Well....the dreaded dumping occured today...minor though...I had gone to the store and got low-fat yogurt but didn't look at the sugar content...32g...ugh...I started sweating and felt nauseous for about half an hour.  (note to self : Next time look at the sugar content dummy!!)

Hey Mike - i remember my first dump.  Was a couple months after surgery, and i was at a conference.  Everyone was eating their bagels and danishes with their coffee, and i thought i'd be SOOO GOOD and eat fruit. Well, the fruit is pure sugar - and, i got all sweaty and light headed... Took me a minute to figure it out, but just goes to show you - that stuff gets you when you least expect it..... Hang in there man....

Count it as a blessing!  Imagine not being able to dump on anything like I seem to be?

I quickly became a "professional label reader." It’s kept me from dumping along the way. My 1st, was from some Ketchup! Yah, frigging Ketchup!! Probably 7 or 8 times in my near 5 years being post-op, And most of those the first year. (edited to add- "That Learning Curve can be a Biotche!) It quickly takes "the shine" off of sweets. Thank heavens. If I had to rely on will power alone? I don’t know that I would have ever lost my weight. Best Wishes- Dx

Good /Bad news to my knowledge in a year I've never dumped. To my suprise I've been really good when it comes to sugar. Good Luck Randy

Yeah, it is inevitable, amigo. Reading all the dumping horror stories before my WLS on March 24, I was determined it wouldn't happen to me. I would follow the rules, etc. But a few weeks ago, it did. Chicken breast did it to me; didn't chew it well enough, and it is hard to digest anyway. I had one more since, this time with a soy patty. It sucks. But we learn what we can tolerate, and what we cannot. Keep on truckin.
