen and ate one of those little round brownies from Sams (BAD DH for buying such evil things!).  Well that one tasted so good, I took 2 more and headed to the living room with my usual, nightly glass of 1% milk.  Needless to say, about 10 minutes later, I'm sitting on the potty, sweating, heart racing, nasuated and hoping to just puke (which I didn't).   Then I told DH that I was sick and went to lay down on the bed with 2 fans blowing on me waiting for this misery to pass so that DH could admister my nightly enema treatment!  So, after about 30 minutes, he came to check on me and I was a little better and said OK, get it over with!  Thank God, we are done with that ritual now!
 
Now, I have to admit over the past couple of months, while I've been struggling with the complications from the cancer surgery, I have gotten too lax in my diet.  Many, many days I struggled to get anything in, but lately my appetitie has gotten back a little closer to normal and I have slipped back into some BAD habits.  I've also had so many people telling me I was getting too thin (I don't know who the heck they are looking at because I am NOT too thin??).  Well, this dumping episode has helped get me back on the right track and paying more attention to getting my protein in and staying FAR, FAR away from those brownies!

Morale of the story....  even after 10 months, we still can be reminded WHO'S IN CHARGE! 
Thank you little POUCHIE!

Ya'll have a great day!  Alice 

Oi, Alice!  Glad you are back on track but it sucks it had to be that way!  Also celebrating the end of your nightly ritual with you.  Whew.  Hope it was just the ticket and you are on your way to a full recovery. 

The pouch rules the roost. I'm so sorry you dumped - it's a humbling experience. I just wanted the stuff to come out - either end didn't care just get out. Oscar the Pouch decided to hold on to it for what seemed like hours.

I'm glad your nightly ritual is over. Now that you've got this behind you I'm sure you're going to be more vigilant about your eating.

Good Luck

I have not had my surgery yet but I think I experienced "dumping" a few weeks ago.  I obviously ate a bad chicken salad sandwich that I got from the grocery store while at the beach.  A few hours later I felt I needed to have a BM, so I went in the bathroom and all of a sudden I felt really hot, dizzy and horrible.  Next thing I knew, I was grabbing the trash can and just started throwing up.  It was all so surreal because I wasn't sick before and I felt better (just weak) right after.  But those 10 or 15 minutes were yucky. 

I can see the benefit to having dumping, because I haven't desired a chicken salad sandwich since!

OHHHH, you definately had some BAD chicken salad....  glad the experience didn't last too long. 
I know I have walked by those brownies for the last 3 days and had NO problem staying away from them!
