Dumping sucks

Yeah...already.  I was making the girls lunch and as I'd always done when I got the natural peanut butter on my finger, I licked it off.  Before it was too late, I realized what I did....oh **** is right.  Noooooooooooot cool.  That'll serve as a reminder, indeed!!!!!  The pouch was NOT pleased.

Damn....hate when that happens! 

I had a dream the other night...took a bite of a brownie, chewed it real well, swallowed just a bit of it and realized I was eating...spit it right out....then a minute later...I bit something else...chewd and spit it out...and then one more time...I rationalized that at least I was chewing thouroughly....and then I woke up....so far only one night of food dream...thank god!

STAY AWAY FROM THE PB!

yikes ... just from a lick....eeesh .....

Hey J... try puree'ing some browned ground turkey.  That was my staple during puree time.  I browned up a package of ground turkey with some onions for a little sweetness.  Then I pureed it in a mini food processor with some marinara sauce.  Stuck it all in the fridge and it stays for a good week or so.  A little scoop of that stuff was all I could eat for a meal back then.  It's tastey and good for you.  I was pretty sick of the cottage cheese and strained black bean soup myself.

Yeah, it wasn't pretty.  The GI was NOT happy with me at all.  Got my lower GI moving since nothing for a week.  But still....iiiicky.

Leza,

The first few dumps do suck but they are really good for you to figure out your pouch's boundaries.  This early out... your pouch has a lot of boundaries! Stay away from anything that has sugar in it!  No lickies... well... except for... *wink wink* LOL

How are you doing Leza?  Moved to soft food?  Dumping does suck and I wi**** was predictable.  I don't get why some days I can graze on cookies all day and others I eat one small sugary bite and the sweat starts pouring off of me.  In my case, it seems to be related to PMS - episodes are much worse.  Or, come to think of it, alternatively, that is when the sugar/chocolate cravings/eating gets a bit out-of-control????

I'm doing pretty good.  I am technically on a pureed food diet til Tuesday, but I saw my surgeon yesterday and he said if I could tolerate unpureed, moist meats, I could go ahead and eat them as tolerated.  Yeah...sweets do me in every time.  Yikes!

The peanut butter I eat is "chunky" and it only has 3 grams of sugar for 2 tblspoons.  I eat it on Whole grain English muffins and love it!  It is weird how we all react differently.

Good to find this message board!
