I still dump

Even after 2 years things like this still happen.  The funny thing is I NEVER know what might cause it.  But more times than not during this journey the thing that has made me dump the most is protein bars.LOL  I had one yesterday.  I eat them all the time.  I'm very careful to chose bars that are low in carbs and sugar.  This time though my body didnt' want it.  I got so sick to my stomach.  I threw up and then went to sleep.  Woke up starving.LOL

So to all you newbies just because you can eat it one day doesn't mean you can the next.  But dont' get frustrated.  Just dont' eat it for a while and the next time you try it there may not be a problem at all.

It's good to know though that my pouch still works like that.  I have been worried about a regain of a few pounds.  Maybe this is my body's way of saying "ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!"LOL

Our pouches can be stinkers that's for sure.  Seems like my two hit and misses usually is eggs and roast beef.  It's not dumping but that stuck feeling.

Isn't it amazing how we worry so much about the "bad" stuff and it's the things we should eat that cause us grief.LOL

Teena.....at almost 4 yrs post op I still dump too.    I think that we all never know what will cause us to dump.    I tend to dump on my fatty things now than I use to.

I just wish I knew what cause me to dump so I could stay away from it.LOL    I think it could be chocolate in the protein bars.

You may want to watch the sugar alcohol in the protein bars--some have low "sugar" and really high "sugar alcohol"

I still dump, too.  In fact I do so more today than I did fresh out of WLS.  I've also become lactose intolerant which aggravates it.   

Some foods still get stuck and some still blow up after I swallow and I can only eat 2-3 bites.  I just never know...the exact same food can be fine one day but a week later I can't tolerate it, or cannot consume the same amount. 

This week I can barely eat anything...I constantly feel stuffed.  I'm using more shakes this week and forcing the water because liquids seem to be better tolerated right now.  This has happened before so I know I'll be fine, it's just my pouch reminding me that it is still operational...all systems are a go. 

TEENA-thank you so much for bringing this up-you are in my MY head today--a scary place to be --for sure..lol..At 7 years out, I dump..and I'm glad...even as unpredictable as it may be. I just wish I dumped MORE. Today is was on SF pudding with protein powder--something I eat often--but was out of FF milk so used 1% milk--that lil extra whatever must have put me "over the edge"....yuck...

Isn't it GREAT to know that pouch still works???

Yes it's great to know my pouch is still working.  I want newbies to know that just because you don't dump right away doesn't mean you won't dump.  And that it's not just the "wrong" foods that will cause you to dump. 

I have just now been able to start eating yogurt again because it and most dairy products would make me so sick to my stomach and gas me up so bad.  I figured it was lacose intolerance but maybe it was just dumping.LOL

I am almost 6 years out and I still dump.  I'm glad that I do dump still!  The reminder of "hey you aren't supposed to have that"  I am very thankful for...
