I dumped...

eww....barf'o'rama... I had a normal lunch of chicken salad, a few grilled veggies and a splenda mandarin orange cup for lunch.  A total of about 1 cup of food.  About 10 minutes later, I ate a chocolate creme wafer cookie.  Sixty calories, 7 carbs, and 4g sugar.  Within about 15...heart racing, hot flushed face and neck and mouth watering. I quickly kicked off my shoes and ran to the bathroom.  It came right back up.  Just the cookie though and nothing else.  With my fresh new hair cut and color and hear I am barfing in the bathroom.  At work even!  Yuck. Needless to say, I'm not going to eat a cookie like that again.  I thought it was harmless.  Who would have known. It still blows my mind that our little pouches can get the umph to contract and push the offending food out. 

Sorry to hear that Kathy, dumping is the worst, and at work no less ... you poor thing. I've dumped off too much fat twice, OMG it was terrible, and not something I expected at all.

yuck I agree dumping is the worst......I have only dumped once and it was on cheerios lol  I duno why or how but it was on dry cheerios .....I eat other crap i shouldn't and i don't dump so who knows....that cookie maybe ok one day but not the next,,,,,,,Its the grouchy pouchy syndrome.....

I'm laughing because you dumped on cheerios!  That is just too ironic.  Something relatively healthy!

Hope your starting to feel better.

HUMMM I am having a feeling I resembled that last night as well. I kept vomiting on and off for like 2 hours though. Not sure what happened. Nothing came out but the water I drank just before I started getting nauseous. WOW what ever I did wrong I do not want to do again.

I've had that before without the vomiting.  Just the foamies.  Early on though and I think it was from not chewing well! 

One good thing about the at work incident, I clean my bathroom so it wasn't nasty.  I took it easy for dinner last night with a 2 egg omelette that I couldn't finish.

Dumping:  a blessing and a curse.  A blessing because of the principle of negative reinforcement:  if I eat this cookie, my heart is going to race, I will feel terrible, and it's like I'll puke my guts out.  Humans, like other animals, are very "trainable" when it comes to this sort of thing - you may do it a couple times, but once you learn that you will consistently have this reaction, you'll stop trying it.   It's a curse because some folks cannot have even the smallest quantities of things they used to enjoy.  So it removes some of the joy from food because it can really limit what's okay for you.  And for the unfortunate few who become super sensitive to carbohydrates, it can present a challenge to find a daily food plan that gives them enough nutrients and energy, but does not make them feel ill.   You may find that your sensitivity to sugars/processed carbs changes over time; mine did, but in a relatively good way.  I'm one of the lucky ones who can have small amounts of sugar/processed carbs without dumping, but if I have too much, I dump.  And I really hate how that feels, so I'm pretty careful to eat very small amounts and I try to limit these kind of "treats" to special occasions.   Anyway, sorry this happened to you at work, but at least now you know that you dump.  Again, blessing, curse...

I dumped once on my trip, on oatmeal of all things.  I put some fruit in it, some splenda, and tiny tiny bit of honey.  I think the raisins did it.  I went back to the hotel room, did the heart pounding, sweating thing, then slept.  I usually sleep it off.  The mouth watering is usually a sign you are going to throw up.  Since surgery when my mouth waters like that I know what's coming.  It doesn't happen often and sometimes I can avoid the actual upchuck, but it happens.  For me its not been related to dumping.  I haven't thrown up from dumping, but I dump on both sugar and fat, and in the case of sugar its almost always fruit.  How annoying.
